Your Teeth

Ugh...I never had cavities...now all of a sudden with all the auto-immune disease I have besides Sjogrens my teeth are deteriorating. I lost my front tooth and put an implant and another tooth with crown had to be recrowned. I was told 6 teeth need to be removed due to cavaties and replaced by a crown. Needless to say getting a second opinion. Of course Insurance doesn't cover any of this. Just giving you a heads up.

  1. Hi , that'sa lot to deal with both emotionally and financially. I wonder if your doctor could help diagnose the dental work as a medical necessity and that would help with coverage? I'm shareing a couple of articles that may help:
