Dental Care

Members under 21 years of age

All dental health checkups, cleanings and treatments are covered. A doctor referral is not needed to see a dentist. It is important to take your children to the dentist twice a year to keep their teeth healthy. From the time the first tooth appears, children should visit their dentist for a checkup every six months.

Members under 21 years old are assigned to a Dental Home. A Dental Home is your assigned dentist who will get you or your child needed dental care. To change your dental home, call customer service. All members age out of oral health at age 21.
