‘The Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency has recently warned against using the ‘Tianjie Dental Falcon’, a hand-held X-ray machine imported from China.
The device exposes users and patients to 10 times the normal level of radiation, increasing the risk of cancer and organ damage, and therefore poses a significant health risk.
Dentist in Sheffield would like to reassure our patients that WE DO NOT USE devices of this sort in our practices. All of the X-ray machines used at Dentist in Sheffield are made and supplied in the European Union, and comply with all health and safety requirements.’
