question on getting financial help GAIL & all, dental help

[Guest guest]

Hey Gail! I Gang! Long time! Hope all are well.

I am sorry for the long absence but I've had a lot going on here.

Including no longer getting my gold shots as the company informed my rheumy that

they are no longer making it because it is too expensive and not enough

demand..... I suppose me shouting is not demanding enough? lol

Gail, I am having a similar situation here with my husband, also disabled,

but at least we can turn to the VA as he is 100% service connected from

army accident/injury.

But, oddly enough the VA does put through to your private insurance if you

have any! So here is all I can offer as a possible help. Maybe have your

dentist office (or you could try) ask about submitting this to your

medical insurance as a medical emergency. I know my daughter got a percentage

paid when she had painful wisdom teeth removed. It wasn't even 1/2 I don't

think, but it's something to at least try for. Especially since the teeth

were likely injured a long time ago in an accident, which unfortunately

means you have to be on the lookout for this to re-occur with other nearby

teeth. My husband, the dentist now surmises, that during the accident my

husband must have slammed his jaw shut when his head struck the windshield that

it caused micro fractures of many teeth. So far he's had to have 3 or 4

repaired, he could be eating bread one day and a tooth just breaks off!!!!

Best of luck girl.

I'm behind way behind with everyone, I am trying to make a few minutes each

day now to keep up rather than waiting to check e-mail for a 2 week period

(thinking, " well, when I feel up to it.... " ) but the I end up here for 3

hours and come away with my shoulder killing me and all! Boo hiss!

love to one and all!

Dear friends, sorry it's been so long since I posted, been busy with my

husband having surgery again. Just wanted to know if, in all of your

research, has anyone ever found a program that helps pay for dentures?
