Medicare covers certain types of dental services. Although it won’t cover the costs of dental services that aren’t included in your health plan, it will often pay for initial or follow-up dental care after you’ve treated an underlying health condition. For example, Medicare will cover dental extraction as part of facial surgery, but it won’t cover any subsequent dental care you need afterward. However, Medicare does not cover dental supplies, so it’s best to find other ways to pay for dental care.
