What Is Medi-Cal?
California offers a medical benefits program known as Medi-Cal. This program provides health and dental benefits to eligible California residents. Specifically, the dental benefits portion of this program is formally called Denti-Cal. Anyone who qualifies for Medi-Cal also receives access to Denti-Cal benefits. To acquire dental treatment, you will need to present your Medi-Cal ID card at the time of your visit.
Who Is Qualified For Medi-Cal?
Anyone with a limited income may qualify for Medi-Cal, provided they are a resident of California. To receive benefits, you’ll need to apply through the Medi-Cal website, after which your eligibility will be reviewed by county social services. Once your application is approved, the state of California will issue you a Medi-Cal ID.

Frequently Asked Questions
Medi-Cal provides coverage for dental services up to $1,800 per year. However, there is no maximum limit for medically necessary dental treatments or for members who are either pregnant or below 21 years of age.
If you or your child is below 21 years old, you might qualify for extra dental services through the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment (EPSDT) program. Dental services under EPSDT encompass medically necessary treatments to rectify or enhance health conditions.
Medi-Cal Dental will only cover the expenses of services received from dental providers participating in the Medi-Cal Dental Program. If you visit a dentist who is not part of the program, you will be responsible for covering the costs of any dental services you receive.
