I am interested in the discussion about teeth.
 
I have gluten intolerance, grind my teeth, and before I was diagnosed
had all of the symptoms described in MRS MARTHA O DUNN's message [Jan 5,
11:05am] concerning teeth.
 
I have been looking into having porcelain caps put on my upper and lower
front teeth, in order to restore the appearance but also to restore my
byte which has been changed by the wearing away of my incisors. This
will cost over $5,000.
 
My question is, has anyone been able to make a claim on one's medical
insurance for cosmetic restoration of teeth, using the celiac sprue as a
medical cause for prematurely worn teeth?
 
I just started subscribing to this list this week, so I may have missed
pertinent discussions about this that took place in 1995.
 
Martha, thank you for your 2 cents.
