Is Teeth Replacement Covered By Medical Insurance?

Hello, I had a question in regards to the possibility of my medical insurance covering dental implants. I'm 38 years ols and at one time, I had beautiful teeth. i take care of my teeth as best as i can but have lost several teeth. When i was a teenager and i was in a car accident and had to have three teeth crowned and my front tooth was chipped so he repaired it as well. Many years later, i decided to have weight loss surgery, well i have lost 170 lbs but in the process lost teeth from continuasly vomiting. So now, either my teeth are gone or truly should be replaced. I'm so fearful of losing anymore teeth. I used to have a beautiful smile and now i fear being in public and smiling. Do You know if medical would ever assist in this matter?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, do take care of your teeth by brushing , use mouthwash chlorhexidine twice daily.

You should visit dentist and go for replacement of teeth by bridge or by implant if you can afford or removable denture .

Hope this will help you.

Wishing you good health.
