Dental Grade

Do I need a doctors note to take xrays on my patients in dental hygiene school if I am pregnant?
My instructor never mentioned that I needed a doctors note to take x rays on my patients and when I did she down graded me. She claims it is in our handbook but i read over it and it just says that I must inform my instructor that I am pregnant. Can she down grade me? Isn't this discrimination?
As long as you follow the radiology guidelines as everyone is required to, to gain their certification, then you should be fine. OBVIOUSLY don't stand in the room while the x-ray is being shot. I have worked in a dental office the entire time I have been pregnant--4X's. The levels of radiation exposure for newer or digital x-ray units is minimal anyway. If I remember right, an fmx(full mouth x-ray series) is comprabale to 10 min in the sun. The only thing you need to avoid is being around nitrous-even with a scavenging system.
The instructor/dr wants to be informed to make sure you are taking the necessary precautions to protect your unborn child.
Happy hygiene pregnancy! =)
