I live in a very blue area where 90% are vaxxed. I've had the same dentist for 20 years. I like him because he is an old guy who doesn't push for unneeded xrays or procedures. Last time I had an exam and cleaning six months ago, he asked if I was vaxxed. I lied and said yes because I understand his paranoia about touching people's mouths all day. He sent me a reminder of my next appointment saying that all patients must be vaxxed. How do I find another dentist who doesn't care about vax and doesn't push for unneeded procedures (as some of them do)?

Just call them and ask if they're accepting new patients, and if they require the injections. If they say yes, politely tell them that you refuse to use their services for that reason, and call the next dentist in the book.

Also tell your current dentist that same reason.
