Is dentures & denture adhesives FSA eligible?
FSA & HSA eligible
Yes — dentures and denture adhesives are FSA and HSA eligible.
Dentures are listed in IRS Publication 502, and the adhesives needed to use them qualify as supplies. Daily cleansing tablets sit closer to general hygiene — some administrators pay, some don't, so check before stocking up on those.
How to pay for it
- Tap your FSA/HSA debit card at checkout — most pharmacies, optical shops, and many online retailers take it directly.
- Buying online? FSA-only stores pre-filter their catalog to qualified items, so nothing in your cart bounces at checkout.
- No card on hand? Pay out of pocket and file a claim with your administrator — just keep the itemized receipt (a photo is fine).
Does the same answer apply to an HSA?
Yes. FSAs and HSAs share the same qualified-medical-expense rules (IRS Publication 502), so eligibility is identical. The difference is the deadline: FSA money is forfeited at the end of the plan year, while HSA money never expires.
