Protect Medicaid Dental

Stand up for low-income adults, seniors and veterans by preserving Michigan’s adult dental.

Michigan’s Medicaid adult dental program provides access to affordable, quality dental care for low-income adults, seniors and veterans across Michigan. 


Right now, some lawmakers are considering cuts and changes to Medicaid. If that happens, hundreds of thousands of people could lose access to the dental care they need to stay healthy.


We need to speak up now to protect these programs. Contact your legislator today and tell them to keep dental care for low-income seniors, veterans, and kids.

Michigan’s Adult Dental Program

Michigan’s adult dental program helps low-income adults, including seniors and veterans, get quality dental care.


Right now, some lawmakers are talking about cutting costs by removing certain treatments, including:

  • deep cleanings
  • root canals
  • sealants
  • healthy gum care, and
  • crowns.

These cuts would harm the health of many people in Michigan. Without these services, it will be harder for people to get the dental care they need. This could also hurt our workforce because people with poor oral health may have trouble getting or keeping a job.


Studies show that when people can’t get regular dental care, their overall health gets worse. They are more likely to have serious problems like infections, abscesses, and even cancer.
