Does Denti-Cal cover kids?

Yes, children under 21 have comprehensive dental coverage under Medi-Cal/Denti-Cal, including preventive care, sealants, fillings, and orthodontic care when medically necessary.

Why is it hard to find a dentist that takes Medi-Cal?

Reimbursement rates can be lower than commercial insurance, so not every practice accepts new Denti-Cal patients. Using our form is usually the fastest way to find one with current capacity.
