Is pulling of wisdom teeth medical or dental insurance?



My sister's wisdom teeth, eight years ago, were covered under medical. Today, my dentist is telling me it's covered under dental. There's a BIG difference in the copay!!!

If it is done by a general dentist then it's paid for by dental insurance. If it is done by an oral surgeon then depending on your policy it can be covered by either medical or dental insurance.... call your insurance company for details. Source(s): Dental Instructor

When it has to do with teeth it is dental. It's easy to remeber....dentist=dental Medical doctor= medical

it could be medical but it is probably dental since it involves the mouth area and teeth.
It depends on your personal coverage.

It generally falls under Dental, especially if you are having them removed simply to have them removed. If they are infected or require some type of jawline or other surgery, then it may fall under medical coverage.

The best way to determine this is to contact your insurance provider and give them all the details of the procedure.
