Are dental sealants covered by dental insurance companies?
As a way of helping to make you aware of the benefits of this procedure, you might be interested to learn that many dental insurance policies do cover tooth sealants. Insurance companies rely on their “bean counters” to statistically determine what their projected claims costs will be. Since dental sealants are an effective means by which to reduce tooth decay, and therefore the need for fillings, dental insurance companies realize that if they do provide coverage for dental sealants it will save them money in the long run. If you are covered by a dental insurance policy which does provide coverage for dental sealants you still must examine the policy. Some policies will only provide for this procedure for certain teeth, and only when the patient falls within a certain age group.
