Have any of you

been to a TMJ dr before?
I have a consult with one because the dentist can't fix the problem and they do not accept UC Everything has to be be paid up front:mad
a consult is 135.
but the lady did tell me that it is covered under medical not dental and I have no clue how to go about it
So has anyone been through this?

No but i will be soon! My insurance doesn't cover TMJ at all!!! So when Grant and I get married I'm hopeing that the medical insurance will cover it! It is so friggin painfull, I don't understand why they wont cover it!!!!!

Thanks ladies I guess when i get back from getting hte kids I will call Tricare and see what I have to do
i feel like he ripped my mouth today cause he said I didn't open wide enough
I couldn't open any wider

i hope it feels better!

that is really crappy cause they told me Tricare would
I will deal with the pain. I have for the past 15 years it has just gotten REALLY bad lately We can't afford it cause they have already told us that all 3 kids need braces
