Jay Korsen for Myself Bedford Let's allow the public to make their own healthcare and dental care decisions. Ionizing radiation should not be a requirement for a dental maintenance visit. | Bedford | Support | 158 | Jan 22, 2026 | |
Nina Kelly` for Myself Auburn PLEASE support your constituents by voting in support of this bill. No one should be forced to comply with this mandate for x-rays! | Auburn | Support | 132 | Jan 22, 2026 | |
Nancy Greenwood for Myself Hollis I have been refused treatment and told I cannot remain a patient in a dental practice if I didn’t continue getting yearly x-rays…in spite of the fact that my home care is always praised. | Hollis | Support | 186 | Jan 22, 2026 | |
christina matthews for Myself Strafford I support HB 1286. I have 2 large thyroid nodules. My thyroid is already compomised and allowing xray would further comprimise my thyroid. My dentist removed me from their practise since I refuse xrays to protect my thyroid. | Strafford | Support | 226 | Jan 22, 2026 | |
Darlene Roy for Myself Alexandria I take wonderful care of my teeth. My hygienist tells me too. Then they turn around and tell me I HAVE to have xrays done annually or they won't see me. I find this practice to be an insult and overstep on something not needed for my health. Thank you for considering and supporting this! | Alexandria | Support | 288 | Jan 22, 2026 | |
