Does Medicare cover dental surgery? Not Medicaid, only Medicare and 2ndary insurance.?

I bit something and one of my back teeth broke. The dentist says he can't pull it and I need dental surgery. My secondary insurance says it will pay dental for "accidents to natural teeth", and I think this is an accident. I can't afford to have it capped, or pay for surgery myself.
--------------------
Medicare does not pay for dental and if it isn't approved by Medicare then your secondary insurance will not pay either. It is too late now for this incident, but it sounds like you might need a separate dental policy that covers cleanings, exams, extractions, crowns, etc.
