What will Medicare cover [...]]]> Medicare will not cover primary dental health care! Medicare does not pay for routine check-ups, cleanings or fillings. Medicare will cover some dental services if they are required to protect your general health, or if you need dental care in order for another health service that Medicare covers to be successful.

What will Medicare cover then?

*Examinations to determine the presence of gum disease prior to having major surgery.

* Surgery to treat fractures of the face or jaw.

*Examinations to determine the presence of diseases of the jaw, or any oral cancers.

Some Medicare Replacement policies cover routine dental services. Check with your plan to see what may be covered.

A good idea to supplement your overall health care would to purchase a stand alone dental plan. There are both PPO as well as HMO plans that can offer you low cost alternatives to the high cost of dental care. Most have detailed schedules of benefits, so you can see your costs before the procedure is done. These plans are available any time of year, can be purchased annually or month to month, and are extremely affordable.
