Brian, thank you for the good news. My dentist has already discussed the ones you said medicare will cover. We are however, trying to save the 16 teeth I have left as long as we can. He seems to think that once I've passed the 6-7 year mark, I can get alot more done without using HBO. My radiation Dr says only one of the teeth will need HBO before being pulled. Have you ever heard of medicare covering the fillings, etc he's working on now? He wants to replace a bridge but so far we're keeping it. BTW I LOVE Laguna Niguel!

Hi Eileen, thanks. Although I'm on Medicare with a United Healthcare supplement that is nice to know. With the deluxe rider I bought, they only pay $500 a year. Not really worth the $39 a month.
