medicaid: what benefits are there for dentistry and braces?

Answer 1

-Don't know what state you are in. Here only covers regular cleanings & check-ups, fillings (not white in back teeth), extractions (removing teeth), complete upper/lower dentures, and if missing enough teeth a removable partial. Or if missing a front tooth. (you need to check your local medicaid for partial coverage)
- No coverage for crowns, root canals, scaling/root planing (deep cleaning), cosmetic work, braces.
- Check with your state medicaid for info. Or check with a dentist in your area that takes medicaid. They should be able to help you. Although can't tell if you need a 'filling' or something more extensive without seeing you as a patient.
***Not all dentists take medicaid. Here there are very few.

Answer 2

Cleaning and will extract only if you are in immediate pain. No cosmetic dentistry
