Although dental care is rarely covered under Original Medicare Parts A and B, many Medicare
Advantage, or Medicare Part C, plans include some sort of dental coverage. These plans are offered

By law, they are required to offer the same level of coverage as Original Medicare, but they can usually offer additional coverage for other healthcare needs as well. With a Medicare Advantage Plan, exact benefits and the price of your plan can vary, but dental needs such as those described above are usually covered in some form.
