Dental Program

Dental care is one of the benefits under the Hawaii Medicaid program administered by
the Med-QUEST Division (MQD) of the Department of Human Services. Community
Case Management Corp (CCMC) is delegated authority, through a contract with the
Hawaii Dental Service (HDS), to help Medicaid-eligible individuals access dental care.

We provide assistance to Medicaid-eligible individuals on all of the islands. We will help
you to find a dentist who can provide the covered dental benefits that you need.

• Children and adolescents under 21 yrs of age: Diagnostic and preventive
  services are covered. Services include X-rays, cleanings, preventive care such
  as topical fluoride and restorative care such as fillings for cavities.
• Adults 21 years and older: Selected preventive and restorative dental
  procedures are covered. Limited denture benefits are also covered. Cosmetic
  orthodontia (braces) is not covered.

Your dentist will determine the covered benefit that is appropriate to your dental needs.
