That fits fine for things like cleanings, cavities, and implants - but what about impacted wisdom teeth and resultant issues? Broken teeth due to impact injuries? Even people with excellent dental hygiene have a decent chance of chipping a tooth, and even those types of things aren't covered under medical insurance.

I believe injury-related dental issues are covered by medical insurance. At least that was the impression I had from reading through my latest insurance policy from United Healthcare.
