@dadcue - how did your dentist make that request for your dental insurance to approve frequent visits because of medical reasons? What should we tell our dentist to accomplish this?

I don't know exactly. I had a Delta Dental plan that covered cleanings and "preventative care" every 6 months. Apparently my plan had a provision for cleanings every 3 months for certain medical conditions. My dentist asked me about my medical conditions but we never discussed the details. I wouldn't have said I had PMR but she knew I was on Prednisone.
