Your Medicaid dental coverage

Child smiles as she listens to a dental healthcare provider.

Part of being healthy is oral health care. Problems with your teeth can affect your overall health. Tooth problems can cause problems like:

    Not being able to bite and chew food

    Missing school or work because of pain

    Having trouble speaking, especially if you have unhealthy teeth

Regular visits with your dentist can help prevent problems before they develop. If you have problems with your teeth or gums, a dentist can diagnose and treat you.

Medicaid recipients in Florida can pick from three statewide dental plans:1

DentaQuest (888-468-5509)

LIBERTY (833-276-0850)

MCNA Dental (1-855-699-6262)

To pick or change a dental plan:

Go to FLMedicaidManagedCare

Call 877-711-3662 to speak with a Florida Medicaid Choice Counselor

Once enrolled in a plan, the plan itself can help you:

Choose or change your dentist

Find out if a service is covered

Get referrals

Find a provider

Replace a lost dental ID card

Explain any changes that may affect your dental benefits

Once you pick a dental plan, your dental plan will send you a dental ID card. This ID card will not come with your health plan member ID card. Your Florida Medicaid Choice Counselor or the dental plan you pick can talk to you more about when to expect your dental ID card to come in the mail.
