Problems with teeth, requires surgery. will health insurance pay?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Most health insurance does not cover dental procedures. If you have separate dental insurance, it is likely covered to a certain degree. Read your policy, check your insurance's website, call your insurance company, or check with the oral surgeon's office for more information. Good luck!

Usually not: Health insurance usually excludes teeth - need dental insurance, but check with your plan adminsitrator - there are some exceptions.
