“Medicare covers my dental cleanings, fillings and dentures.”
True or false?
Correct!
Not quite.
Original Medicare does not pay for routine dental care, including cleanings, fillings, extractions and dentures. It also leaves out hearing aids and eye exams for glasses. It pays for dental services only in narrow cases tied to other covered medical treatment. Many Medicare Advantage plans add dental benefits, usually with a yearly dollar limit worth reading closely.
