The medical insurance card can reimburse the cost of going to the dentist, but there are strict regulations on the reimbursement of dental expenses. Only therapeutic dental treatment can be reimbursed by medical insurance, such as filling teeth, extracting teeth and treating periodontal disease and gingivitis. However, medical beauty projects cannot be reimbursed by medical insurance cards, such as expenses incurred by orthodontics and tooth whitening.
Can dentistry be covered by medical insurance?
1, most cities can use medical insurance for dental treatment and tooth extraction, but some cities cannot use medical insurance for special tooth extraction in hospitals. You can't use medical insurance for orthodontics in outpatient department. For restorative treatment, that is, when using dental implants after tooth defects, some people can use medical insurance, while others can't. It depends on different cities and different types of dental implants. Generally speaking, dental implants cannot be covered by medical insurance, but some cities have medical insurance and some projects need medical insurance.
2. You can use the medical insurance card to pay for most dental projects, such as tooth cleaning, periodontal scaling, filling with common materials, root canal therapy, microtherapy, tooth extraction, local infiltration anesthesia, nerve block anesthesia or dental movies. The medical insurance card can also be used for models, general dental implants, restorative treatment, etc. Individual special materials, or expensive imported fillings, or dental implants, orthodontic treatment, etc. You can't use a medical insurance card for treatment, you can only pay for it at your own expense. Second, is there anyone in the hospital dentistry at night?
There is no dentistry in the emergency room at night. The most common cause of toothache is pulpitis, which is mainly manifested as spontaneous paroxysmal pain. At night, the pain can't find its own position, and the hot pain and cold pain are alleviated. The pulp cavity is a closed tissue, and once the infection is irreversible, root canal therapy must be carried out. I suggest you develop good oral hygiene habits and brush your teeth on time.
