Certainly. They are a business and have no obligation to allow anyone more credit.
Most hospital emergency rooms are required to treat people with serious injuries only because they receive government funding. Your dentist probably does not and your dental treatment is probably not life threatening.

Can a dentist refuse to treat you?
If the dentist can demonstrate that he/she is not qualified to provide the proper service needed by someone with a particular disability, it is legal. For example, if a person required sedation, and the dentist was not trained in sedation, he could refer the patient to someone that was qualified. If the patient required care be provided in a hospital setting, and the dentist did not have hospital privileges, he could refuse. On the other hand, if the patient simply arrives in a wheelchair, the dentist cannot refuse to treat on that basis alone. All dental offices are required by the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) to be wheelchair accessible.
