Medicare is a health insurance program for people aged 65 or older, as well as certain younger people with disabilities. Medicare Part B covers medically necessary services, including some dental services. Not all dentists accept Medicare, so it is important to check with your dentist before you make an appointment. You can also use the Medicare website to find a dentist who accepts Medicare in your area.
There are many benefits to seeing a dentist who accepts Medicare. First, you will not have to pay a deductible for covered services. Second, Medicare will pay 80% of the cost of covered services, and you will only be responsible for paying the remaining 20%. Third, you will have access to a wider range of dental services, including preventive care, fillings, crowns, and dentures.
