Root Canals require Xrays?

0

I had $8000 worth of work done to repair a broken bridge to front teeth, including 2 root canals, crown lengthening, and the bridge. NO x-rays were ever taken. I then had an issue with molar #15 and was told I needed a filling. I arrived for the filling and was told they “looked at my x-ray” and determined that I needed a root canal, build up and crown, for a total of over $2000 more. I foolishly let them start treatment but then realized I’d been lied to. Ended up going elsewhere and paying twice. When I got records there were no x-rays that showed #15 and no x-rays of front teeth either. Can root canals be done with NO x-rays ever? Others have done multiple x-rays during root canals.
