Good News! New Medicaid Adult Dental Services
On April 1, 2007, the Medicaid program began providing dental coverage for adults up to a total limit of $1,150 per year for dental care, such as exams and cleanings. This new coverage also includes fillings, crowns, root canals and dentures.
Medicaid still covers adult dental services for emergency pain relief and acute infection. These emergency dental services do not count against the annual limit.
