What dental services are covered by NC DMA?

NC DMA Dental and Orthodontic Services cover a range of dental services for eligible North Carolina Medicaid and Health Choice recipients. These services include preventive and basic dental care such as regular check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fillings, and extractions. Additionally, emergency dental services are covered to provide immediate relief for severe pain, swelling, infection, or trauma. Some limited orthodontic treatments are also covered for qualifying individuals, specifically in cases where the condition severely impacts the recipient's oral health and function. However, cosmetic orthodontic treatments are generally not covered. To access these services, eligible individuals should contact their dental provider to verify their Medicaid or Health Choice coverage and schedule an appointment.
