@pamelaaci I hope the dentist can make him a good one. That seems to help with drinking. Did he have an incision on his neck or just with a scope down his throat? It helps to have teeth to attach the device to but they can make pretty fake ones. Yes, hopefully medicare will cover it. Be sure to ask if they file medical at the dentist. Or if you have a good dental plan with your Medicare, that might kick in. Glad to know that his recovery was good but sorry about drinking. Hope you are coping with all of this!
