Are we willing to put those we should be rescuing from peril at further risk with a procedure that would produce no guaranteed benefit? “It is inappropriate and unethical to take radiographs of people when there is no health benefit for them,” warns the dental association.

CBC – Canada a Top Destination for Highly Skilled Immigrants, World Bank Finds
Canada is among the four countries of the world that consistently attract the top tier of highly skilled immigrants, new research from the World Bank suggests.
