Which type of medical health insurance covers the treatment and care of gum disease?

• A. Gum disease care plan
• B. Orthodontic insurance
• C. Vision insurance
• D. Dental expense insurance

Answer: (D)

Gum disease is a dental issue, so it falls under coverage provided for dental care. Medical health insurance usually excludes routine dental services and relies on dental plans for procedures involving teeth and gums. A dental expense insurance policy is specifically designed to cover dental procedures, including treatment for gum disease, according to the plan’s terms and limits.

The other options aren’t about dental coverage: a gum disease care plan isn’t a standard insurance category; orthodontic insurance covers braces and related orthodontic work; vision insurance covers eye care.

So the best answer is dental expense insurance.
