Featured Story: MPCA Advocates for Retaining the Medicaid Adult Dental Benefit

• The State Is Wasting Money:  Eliminating the Medicaid adult dental benefit will save money upfront, but it will end up costing the state, and ultimately the taxpayer, more in the long run.
• We Should Learn From The Past:  When the Medicaid adult dental benefit was eliminated in 2003, it had a far reaching impact on Michigan's safety net infrastructure.
• Oral Health Affects Overall Health:  Left untreated, dental disease can cause serious medical conditions and even lead to death.  
• Tooth Decay Is A Family Problem:  The availability of dental care for adults affects the oral health of children.
• Dental Disease Has Broad Implications Beyond Oral Health:  Reinstatement of the Medicaid adult dental benefit would help to prevent pre-term births and low birth weight.
