Some may argue that if it effects a SC'd condition the VA will take care of it, I say - good luck on that one. JMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love this website, Ping Jockey ping, I had a tooth fracture last week and I'm probably looking at 1 K to fix it :-( Just glad I do have the cash but sure would prefer to spend it on fun rather than a danged tooth !

sharon Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 The dental clinic will do emergency care and will stabelize the tooth until you can get treatment elsewhere. I think you have to be there when the open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted October 10, 2011 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 10, 2011 If you got the money try and save the tooth. You only get one set in life after childhood. I cracked one once. I had to get a root canal and crown. It costs me but I still have that tooth. The VA may want to pull it. You don't want that if you can afford to save it. If you pull one tooth the opposing tooth starts to grow and can screw up your bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
