Here are some dental services that Medi-Cal provides:

  • Diagnostic and preventive dental care (such as checkups, x-rays and teeth cleanings).

How to Use Your Dental Benefits

Using your dental benefits is easy. To get started:

  • Call Medi-Cal Dental at 1.800.322.6384 to confirm you're eligible for dental benefits. If you use a TTY, call 1.800.735.2922.
  • Find an approved dental care provider near you. Or ask a Medi-Cal Dental associate to recommend one to you when you call to confirm eligibility.
  • Call the dental provider's office to make an appointment. Be sure to ask if they're taking new Medi-Cal patients.

Why Dental Care Matters

Regular dental checkups can help keep your teeth healthy, which helps you and your children avoid cavities and gum disease. Even babies should see a dentist as soon as their first tooth comes in.

Here are some other tips to keep your teeth healthy:

  • Brush them twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste.
  • Replace your toothbrush every three or four months.
  • Floss your teeth after brushing them.
  • Limit juices and sugary drinks and snacks.
  • Ask the dentist for a sealant or fluoride varnish to protect against tooth decay.
