How come dentistry is not covered by health insurance? I mean real health insurance, not the ones where a cap still cost $300 to the person in the chare. What I mean is have the dental work done and there is a $15 copay just like when I see my nuero.

I asked this of my insurance and they told me because denistry is considered "cosmetic" and not medical. Yet the dentist is called a "doctor" he does pescribe meds, he does tell us if we dont take care of our teeth we will have all kinds of medical problems, so why cant I see a dentist and pay a $15 copay.

I have MS, my neuro's time is worth the same as any dentist, she pescribes meds, she is called a doctor. What's up with that?
