Medicaid is a government-funded health insurance program for low-income individuals and families. It provides coverage for a wide range of medical services, including dental care. However, there may be a waiting period before you can receive dental care after you enroll in Medicaid.
The waiting period for dental care varies from state to state. In some states, there is no waiting period. In other states, the waiting period can be up to six months. If you need dental care during the waiting period, you may be able to get it through a community health center or a sliding-fee scale clinic.
