Possible changes to dental radiography

Recent updates to regulations may affect X-ray procedures in general practice.

Members may have heard that there have been amendments to the IR(ME)R regulations. We have contacted the UK Health Security Agency about how this may affect dentistry, and they have said that the matter is still being looked into. However if there are to be any changes, they look to be minimal.

As soon as we have received confirmation on what changes there may be we will update members, and provide guidance on any actions which may be required.

Current advice on radiation is available to members on our radiation protection advice page. Not a member? Find out more about our membership options and join today.
