What is Denti-Cal?

It’s important to maintain proper oral and dental health — especially when it comes to our children. But dental care can be expensive. That’s where Denti-Cal comes in.

Denti-Cal is a special program within California’s Medicaid program (known as Medi-Cal) that makes important dental services affordable and accessible to everyone who needs them. Denti-Cal is financed by the State of California and the federal government, and operates as a public health insurance program to provide health care services for those who need it most. The many benefits offered through Denti-Cal can help with taking good care of you and your children’s precious teeth and gums.

Denti-Cal covers many dental services, including:

EExaminations, x-rays, and teeth cleanings
EEmergency services for pain relief
ETooth extractions
EFluoride treatments
EDental fillings
ERoot canal treatments
EPeriodontal maintenance
EComplete and partial dentures
EOrthodontics (for children)
