<P><B>Yes</B>, <B><U>if</U> you itemize deductions</B> (<A href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901553-what-is-schedule-a" target="_blank">Schedule A</A>) you can deduct <B>qualifying out-of-pocket dental expenses and dental insurance premiums</B> (but only if the insurance premiums were paid with after-tax dollars). Most dental treatments qualify for the deduction, although teeth-whitening does not. (See <A href="https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p502.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">IRS Pub 502: Medical and Dental Expenses</A> for more information.)</P><P>The deduction for medical/dental expenses is limited to expenses that exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income (AGI). See the FAQs below for more information.</P><P>
