Although dental coverage is not available as a stand-alone product, some of the more comprehensive insurance plans include routine dental treatment up to certain limits and a maximum number of visits to the dentist. Some insurance plans offer dental coverage at additional premiums. Most dental insurance plans provide coverage for all kinds of dental treatments except for cosmetic treatments.
