I am guilty of using my “influence” and connection to the CFPA Community to benefit my kids more than once. We sold Girl Scout Cookies at The Open for Nicole. We did other fundraisers and “awareness” events. Now, I have another request because Natalie has a project for Physics class that needs a large number of responses for an online questionnaire. Please click through the following link to answer questions about your dentist and radiation exposure. Thanks for helping.
“As current students enrolled at Palo Alto High School, we have decided to take to our Physics research project by exploring the risk of dental X-Rays in causing thyroid cancer. We are conducting a survey to understand patient concerns about this topic. Your feedback will help us assess awareness and perceptions regarding X-ray safety in oral care. This survey is anonymous and will take only a few minutes to complete. Thank you for your participation!”
Thank you for your support.
I look forward to what we will do together.
