CHIP/Medicaid

Medicaid/CHIP Coverage Availability & Fees

Visiting the dentist is an investment in your oral health and your quality of life. Routine care allows us to prevent certain issues from developing, like tooth decay and gum disease. It also allows your dentist to monitor your oral health to detect problems early. As a result, you lessen the need for an invasive treatment in the future to lower your overall dental expenses. In fact, research shows every $1 spent on prevention reduces your restorative and emergency dental costs by $8 to $50.

Medicaid/CHIP understands dental health is important to a person’s overall health. The state is required to provide dental coverage to children enrolled in Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). This allows children to get the care they need to keep their smile healthy. Medicaid provides coverage for services that are necessary to prevent oral disease or to promote oral health and function. It also provides coverage for emergency conditions for children.

Now, your child can get the comprehensive care they need to keep their teeth and gums healthy. Routine appointments with your dentist in Dallas ensure the health and development of your child’s smile as they grow. There is some flexibility for adults who need dental benefits, such as emergency services.
