Need a Dentist that Covers Denti-Cal?
Have you been putting off going to the dentist? Perhaps you recently became a beneficiary of Medi-Cal and it has been difficult to locate a dental office near you that accepts Denti-Cal. You are not alone! However, here at The Escondido Dental Group, we are happy to say that we now accept Denti-Cal! We are committed to making professional oral health care available to as many as possible. Therefore, we have opened our doors to this new opportunity.
What Does My Plan Cover?
If you are a Medi-Cal beneficiary, what treatments can you expect to be covered? Here is a list according to the California Department of Healthcare Services:
· Diagnostic and preventive dental hygiene (e.g. examinations, x-rays, and teeth cleanings);
· Emergency services for pain control;
· Tooth extractions;
· Fillings;
· Root canal treatments (anterior/posterior);
· Crowns (prefabricated/laboratory);
· Scaling and root planning;
· Periodontal maintenance;
· Complete and partial dentures; and
· Orthodontics for children who qualify.
Are There Any Exceptions?
Yes. There are of coarse some exceptions, like how old you are or when your last Prophy was, for example. Thankfully, you do not have to worry about knowing all of the specific conditions and restrictions- that is our job! We will advise you on the best course of treatment and what your individual plan covers.
