Does Medi-Share Cover Dental?
No. Medi-Share does not share routine dental costs. Cleanings, fillings, crowns, root canals, and braces are out of pocket at every membership level. Only needs that cross into medical care, such as an infection requiring hospital treatment, qualify for sharing.

Medi-Share's low monthly shares exist partly because dental, like vision and maintenance drugs, sits outside the sharing pool. Here is the honest picture for your teeth.
What Is and Isn't Shared
| Cleanings and exams | Not shared |
| Fillings, crowns, root canals | Not shared |
| Braces and aligners | Not shared |
| Medical needs from an accident or infection | Shareable as an eligible need after your AHP |
The Cash-Pay Advantage
Without a dental claim process in the middle, you negotiate directly. Ask for self-pay rates, compare offices, and consider a discount membership for routine work. Families with kids in braces should budget the full orthodontia cost as its own line item, because nothing in any health share will touch it.

Medical side still matters most: Medi-Share is the largest Christian health share (400,000+ members since 1993), roughly $115–$470/mo, no annual or lifetime cap, on the 900,000+ provider PHCS + First Health PPO.
The Bottom Line
No health share covers dental well, Medi-Share included. Pick it on the strength of its medical sharing record instead. Read our full Medi-Share review and see how every plan handles dental.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Medi-Share share dental expenses?
No. Routine dental care isn't among Medi-Share's shareable categories. Cleanings, fillings, crowns, root canals, and orthodontia are member-paid.
Is any dental-adjacent care shareable?
Yes, when the need crosses into medical care. An accident affecting the mouth, or an infection requiring hospital-level treatment, can be shared as an eligible medical need. Standard dental work around it isn't.
Do members get any dental discounts?
Medi-Share's member benefits have historically included discount access rather than sharing for dental. Treat discounts as a price break, not coverage. Verify current benefit details before enrolling.
