Anyone heard of this kind of x-ray? Went for a cleaning today and she asked if I wanted it. Says it's an x-ray where you stand up and I think it goes around your head. Wasn't sure if it was covered by insurance, so I didn't get it today, but will if anyone knows whether it's a good thing to have done. I still have two wisdom teeth that never came in and I am 47...might be why they brought it up. Says it checks for tumors and bones around the teeth not in.

Thanks for any info on the subject!
