Medicaid Making Dental Care Affordable

Many families in San Antonio delay dental care because they can't find providers who accept Medicaid or offer affordable rates. We're changing that.

Whether you're a parent caring for children, an adult managing ongoing dental needs, or someone looking for urgent treatment, we're here to help.

Our team works with DentaQuest, the administrator of Healthy Connections Medicaid in Texas, to ensure your care is fully supported.

Why Medicaid Dental Coverage Matters

Medicaid doesn't just cover emergencies, it helps you stay healthy with preventive care. Regular cleanings, X-rays, and fillings help avoid bigger (and more expensive) problems later.

Schedule preventive visits on time

Understand what's covered and how to stay within your benefits
