Can I use medical insurance for filling my teeth?

You can't use medical insurance for filling teeth.

Surgery in stomatology is mostly out-patient, and hospitalization medical insurance can't start reimbursement. The materials for filling teeth are mostly imported resin, so it is difficult to use the money in the medical insurance card, and patients need to pay in cash for filling teeth. The cost of filling teeth varies according to the choice of filling materials, ranging from 150-450 yuan, even as good as 900 yuan. Moreover, the more expensive the materials, the less likely the medical insurance is to be balanced, because imported materials are not included in the treatment scope.

Before filling the teeth, the dentist will conduct a comprehensive examination of the patient's oral cavity, make a comprehensive understanding of the patient's oral health and make appropriate treatment, and formulate the best filling and restoration plan according to the number, treatment site and pathological degree of the patient's dental caries.

Precautions before filling teeth:

1. Dental filling and restoration should be timely and early, which can effectively prevent the further development of dental caries. Early dental filling and restoration has short course of treatment, low cost and good effect;

2. Choose a regular professional dental institution for filling teeth. Formal and professional dental institutions have sophisticated equipment and experienced doctors, which are disinfected one by one in strict accordance with dental equipment to ensure the exact curative effect of filling teeth;

The dentist will make a comprehensive examination of the patient's mouth. If you have inflammation and other related diseases in your mouth, you need standardized treatment. At the same time, the dentist will make the best filling and restoration plan according to the number and location of dental caries and the degree of dental caries.

4. The choice of filling materials should be based on the specific situation of dental caries and other comprehensive factors.
