I would compare dentists to time share salesmen but I don't want to insult time share salesmen.
Unfortunately, my teeth are in pretty bad shape because I cannot find a decent, HONEST dentist that isn't hell bent on selling me 50 procedures that I do not want nor need, extensive x-rays being one of them. "But today's x-rays are only a fraction in strength what they used to be", etc., "We have to do a full examination and x-rays of your mouth before we can decide on a treatment plan".
Oh please.
I'm so fed up with it. I call and ask what the "consultation fee" is and the receptionist/office manager acts like I am speaking Martian.
I think X-rays and exam before treatment plan are good medical practice.
I don't like the term treatment plan. It assumes everyone has something to be treated and no one on the world has good teeth.

I am sorry that you feel that way...you are contradicting yourself. first you say that that your teeth are in bad shape. Then you say that you say that they try to help you, but then you state that you don't need their help and you know more than the dentist and staff.
my suggestion is go into your tool box and get the rusty pliers and extract your teeth yourself. There. Problem solved
But you need a treatment plan because your teeth are bad by your own admission. Don’t worry about everybody else and whether they need one. Just take care of yourself.
I personally have good teeth. My original dentist told me they would last me until I'm 100. Then he retired and an upseller bought the practice.
Sorry - I confused you with someone else ...
