D1500

D1500 is a diagnostic code used by healthcare providers to identify a specific dental issue: loss of a tooth or teeth. It indicates that a tooth has been extracted or is missing, often requiring replacement via prosthetic options like a denture or implant. This code helps in categorizing and documenting oral health conditions for treatment planning and insurance purposes. Essentially, D1500 communicates that a patient has a missing tooth, guiding appropriate restorative care.
