Workplace Dental Injury? You May Be Covered Under Workers’ Compensation
If you’ve experienced a dental injury at work—from a fall, blow to the face, or accident involving machinery—you may be eligible for treatment under workers’ compensation. This coverage helps employees receive medical and dental care after a workplace incident without out-of-pocket costs.
What Is Workers’ Compensation for Dental Injuries?
Workers’ compensation is a government-mandated insurance program that covers medical expenses for injuries sustained at work. If your teeth, jaw, or mouth are affected during a workplace accident, you may qualify for workers comp dental treatment.
This includes:
Broken or knocked-out teeth
Jaw fractures or dislocations
TMJ dysfunction caused by trauma
Dental nerve damage
Lacerations or oral soft tissue injuries
Common Workplace Accidents That Lead to Dental Claims:
Slips and falls causing face impact
Falling objects hitting the mouth
Machinery or equipment-related trauma
Motor vehicle accidents while on duty
Physical altercations or assaults at work
What to Do If You’ve Suffered a Dental Injury at Work
Report the injury to your employer immediately.
Seek medical and dental attention as soon as possible.
Request a referral to a dentist for workers compensation or one who handles dental compensation claims.
Submit your workers’ comp claim and follow up on the approval.
Once approved, your dental visits, imaging (X-rays, CBCT), and treatments (such as crowns, splints, or extractions) are typically fully covered under your claim.
