Today at a new dental office, the hygienist was taking x-rays. I have Mandibular Tori. The apparatus that they make you bite down on (whatever it is called) was extremely painful - the Mandibular Tori that I have are not too large, and I've never had such discomfort before.
Generally speaking, the hygienist should know how to properly take the x-rays without causing any pain in the patient right? Even if they have Mandibular Tori? When I mentioned the pain, she was surprised - aren't they trained to know that that area of the mouth is sensitive, and to position the plastic mouthpiece accordingly?
