   Routine dental checkups, cleanings, dental x-rays, crowns, etc. are not covered under original Medicare (parts A & B). You would need to buy a separate dental insurance plan to cover these benefits.
   
   If you have a medically necessary procedure completed in a hospital such as the repair of a broken jaw, then Medicare would cover it because it was an emergency situation.
   
   I hope the information is helpful - please feel free to contact me for assistance and if you have any other questions. Thanks very much.
