Medicaid and CHIP Dental Care for Kids in Dallas
If your child has Texas Medicaid or CHIP, you’re welcome here. We see children from infancy through age 18, and Medicaid and CHIP families get the same care, the same team and the same time with the dentist as every other family.
Children’s Medicaid and CHIP dental plans usually cover regular checkups and cleanings, and many treatments a child may need. Exactly what’s covered depends on your child’s plan. Before the visit, we confirm your child’s coverage so there are no surprises.
If your child’s plan asks you to choose a main dentist, call us and we’ll help you with that step.
How We Handle Your Insurance
- Before the visit: give us your child's insurance details when you book. We check eligibility and benefits ahead of time.
- At the visit: bring your child's insurance or Medicaid card. If we recommend treatment, we explain what your plan covers and what, if anything, you'll owe, before we start.
- After the visit: we file the claim with your insurance company for you and help you get the most from your benefits.
Payment and Financing Options
We want cost to be one less thing to worry about. Here’s how you can pay for anything insurance doesn’t cover:
- Dental insurance: we file claims on your behalf.
- CareCredit: a health care credit card that lets you pay for treatment over time, subject to approval by CareCredit.
- FSA and HSA: use your flexible spending or health savings account for eligible dental care.
- Cash, credit and debit: we accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express.
No Dental Insurance? We Can Still Help
No insurance doesn’t mean no dentist. Ask us about our self-pay rates and preventive care packages. We’ll go over the cost of your child’s visit before it happens, so you can plan for it.
What to Bring to Your Child's First Visit
- Your child's insurance, Medicaid or CHIP card
