Description

If you have Medi-Cal, dental care is already included — there is no separate dental card or sign-up. Covered care includes exams, X-rays, cleanings, fillings, root canals, crowns, and dentures, generally at little to no cost (adults: up to $1,800 a year in covered services). In Los Angeles County, dental care runs through Medi-Cal dental managed care plans; call the service center or search Smile, California to find a dentist taking new patients near you. No Medi-Cal yet? Apply first (see the DPSS listing), then use your dental benefit.
