Wow, the US are crazy.

Here in Europe I never heard a dentist recommend that (yearly check-ups yes, of course, but they're manual - and accurate)

Because in civilized countries insurances pay 100% of x-ray exams, and needed treatment.

But some countries still believe in the advantages of the middle ages.

My middle age country offers largely free dental care (not for crowns and implants, unfortunately)

Routine dental X-rays are not backed by evidence
