Whether a health fund covers your dental sedation often depends on the type of sedatives you have and your insurance plan. Generally, most companies classify sedation dentistry as a luxury or an optional procedure. They may only provide dental cover if it’s determined as medically necessary. For instance, for patients with a medical condition or a disability that makes it impossible to sit still in a dental chair. We suggest checking your level of dental cover with your preferred provider to determine what, if any, cover you have for sedation dentistry.
