Medical expenses for dependent

My 26 year-old daughter lives with me and I claim her as a dependent for tax purposes because she lives with me in my home and I pay virtually 100 percent of her support. When I itemize deductions, am I permitted to include her medical and dental expenses on my itemization form? Also, is there a legally allowable deduction for the premiums I pay for her medical health insurance?

Being 26, I assume she's disabled, otherwise she's too old to qualify as a dependent. Based on this, I think you'd be able to deduct some of her medical and insurance expenses: http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc502.html
