I'm not sure what will happen insurance wise. I have dental coverage, but it only covers basic cleanings, etc. To me, this should be covered by major medical, as it is 100% a direct cause of the radiation. I have major medical, and I have a small cancer rider insurance policy that I will also file on. But no guarantee that either will pay anything. I will out of pocket for thousands of dollars up front...
