Yes, be very careful here. Sometimes oral surgery is covered in part by both. For instance, if there's an extraction that requires sedation the dental won't cover but the medical insurance usually will, assuming there's a valid medical condition. Of course, they won't give a clear ruling in advance and the details are in the fine print while all you usually have is a plan summary.
Another scenario, your kid needs sedation which is only covered by medical yet your health insurance doesn't cover it when administered by an oral surgeon.
I got screwed this way.
Ask a lot of questions and document everything going in.
