a good practice or a scam?

I got a reminder text from an endodintist about an appointment that I don't remember making. I called the office and was told that it's the one year follow-up after a root canal revision on number 30. I have had a bunch of root canals over time and don't remember a checkup of this sort. I asked if it would cost anything. She said if it was just an xray it would be free. No dental work is free. She probably meant my insurance will cover it. She reminded me that if they need to use the 3D scan I'd have to pay out of pocket (dental insurance doesn't cover those in general, not just this time). My inclination would be to say no, I don't need a followup, but in the perverse way of my teeth, if I skip it the tooth will probably fall out next week.
