Do insurance companies pay for dental fees up front for accidents

I was eating at Cracker Barrel in North Carolina. While eating the pinto beans bit into something hard and heard a crunch. Taking it out of my mouth it was a ham bone, maybe 1 1/2 to 2 inches round. I broke 2 teeth and I think I cracked one. I am on a fixed income and have no cash to go to dentist. Will their insurance pay for this up front. Thanks

It is unlikely that the insurance company for Cracker Barrel will pay for the dentist up front;however, you should ask that particular insurance company.
You can still go to a dentist by finding a dentist who will take the case on a lien basis.  This means the dentist is paid out of the settlement of the case.
