Adult Medicaid in Kentucky: Yes, Dentists Do Accept It

Searching for a dentist that accepts adult Medicaid and coming up empty? You're not imagining it — many offices quietly turn adult Medicaid patients away, or park them on months-long waitlists. We don't. Adult KY Medicaid patients get the same schedule, the same chairs, and the same same-day emergency slots as everyone else.

If you've been putting off care because you assumed no one takes adult Medicaid, bring your card to 6826 Bardstown Road. We'll verify your benefits in minutes, tell you exactly what your plan covers this year, and map out any remaining costs before treatment starts.

Medicaid Dental Care for Children and Teens

Members under age 21 are covered under the federal Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit, which entitles children and teens to the medically necessary dental care they need — from routine checkups and cleanings to treatment when something is wrong.

We welcome kids and teens on every Kentucky Medicaid plan we accept, and we confirm each child's benefits with the plan before the visit so parents know what to expect.
