Accessing Dental Care Through Medi-Cal

The Children’s Partnership is working to ensure that families with children enrolled in Medi-Cal understand they have dental benefits and how to use their benefits. We are also working with policymakers and the Brown Administration to ensure the State systems facilitate access to dental care for all children enrolled in Medi-Cal.
