Medicaid -- a joint fed. and state program that provides health care coverage, including dental care, for 30 million low-income children -- but, many children in Medicaid experience difficulty finding a dentist who would treat them. At the fed. level, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) oversees Medicaid. This report examined: (1) state strategies to monitor and improve access to dental care for children in Medicaid; and (2) CMS actions since 2007 to improve oversight of Medicaid dental services for children. The author surveyed all state Medicaid programs and interviewed state and fed. officials, and dental researchers and associations. Charts and tables.

It also surveys dentists in each state to see if they provide those basic services and what problems they encounter in trying to provide them.

Attention to this subject became more acute due to the widely publicized case of Deamonte Driver, a 12-year-old boy who died as a result of an untreated infected tooth that led to a fatal brain infection. Deamonte had health coverage through Medicaid, a joint fed. and state program that provides health care coverage, incl. dental care, for millions of low-income children. He had extensive dental disease and his family was unable to find a dentist to treat him. This report examines the extent to which children in Medicaid experience dental disease, the extent to which they receive dental care, and how these conditions have changed over time.
