[quote=DentalWriter;83]Most medical policies will pay for services needed due to accidental trauma to natural teeth. There are ICD diagnosis codes for broken and fractured teeth and the dental office can use an additional diagnosis code in the "E" code category to describe the accident. Such as E886.0; FALL ON SAME LEVEL IN SPORTS. Some examples are:
 

    [*]A broken tooth due to a fall while playing soccer
    [*]Missing teeth due to a fall from a ladder
    [*]A fractured tooth due to a slip and fall on a sidewalk
    [*]Many other types of accidents
