Since it appears that the problem is a natural progression of the initial injury [like having a hip injury that requires a replacement hip which after ten years wears out so a new hip joint is needed] you should be covered. Contact the WC carrier yo dealt with before, sending them a letter from your current dentist as to why the two problems are related to the old injury. I presume there was no settlement of the entire case or medical care.
