Quick Reference
The IRS defines medical care as amounts paid for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or for the purpose of affecting any structure or function of the body. Oral surgery, when performed by a licensed dental professional to treat a medical condition, falls under this definition.
When It Qualifies
- •The oral surgery must be for medical care, such as treating a disease, injury, or congenital abnormality.
- •It must be performed by a licensed dental or medical professional.
When It Doesn't
- •Oral surgery performed solely for cosmetic reasons is generally not eligible, unless it is necessary to improve a deformity related to a congenital abnormality, a personal injury, or a disfiguring disease.
