When Is a Tooth Extraction Covered by Medicaid?

North Carolina Medicaid covers extractions when they are medically necessary — not cosmetic. That typically includes:

Severe decay or infection that cannot be restored

Abscessed teeth or teeth with failed root canals

Impacted teeth, including some wisdom teeth

Fractured teeth that cannot be repaired

Orthodontic-related extractions when prescribed

Pre-prosthetic extractions (prior to dentures or partials)

We work directly with Medicaid to ensure coverage is confirmed before any procedure, so there are no surprises.
