More details to this question:
My DDS was unable to see me in my emergency with my tooth. I found another dentist to take me right away because of the pain. Now my first dentist wants to charge me a transfer fee of $145.00 is this common practice?

I don't believe he can charge you a "transfer fee" but if your new dentist wants copies of all of your dental chart (which would include x-rays) then your old dentist has the right to charge you a duplicating fee.
