This is the U.S. of A.? Are you on some program like Medicaid, where your federal government contributes to your dental work cost? Then surely your SSN is needed, hmm?

You can request to block your SSN, the number is on their website.

Do you have reason to believe your dentist is going to try and steal your identity?
