Children’s MassHealth: How Do They Work?
There are many MassHealth plans with varying levels of coverage, including MassHealth Standard, MassHealth CommonHealth, MassHealth CarePlus, and MassHealth Family Assistance.
As a state-sponsored program, MassHealth is a CHIP program that provides coverage to low- and moderate-income individuals and families. This ensures infants through teens have access to preventive, restorative, and emergency dental care they need to maintain a healthy smile.
To be eligible for MassHealth, one must submit an application, be financially eligible for an available plan, be a state resident, and be a U.S. citizen or have verified immigration status.

When enrolled in a MassHealth plan, your child will receive access to the following dental services:
- Dental checkups and cleanings
- Dental fillings
- Dental crowns
- Fluoride treatment
- Tooth extractions
- Braces
- Silver diamine fluoride

MassHealth Dental Coverage for Adults
MassHealth is primarily used for children’s dental needs and orthodontic patients; however, in New Hampshire, emergency dental services are covered for adults. If orthodontic treatment is necessary, but the cost of care is too high for you to pay out of pocket, Simply Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics partners with CareCredit. This third-party company offers eligible enrollees access to low- and no-interest payment plans, so you can pay back the total amount owed without incurring surprise fees, all within your budget.
Prevention is the Key to a Healthy Smile
Keeping your child’s teeth happy and healthy is key. This means ensuring they see our dental team regularly for checkups and cleanings every six months. Not only will we be able to identify problems early and minimize the risk of more serious dental issues, but we can also set your child up for greater success in the future.
Using your MassHealth benefits to pay for your child’s dental care will make prevention possible and easy, so do not wait to call and schedule their next appointment today.
