Standard dental X-rays are different than the cone beam CT, which are more similar to the CT scanners in hospital. 70+ dentists in Alberta bought them for their offices because you could charge lots of money for the scan instead of Xrays, and you could also sell them for vanity reasons (eg. 3D model of your kids teeth). Alot of dentists got very rich doing these, all at the cost of their patients wallets and increased radiation dose.
