Medicaid and dental coverage

Medicaid, a joint federal and state program that provides health coverage for low-income individuals, usually includes dental benefits for adults. However, coverage can vary by state, and not all dental services may be covered.

Seniors who qualify for Medicaid may be eligible for certain dental services, such as preventive care, fillings, and extractions.

It is important for seniors to understand the dental coverage provided by their state's Medicaid program and how to access the services.
