Medicare Dental Coverage — What You Need to Know

|---|---|---|
| Routine dental exams | ✗ Not covered | ✓ Often covered |
| Teeth cleaning / X-rays | ✗ Not covered | ✓ Often covered (preventive) |

Advantage plans advertise dental benefits but the actual coverage varies enormously. Some plans cover only preventive services with a $1,000 annual limit. Others cover major services up to $3,000 or more. Brian looks at the actual Schedule of Benefits for every plan — not just whether dental is listed.
