This is a quick follow up.. I have been gone from this Board for a long time. Sorry.

I did go through the Chamber in Nov. and Dec. finished Dec. 24th. Was home for Christmas. It was very helpful in the healing and I could see a difference in the gums. To answer my own question above; Medicare did cover the treatment dives.
