🔹 What is covered under the dental plan for cleanings 🔹 Does my student insurance cover dental cleanings 🔹 Are fluoride treatments included in the dental plan 🔹 How much of my cleaning is reimbursed

Yes โ€” the ASU Dental Plan covers a range of preventive dental services, including:

  • ๐Ÿชฅ Routine cleanings

  • ๐Ÿงผ Scaling (removal of plaque and tartar)

  • ๐Ÿฆท Examinations

  • ๐Ÿ’ง Fluoride treatments

  • ๐Ÿ“˜ Oral hygiene instruction

Coverage typically reimburses 80% to 100% of the cost, depending on your dental provider and whether they participate in direct billing. Direct billing means the clinic charges your insurance directly, so you pay less (or nothing) upfront.

๐Ÿ“˜ Helpful Definitions:

  • Scaling: A deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from teeth and gums

  • Direct billing: When your dental clinic bills your insurance provider directly, reducing or eliminating out-of-pocket costs
