[QUOTE="klmno, post: 367067, member: 3699"] There's something weird about this tooth or gum or something I'm not sure about- it goes over my head. And there's the additional issue I have about being awake during major dental procedures. (It is a phobia stemming from a dentist hitting a nerve in my face as a teen) So I've been told it will cost over $1000 but that includes an extra $200-300 for major medications to get me thru it. That's why I didn't have it done- there were so many difficult child costs that I decided it could just fall out. But it hasn't. I would call that place though and see if they could give me a deal anyway except I don't even have $75 to spare right now. I am very fortunate in that it looks like (if I am interpreting all this info correctly) the level of care I qual'd for by VA will cover all medication and dr appointment costs even without a copay. However, I don't think it covers any dental procedure. If this tooth is a real major issue like my dentist tried to say, I'm hoping I can get it considered medical and get VA to do it anyway. The advantage of health care by a military/VA agency is that they consider MH as medical instead of a behavior problem. The disadvantage is that dental sometimes is considered a secondary priviledge.
