Medicaid Covers Dental Emergencies

toothache Although Medicaid coverage for dental care for adults is limited, Medicaid will cover an emergency exam, an x-ray and extraction (for pain and/or infection). If you've been putting off dealing with a toothache because you thought you couldn't afford the bills, and if you are a Families First Health Center patient with Medicaid coverage, call 603-422-8208 ext. 3 and let our Dental Center take care of you. For treatment not covered by insurance, we offer a sliding fee scale.
