The proposal would expand dental and oral health coverage for adults enrolled in Medicaid, the government health insurance program for low-income people. Currently, most states are not required to cover adult dental services under Medicaid, leaving many poor and elderly adults without access to preventive care, cleanings, and treatments. This change would help millions of adults afford necessary dental work that they might otherwise skip due to cost.
