DENTAL HEALTH & SCHOOL
Cavities (also known as caries or tooth decay) are one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood in the United States. Untreated cavities can cause pain and infections that may lead to problems with eating, speaking, playing and learning. Children who have poor oral health often miss more school and receive lower grades than children who don’t.
The key is to seek help before it impacts your students' learning and overall health. You may find the resources on this webpage helpful in finding a provider for your child if they are suffering from dental pain. Contact your child's school nurse if you need further assistance. |

Medi-Cal/Denti-Cal Orthodontics ResourceOrthodontic services are a covered benefit for members 20 years of age and under as long as they meet the criteria guidelines. The best way of know if you qualify is to have an evaluation by a Certified Orthodontist that is enrolled in the Medi-Cal Dental Program. That Orthodontist would submit for authorization for approval.
