Share of Cost, Dental Insurance for Seniors on Medicare
As you may already know, dental coverage is not typically coverage, in your basic medicare. Original Medicare (Part A for hospital coverage and Part B for medical coverage) generally does not include routine dental coverage, such as dental exams, cleaning’s, fillings, crowns, and bridges. There are, however, some exceptions to this rule.
You may be able to get dental coverage under some Medicare Advantage plans. Medicare Advantage plans (Medicare Part C) can include extra benefits like routine dental, routine vision, and Medicare prescription drug coverage.
