Your child’s smile is important to you. It's important to us too. That's why the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan have teamed up to bring you the Healthy Kids Dental program — dental coverage at no cost to you. If your child is under 21, lives in Michigan and has a Medicaid plan, they might qualify for this program.
Healthy Kids Dental provides coverage your child needs at no cost to you
Healthy Kids Dental coverage includes:
- Exams
- X-rays
- Screenings and assessments
- Sealants
- Extractions
- Fillings
- Cleanings
- Root canals

See the Benefits Summary (PDF) for a more complete list of all the benefits.
