   Medicare does not cover the majority of dental treatment such as cleanings , X-Rays, wisdom teeth removal, extractions etc… However, if treatment is medically necessary (such as hospitalization), it is treated differently.

   However, there some Medicare Advantage plans that will provide benefits. Vision benefits may also be included. Discussing your options with an experienced broker or visiting a reputable national website will often help you understand which plans are best for your specific situation.

   You can also purchase a separate dental policy since many of the large health insurers offer coverage. There are also dental “discount” plans that are rather limited in coverage but relatively inexpensive.
