What Does MassHealth Cover?

MassHealth is the second largest insurer in the state of Massachusetts, where it combines Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) under one unified program.

MassHealth helps families cover the cost of their child’s dental exams and procedures. Kool Smiles dentists accept MassHealth patients so kids and adults alike can get affordable care.

Here is a list of dental procedures typically covered under the program for children younger than 21 years old:

• Oral exams (twice in 12 months)
• X-rays
• Cleanings (twice in 12 months)
• Fluoride (twice in 12 months)
• Sealants
• Braces (if qualified)
• Root canal treatments
• Space maintainers
• Oral surgery
• Extractions (tooth-pulling)
• Anesthesia
• Crowns
• Fillings
• Any other medically necessary dental service

Consult your local Kool Smiles dentist office for approval of certain services. For MassHealth patients over 21 that have been approved by the Department of Developmental Services (DDS), you gain the same benefits and more, including:

• Crowns
• Some periodontal (gum) services
• Dentures
