How To Use Medicaid For Low-Income Dental Care?

Medicaid Dental For Children

It is mandatory for the government to provide dental help for children from low-income families. All states are required to provide dental benefits to children covered by Medicaid.

Such benefits are listed under the EPSDT (the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment) benefit. So, if a child has Medicaid dental insurance, it means these services are covered:

• Pain relief and infection treatment
• Tooth restoration
• Dental health maintenance
• Any service that is determined to be medically necessary
