Medicaid is a government-funded health insurance program that provides health coverage to low-income individuals and families. Dental care is an important part of overall health, and Medicaid covers a wide range of dental services, including preventive care, restorative care, and oral surgery.
The availability of Medicaid dental coverage varies from state to state. In some states, all Medicaid recipients have access to dental coverage. In other states, only certain groups of Medicaid recipients, such as children and pregnant women, have access to dental coverage. Additionally, the types of dental services that are covered by Medicaid vary from state to state.
