CMT feet can look normal or have high arches, flat feet, etc. As far as DNA blood testing it would be done by a place such as Athena Diagnostics. They do testing for many conditions.

It would not be an ordinary blood test done at the doctor's office.
As far as your teeth getting loose and having to be pulled there must be some other reason for that. As you may know Charcot-Marie-Tooth Syndrome is not a tooth disease. Also, you mentioned in another post that your feet were numb and then for about five minutes you could feel. That does not happen with CMT. Symptoms do not get better. For example your feet would not feel better for a period of time after being numb. Also, your symptoms seem to have come on fast. That really does not fit the profile of CMT either. And no one else in the family with similar symptoms doesn't fit either unless their symptoms are not that obvious. CMT is a complicated syndrome.
Something else must be going on. I wish you well. Hope you find an answer.
