Ok I have all my dental records and just recently per DOD mandatory periodical health assesment I am a class 3 dental which means i will have issues in the next 12 months if untreated.
well depolyed in 3006 reurned 2007 back then i was fime and now I have worn my teeth down bad to the point of needing crowns filling etc, yeah they gave me a night guard a year ago. so any way I filed for bruxism sent them in all mdental records there return with DENIED breaking or chippings ones tooth is not dental trauma and compensation is only to fix a issue not a monetary compensation I filed a NOD the next day.
now I am told I have TMJ clicking and soreness,plus headaches are coming back not to mention I am pushing 40 years old and my teeth are ground to the stump and I did all this over 3 years
can you file TMJ secondary to PTSD since thats what the VA is saying I should have done in the first place SO confusing!
