Is Toothpaste FSA/HSA eligible?

Not eligible

No. Toothpaste is not FSA or HSA eligible, because it is a general personal hygiene product.

A prescription or medicated dental product may qualify with a Letter of Medical Necessity.

Why

What the IRS rules say

The IRS excludes items that are for general health or personal hygiene rather than the treatment of a specific medical condition. Everyday toothpaste, toothbrushes, and mouthwash fall in that category, even when marketed as healthy.

Based on IRS Publication 502.

What about prescription-strength or medicated dental products?
