Hello Dr. Hall,
\nI was wondering if you can tell me if medical insurance would cover the treatment of my teeth from tetracycline damage? My teeth are very weak and sensitive. I am afraid to bite into anything because I have chipped my front teeth before and I was hoping that because my teeth were damaged due to tetracycline to treat multiple infections due to asthma when I was a child. Please advise.
\nThanks

Dear Jessica,
\nIt would sound reasonable that medical insurance would cover treating the side effects of a medical treatment like tetracycline teeth\u00a0stains<\/a>. But in reality, the medical policies usually list exclusions of any dental work. I have not heard of a case of medical insurance helping to pay for any treatment of tetracycline teeth stains.<\/p>\n

But if you want to get a more authoritative answer as regards to your particular medical plan,\u00a0I would call the insurance company\u00a0and ask.
\n– Dr. Hall<\/p>\n
