I broke two front teeth and had a wisdom tooth knocked loose and later extracted in a fall at work. Workman’s comp insurance is supposed to pay for it all (many thousands of $$$) but so far they’ve balked for the last eight months. Meanwhile my dentist has eaten the entire cost. Workman’s comp insurance treats people only through preferred providers, but they have no preferred dentists or oral surgeons so it’s a bit of a grey area.
Teeth are never covered by health insurance as far as I know, unless the cause was an accident.

Which is insane, btw. Teeth are the beginning of the digestive tract, relatively exposed to the elements, and you only get one adult set.
