I haven't worked in an office that accepted Medicaid for a few years, but I can tell you that they base approval on income and the number of people in the household!. I have never seen anyone over 18 yrs old get approved for Medicaid unless they were pregnant or mentally retarded!. Medicaid also will only pay for dental work for 20 yrs old and younger!. They also will not cover veneers!. That is cosmetic and you don't have to have them to function properly, so Medicaid doesn't view that as necessary dental work!.
Sorry, but I doubt that you would qualify for medicaid at your age unless you are pregnant, and even if you did, you would only get limited dental coverage until you hit 21!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You didn't indicated if you already have Medicaid, but if you don't you should call your Department of Social Services and apply for it!. I think each state has different rules about what is covered!. If you already have Medicaid, you should have a number to call where you can ask what is covered!. Usually they will not cover dental care and certainly nothing cosmetic!. Sometimes they might pay for a tooth extraction if it is abscessed!. There are sometimes dental schools or dental hygiene schools at technical colleges that will give discounted fillings , x-rays, and cleanings to poor people, but you have to qualify!. Usually they have no interest in doing any cosmetic work or such things as crowns, whitening, etc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I don't believe you will be able to get it unless you are pregnant!. In some places, medicaid ends when you are 21, so you may be able to get some coverage!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
