My husband is also having major teeth issues. He has basically been living at the dentist for the past 6 months. He is doing everything to keep his teeth but it certainly is expensive for dental repairs. I even have the "enhanced" dental plan. I don't understand why insurance doesn't cover more when it comes to dental issues. The kicker is my husband's father was a dentist and my husband has also been very deligent with his dental care. The after affects of this cancer just seem to go on and on and on.
