Is health insurance also considered dental insurance?

Health insurance typically does not include dental coverage. Dental coverage is a distinct type of insurance that specifically covers dental care and treatments, such as preventive care, tooth restoration, and orthodontic services. Some individuals may have health insurance plans that include limited dental benefits, but it is not a standard feature of health insurance. For comprehensive dental coverage, it is usually necessary to purchase a separate dental insurance plan or a policy that combines health and dental coverage.
