The World Trade Center Health Program (WTCHP) does not provide stand-alone coverage for routine dental care. However, it does cover dental treatment when the care is medically necessary and related to a certified 9/11-related health condition—most often when dental complications arise from cancer or its treatment. Because of this distinction, dental benefits under the WTCHP can be confusing: cleanings, fillings, and routine dental work are not covered, but dental procedures that are part of treating or managing a certified cancer or its side effects may be eligible.
