Q: Taking xrays and working around nitrous oxide
I'm currently working as a dental assistant. My dentist has been great with me sine I've started there and even when he found out I was pregnant he has been taking the xrays in the office for me to protect the baby. He is also looking into possibly hiring another da to help me as my pregnancy progesses so I can take it easy. This job is part-time and I am a registered dental hygienist due to the decline in positions available I haven't been able to find a dh position job. Well I was filling in for the receptionist at my dental office this week and asked a lady if she knew of any temp positions or dh positions available anywhere. Well long and behold she found me a dh position for one day a week which happens to be my day off. I have an interview weds and just learned on there website that they use nitrous oxide and the dh takes rays in the office. What should I do? Is there a professional way to handle this situation? I want the job but I don't want the risk of a miscarriage?This question was asked Mar. 17, 2012 3:48am
