Answers:
RCT= root canal treatment
The next three describe tooth surfaces, so they are most likely talking about fillings..
DL=distal lingual (back side and tongue side of tooth)
DO=distal occlusal (back side and biting surface of tooth)
MO=mesial occlusal (front side and biting surface of tooth)
UL=Upper left
LL=Lower left
PFM=porcelain fused to metal (metal crown with tooth colored porcelain over the top to look natural)
Best insurances will cover a lot on cleanings (prophylaxis) or anything preventative and have a smaller deductible..Health Question & Answer
