Can wisdom teeth be reimbursed by medical insurance?
As the saying goes, "toothache is not a disease, it hurts like hell", and many people will encounter dental problems. Toothache is not only uncomfortable, but also "expensive dental care" has become a "pain" in people's hearts.

Basic treatments such as general dental care and tooth washing and filling are not expensive, ranging from tens to hundreds of yuan. However, if the tooth problem is serious, it will cost at least a thousand yuan to pull out a tooth if it goes to root canal treatment.

Reimbursable range

In China, dentistry has very strict reimbursement regulations. If it is a therapeutic dental treatment, it is within the scope of medical insurance reimbursement.

What has been included in the scope of medical insurance is mainly the cost of tooth filling (basic materials and treatment fees), tooth extraction, periodontal disease treatment, gingivitis and root canal treatment.

Like the common wisdom tooth extraction, it belongs to the scope of medical insurance card reimbursement and can be paid by medical insurance fund.

Non-reimbursable scope

If it is in the field of tooth restoration and whitening, such as tooth inlay, porcelain restoration, orthodontics, tooth implantation, tooth whitening and so on. In China's medical field, it is listed as a medical beauty repair project and can only be reimbursed by medical insurance at its own expense.

For example, the relatively high cost of dental implants is mainly the cost of materials, such as porcelain teeth and dental implants. These expenses are usually approved by the price department and belong to special service expenses, which cannot be reimbursed by medical insurance.
