About the Course
Achieve your NEBDN Certificate in Dental Radiography with SmileWisdom. Our dental nursing courses are accredited by the National Examining Board for Dental Nurses (NEBDN). Our students have an outstanding record of achievement in passing the examination.
NEBDN Certificate is equivalent to a Level 4
A qualified dental nurse who is awarded the NEBDN Certificate in Dental Radiography will be able to act under prescription as an IR(ME)R operator, in order to safely take intra-oral and extra-oral radiographs of patients.
The additional skills acquired, together with the knowledge gained, will enhance your CV and bring benefits to your employer and to patients.
Dentists use radiographs for many reasons: to find hidden dental structures, malignant or benign masses, bone loss, and cavities. A radiographic image is formed by a controlled burst of X-ray radiation which penetrates oral structures at different levels, depending on varying anatomical densities, before striking the film or sensor.
Teeth appear lighter because less radiation penetrates them to reach the film. Dental caries, infections and other changes in the bone density, and the periodontal ligament, appear darker because X-rays readily penetrate these less dense structures.
Dental restorations may appear lighter or darker, depending on the density of the material.
The SmileWisdom Dental Radiography course is suitable for GDC Registered dental nurses who currently assist, or will shortly be assisting in the field of dental radiography.
The course is idea for dental nurses who would like to be more involved with patient care and would like to support their dentists in the diagnosis and treatment planning by providing good diagnostic radiographs.
