including dental cleaning
What are the recommended guidelinesfor dental procedures?
If you're referring to Insurance Companies' recommended guidelines, they are as follows:
Check-ups, including exams and cleanings: twice a year, 6 months to the day or later.. if you went on 12/20 and then your next one is scheduled for 6/19, it won't be covered. This goes for fluoride treatments as well.
Xrays: A full set, once every 5-7 years, bitewings, annually.
Fillings: no guidelines, they are done when needed. The same goes for root canals and extractions.
Crowns/Bridges/Dentures: Every insurance company has their own guideline on this one... better to contact them directly....
Hope this helped... and if it's not even remotely close to what you're looking for, I apologize, but it's the first thing that popped into my head when I saw your question!
