What has Medicaid already done for US oral health?

For Children

Statistically, the percentage of children and adolescents aged 1 to 20 who are enrolled in Medicaid for at least 90 consecutive days receiving dental services is also slowly increasing between 2000 and 2020. What is even more encouraging is that preventive dental services account for a much higher percentage than oral treatment, which somehow indicates that people are taking their oral health more seriously with the help of Medicaid.
