Deborah I had a feeling most of my teeth problems were from the MS.

Just have to find out what another bridge will cost. I had ins. before but now I don't :-(

I had 11 teeth pulled about 8 years ago and now have partials. Had no problems in the process. The rest of my natural teeth seem to be fine. The ones they pulled were breaking and chipping a little bit at a time over a period of years. My dentist said it MAY have been due to MS

@A MyMSTeam Member I'm so sorry. The insurance thing is tough. I pray a way will be made for you to get the work you need done.
Blessings to you!
