Find Medicaid Dentists

Medicaid acceptance changes frequently and varies by plan, by managed-care organization, by panel status (open vs. closed), and by service category. We display "Accepts Medicaid" only when a claimed provider has attested to it. For everyone else, use the steps below.

How to confirm Medicaid coverage before booking

  1. Call the practice and ask: "Are you accepting new Medicaid patients on my specific plan?" Provide the exact plan or MCO name from your card.
  2. Call the member services number on your Medicaid card to confirm the practice and provider by name and NPI.
  3. If you are searching for a child, ask about your state's EPSDT dental benefit.
  4. Read our Medicaid accuracy disclaimer for the full guidance.

How to find a Medicaid dentist

Search by city, state, or ZIP, then filter for Medicaid acceptance. Because participation changes regularly, call the office before scheduling to confirm they accept your exact plan (for example, IL HFS, Texas Medicaid, MCNA, DentaQuest, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan).

What Medicaid typically covers

  • Children (EPSDT): exams, cleanings, fluoride, sealants, fillings, extractions, and medically necessary orthodontics
  • Adults: varies by state — many cover emergency extractions, some cover preventive and restorative care, fewer cover dentures and crowns
  • Pregnancy: expanded dental benefits in many states during pregnancy and the postpartum period

Where Medicaid dentists practice

  • Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and community dental clinics
  • Dental school clinics and resident-run faculty practices
  • Pediatric dental practices (high child-Medicaid participation)
  • Hospital-based dental and oral surgery programs
  • Private dental offices that opt in to state Medicaid plans

Before you book: what to check

Verify the plan name

Medicaid runs through state MCOs. Give the office your exact plan and group number, not just "Medicaid."

Ask your MCO too

Your state Medicaid or MCO member services line has the authoritative in-network list.

Check the NPI + license

Every result is anchored to a federal NPI record. Confirm active license with the state dental board.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find a dentist that accepts Medicaid near me?

Search by your city, state, or ZIP code and filter for Medicaid acceptance. Always call the office to confirm they currently accept your specific Medicaid plan, since participation can change month to month.

Does Medicaid cover dental care for adults?

Adult dental coverage under Medicaid varies by state. Some states cover only emergency extractions, others cover preventive cleanings, fillings, dentures, and oral surgery. Check with your state Medicaid program for the exact benefits.

Does Medicaid cover dental care for children?

Yes. Children enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP are entitled to comprehensive dental benefits under the federal EPSDT requirement, including exams, cleanings, fluoride, sealants, fillings, extractions, and medically necessary orthodontics.

Why is it hard to find a Medicaid dentist?

Not every dental office accepts Medicaid because reimbursement rates are lower than commercial insurance. Community health centers (FQHCs), dental schools, and pediatric practices typically have the highest Medicaid participation.

What is the difference between Medicaid and Medicaid Advantage dental?

Traditional Medicaid is administered directly by your state. Medicaid Advantage (and Medicaid managed care) plans are run by private insurers under contract with the state — the dentist must be in that specific plan's network, not just enrolled in Medicaid generally.
