Use this when the user asks whether Medicare covers dental work (cleanings, fillings, extractions, dentures, implants), what Original Medicare (Part A or Part B) does for teeth, or in which cases Medicare pays toward dental care. Returns the rule as verbatim legal text, each quote with its source URL and retrieval date: the statutory exclusion (Social Security Act 1862(a)(12)), the regulation (42 CFR 411.15(i)) and the medicare.gov coverage page with its narrow exceptions (dental care tied to a hospital admission or to certain covered medical treatments), plus the dated Medicare Advantage open enrollment period, so the answer can quote the rule itself. Medicare Advantage plans for 2027 and their dental limits plan by plan are not yet tracked; for a plan whose figures the user knows, it points to insurance_out_of_pocket. Phrasings: "will Medicare pay for my dentures", "is a tooth extraction covered by Part B", "¿Medicare cubre los implantes dentales?", "¿Medicare paga la limpieza dental?". Do not use for: diagnosis, treatment choice, a named insurer's plan price, dentist recommendations, countries other than the US and Canada. Observed market research with a source URL and period on every figure; not a quote, not medical advice.
