They can feel cavities with their scaling tools. That's like half the reason why they train in school. They don't need a damn x-ray to do that. And they all say "We will not continue unless we do an x-ray" which just floors me. How is shooting x-rays in my skull even remotely healthy for my brain? I get we can tolerate x-rays, but jesus every damn time I switch dental practices or minimum once per year?
