Workers' Comp Dental FAQ

  • Will workers' comp cover my dental treatment if I was injured at work?

     Generally speaking, yes—as long as the injury is job-related and properly reported, Maryland workers’ compensation can cover necessary dental treatment.

  • What types of injuries qualify?

    Any trauma to the teeth, gums, or jaw that occurs at work: falls, collisions, accidents with tools or machinery, etc.

  • Can I choose my own dentist for a workers’ comp dental claim?

     In Maryland, workers may be able to choose their own provider. We recommend checking with your employer or claims administrator.

  • What if my employer or insurer delays or denies my claim?

    We can still treat your injury and help you document everything properly. You may need to consult an attorney or your state's Workers’ Compensation Commission.

  • Are cosmetic procedures covered?

     Workers’ comp generally covers only medically necessary treatment—not elective cosmetic procedures. We’ll clarify what’s included before treatment begins.
