Paying for oral health preventive care

Medicaid

If your child is enrolled in Medicaid, your child has dental coverage which includes preventive and restorative care.

Other Coverage

If your child has dental benefits, ask your employer if oral health preventive care is covered. If it isn't, encourage them to provide it as a benefit.

Direct payment

Many dentists and physicians accept direct payment for delivering oral health preventive care.
