Hi Guest!
The diagnosis code(s) will depend on the patient & their condition - basically - what issues with the patient's dentition is the reason the patient receiving these services?
For example, here are some coding options:
• K05.211 - Aggressive periodontitis, localized, slight • K05.212 - Aggressive periodontitis, localized, moderate • K05.213 - Aggressive periodontitis, localized, severe • K05.219 - Aggressive periodontitis, localized, unspecified severity • K05.221 - Aggressive periodontitis, generalized, slight • K05.222 - Aggressive periodontitis, generalized, moderate • K05.223 - Aggressive periodontitis, generalized, severe • K05.229 - Aggressive periodontitis, generalized, unspecified severity • K05.311 - Chronic periodontitis, localized, slight • K05.312 - Chronic periodontitis, localized, moderate • K05.313 - Chronic periodontitis, localized, severe • K05.319 - Chronic periodontitis, localized, unspecified severity • K05.321 - Chronic periodontitis, generalized, slight • K05.322 - Chronic periodontitis, generalized, moderate • K05.323 - Chronic periodontitis, generalized, severe • K05.329 - Chronic periodontitis, generalized, unspecified severity • K05.10 - Chronic gingivitis, plaque induced • K05.11 - Chronic gingivitis, non-plaque induced • K02.3 - Arrested dental caries • K02.51 - Dental caries on pit and fissure surface limited to enamel • K02.52 - Dental caries on pit and fissure surface penetrating into dentin • K02.53 - Dental caries on pit and fissure surface penetrating into pulp • K02.61 - Dental caries on smooth surface limited to enamel • K02.62 - Dental caries on smooth surface penetrating into dentin • K02.63 - Dental caries on smooth surface penetrating into pulp • K02.7 - Dental root caries • K02.9 - Dental caries, unspecified
If these above don't fit the bill for you patient, let me know some details on their condition and I am happy to help you with come additional coding options.
Hope this helps!

Hey! I usually bill medical for sleep but our dental team had a patient who had 21 extractions completed and has medicare. the patient's cardiologist sent over a letter stating extractions were medically necessary. Cardiologists words were "poor dentition represents a health hazard and therefore treatment of his condition is medically necessary" I am trying to find the right ICD - 10 code. Please help Thanks
