Federal and State Programs

The federal government, along with state governments, has implemented various programs to provide free or low-cost dental care to children. One such program is Medicaid, which is a joint federal and state program that provides health coverage to low-income individuals and families. Medicaid includes dental coverage for children, and the services covered can vary by state.

In addition to Medicaid, some states have their own programs specifically designed to provide dental care to children. These programs may include preventive services, such as regular check-ups and cleanings, as well as treatments for dental issues. Eligibility requirements for these state programs can vary, so it is important to check with the specific program requirements in your state.
