If you have a DBS, tell them about your sensitivity to electric pulses. The modern electronic scaling tools used by dental hygienists are among those devices which can be dangerous to you if you happen to have an antenna going into your brain like we do They can still clean your teeth he old fashioned way.
XRAYs are fine, and I'm not aware of any dental procedures that would require MRI ( It wouldn't hurt to educate your dentist ln that).
