Limitations of Medicaid Dental Coverage for Seniors

While Medicaid dental coverage for seniors offers many benefits, it does have some limitations:

• Restricted Provider Choices: Not all dentists accept Medicaid, so seniors may have limited options when it comes to choosing a dentist.
• Waiting Periods: Some states may have waiting periods for certain dental treatments, which may delay access to necessary care.
• Limited Coverage for Orthodontics: Medicaid dental coverage for seniors may not cover orthodontic treatments like braces, which can be important for seniors with misaligned teeth or jaw issues.
