@sando, how is it over there in la la land.
There is a generic for Forteo Alvogen teriparatide that may cost less than a copay without using the insurance. Insurance companies try everything to avoid paying. If your insurance refuses, your doctor will appeal. You might check RX Advocates. Not sure, but I think it costs 70$ a month. See if your income is in range. They'll tell you on the phone. 70$ is probably lower than the insurance co-pay.
The oral surgeon may not be recommending implants because she doesn't do them. It requires special training. She may be thinking that you don't have enough bone. This is where the minis come in. They basically have a shorter anchor. Some say they don't last as long, but I've seen where they last 30 years in a low bone jaw.

It's hard to ask question with your mouth full of tools. Are you having nitrous oxide.

Lala land is getting better ..3rd day already..quick question: I’m not sure whether when I reply to you, it is better for you and me just for me to hit only reply. A few times I pressed reply and also posted…not sure if theirs a protocol. Is it okay to just hit reply as I’m focusing on speaking to you now. I’m not needing a wider audience as I did that that and got responses. S.
PS: I wondered what you thought as I wrote down the strict doc’s latest opinion. Not such good news for me.
PS: The surgeon only does surgery..meaning no implants..( she said I’d hate to see you in implants. ( why ? I’ll try to ask…she may have seen something weak in my tooth bones) My basic dentist does do partial’s and he does also does the flexible partials that are supposed to be well, more flexible and comfortable according to ONE article I managed to read. Minis! Never knew…went to one who said he could maybe do a bone graft of some kind..as my one bone we were discussing didn’t quite make the green light…and it will be more $$ too. He thought partials and so did the everyday dentist.
