Medi-Cal dental care for Folsom families
Every child deserves a healthy smile, whatever the family budget. That's why our Folsom office accepts Medi-Cal Dental for kids and teens. Families visit us from Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Orangevale and Rancho Cordova for the same gentle care every patient receives: unhurried appointments, clear explanations and a team that works with young children every day.
For members under 21, Medi-Cal Dental covers checkups every six months, and there's generally no yearly dollar limit on covered, medically necessary care. We confirm eligibility before the visit and review any treatment plan with you first, so you know what to expect before treatment begins.
What Medi-Cal Dental covers for kids
Covered, medically necessary services for children and teens under 21 include:
- Exams and checkups every six months
- Professional cleanings and the X-rays your child needs
- Fluoride treatments
- Sealants on permanent molars
- Fillings and crowns for decayed or broken teeth
- Nerve treatment
- Tooth extractions
- Urgent care for dental pain or infection
- Sedation, when your child's dentist finds it medically necessary
Some treatments need approval from your child's dental plan before we begin. Our team sends that request for you and lets you know as soon as we hear back.

Care for every stage of childhood
