No.

The billing codes for medical and dental are completely separate.

Dental codes beginning with the letter D and are followed by 4 or more numbers.

eg. D1110 for an adult prophy/cleaning

Dentists are only allowed to bill for dental treatment with dental codes and not allowed to use medical codes.

Billing with a medical code while performing a dental procedure for which a dental code exists is considered insurance fraud and punishable by law.
