I try that too, but they don't want to treat you if you don't get them even though they are treating an external organ (they are going to drill/grind it anyways), and dental x-rays are linked to brain tumors: https://www.webmd.com/cancer/brain-cancer/news/20120410/dent......

Also I had my fair share of dentists that do root canals for no reasons...

I'm thinking about going to a poor country to get my next treatment...

They only desist when I inform them I 'may' have had imaging done in the recent past.

Back in AZ, many people I know visit Mexico for a day of eating, shopping & a dental visit. Not necessarily in that order.
