Medicaid generally will take care of all necessary medical, dental, and visual needs. No one but the Dentist with the xrays has the answer to "how" he will treat the condition of your teeth. Can't even speculate. Good Luck.

depending on your dentist, they will either fix them depending on the severity of the problem or they may pull the bad ones and fix the okay ones, when i was on medicaid and i had a cavity that should have been able to be fixed it got pulled another tooth i went to a different dentist and they fixed it. some dont like to deal with medicaid and would rather just pull it, hope this helps and good luck to you

depending where you live your medicaid might cover, if not find a dental clinic or dental school and they can usually do the work either free or cheap on a sliding scale........if you have an abscess you can call your regular doctor in the meantime and have them prescribe antibiotics because they usually can't do dental work with a bad infection anyway, and the Doctor may give you something for the pain until the antibiotics kick in

Medicad will only pay for teeth to be pulled. I had one cavity in one of my of my fang teeth at the gum and they fixed that one.
