What Children's Medicaid covers

Texas Health Steps provides dental care for Medicaid-eligible children and young adults from birth through age 20. Covered care includes:

Checkups, cleanings and fluoride treatments every six months
X-rays
Fillings, crowns and root canals
Tooth extractions and other medically necessary treatment

Cosmetic treatment is not covered. We check your child’s eligibility before the visit so there are no surprises.

CHIP dental coverage

Children enrolled in CHIP also have dental benefits for exams, cleanings, fluoride, X-rays, fillings, crowns, root canals and extractions. CHIP dental does not cover braces or IV or conscious sedation, and some CHIP families have small copays depending on income. We will explain any cost before treatment begins.

Dental care for adults with Medicaid

Texas Medicaid dental benefits for adults are more limited and depend on your health plan. Adults in STAR+PLUS may have coverage for emergency treatment, care for injuries, routine dental care and dentures, and some health plans offer extra dental benefits as value-added services. Bring your Medicaid card and health plan ID, and our front desk will check exactly what your plan covers.
