My general dentist made my flouride trays. As expected, they were not covered by my dental insurance. Because my oncologist asked for them, I thought my Aetna POS medical insurance would cover them, but 3 different reps told me no. Is that the norm?

Also has anyone had luck getting medical coverage to pay for the additional teeth cleanings that have been recommended? My oncologist told me to go 3 times a year. My dental insurance will cover 2 times.
