I see the TMJ dentist Monday

[XanaDUer2]

I'm really nervous. They ran a bunch of diagnostic tests a few weeks ago. Now I hear the results. The orthotic device is, at least, $6100. I need a new night guard.

Its affecting my mental health. My left jaw clicks when I chew.

1. Hope you issues are resolved. I was really hoping that Dental and Vision would be

included in Medicare. Dental is so expensive these days....as is almost everything.

2. Medicare doesn't cover TMJ

Tmj Is halfway a dental issue and a medical issue. I hope to get Medicare in December

3. Before you shell out that much $$...

Perhaps a $60 - $100 massage might help, even if it takes a few or regular treatments, would be less than a device that you feel much discomfort about. Seriously, but also personally, when I have that much stress over a thing it often ends up being something I would be better off without.

Just saying, do what you feel comfortable about.
