    Medicare does not cover routine dental services. Services such as checkups, cleanings, fillings, dentures, etc. will be covered by an individual dental insurance plan.

    If you're receiving oral care in a hospital (e.g. surgery to repair a broken jaw, wiring it shut, etc.), Medicare can cover the services provided.

    That is a great question, with an unfortunate answer. Medicare covers a lot of things, but dental isn't one of them. There are many places that you can purchase a dental plan to go with it, but I'd suggest the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) site www.healthcare.gov when open enrollment comes around, as the Act provides those who qualify ( and many do ) discounted insurance coverage. Thanks for asking!
