Does Medicare Cover Dental?

What Types Of Dental Services Does Medicare Not Cover?

Medicare will not cover dental services you basically went to the hospital for. Some of these dental services Medicare don’t pay for include:

  • Tooth extractions [2]
  • Dental checkups
  • Fillings
  • Teeth cleanings
  • X-rays

These dental services are regular procedures people primarily go to the hospital to receive. You will have to pay for any of these services you receive except if you are covered by a plan other than the original Medicare.
