Dental
Insurance
Children were much more likely to be without dental
insurance than without medical insurance. One in four
children were dentally uninsured at time of the call.
Children without dental insurance
were less likely to have a dental check-up in the past
year and had more unmet need for dental care. Medicaid enrollees, however, had similar rates of dental
check-ups as uninsured children and had higher unmet
need for dental care than the uninsured (18% vs 13%).  |
