Children’s Medicaid: How Does It Work?
Children’s Medicaid provides dental coverage for children under 18 years of age. Most plans have annual maximums between $500 and $600. However, even if your child ends up meeting their annual maximum, they can still receive coverage for preventive, diagnostic, and medically necessary services that are approved by their policy.
Dental Services Covered Under Children’s Medicaid
Medicaid members are able to receive the following dental services from a pediatric dentist every year.
- Two checkups and cleanings
- Necessary X-rays
- Fillings, dental crowns, and pulp therapy
- Fluoride treatments
- Tooth extractions
- Other medically necessary procedures
Prevention Is the Key to a Healthy Smile
The key to a healthy smile and to avoid needing invasive dental treatments is to keep up with your child’s cleanings and checkups every six months. By bringing young children to the dentist early, you can encourage them to build up healthy oral habits and set their smiles up for success!
