Healthy Kids Dental

Healthy Kids Dental is a dental benefit program for Medicaid beneficiaries under the age of 21. It covers dental services such as X-rays, cleanings, fillings, root canals, tooth extractions and dentures. Beneficiaries receive treatment from dentists who participate with Delta Dental’s Healthy Kids Dental program, which includes approximately 75 percent of Michigan dentists.

   

On February 1, 2012, the Michigan Department of Community Health expanded the Healthy Kids Dental contract with Delta Dental Plan of Michigan to administer the Healthy Kids Dental benefit in Mason, Muskegon, Newaygo, and Oceana counties. Medicaid beneficiaries under age 21 residing in these counties have been automatically enrolled in Healthy Kids Dental, which provides access to participating Delta Dental dentists. For more information call Delta Dental at 1-800-482-8915 or use one of the links below.
