The appellate court affirms the order requiring the employer/carrier to provide dental care under section 440.25(4)(h) of the Florida Statutes, determining that there is competent, substantial evidence supporting the finding that the claimant's dental condition was an emergency. The court also addresses the appellants' challenge regarding the judge of compensation claims’ indication that he would consider a motion for reconsideration concerning Dr. Daffin’s authorization if treatment is not provided within 30 days. The court finds this argument premature and declines to address it at this time. Judges Barfield, Ervin, and Kahn concur with the decision.
