Children's Dental Home Demonstration Project, The

This program will provide hundreds of children in Scott County, Iowa with dental screenings and necessary preventive, diagnostic, treatment and emergency service. It is actively identifying the dental providers who will be willing to participate in the Medicaid reimbursement program for dental services and who will care for young children. The program is also working with the Medicaid Offices to verify children who are Medicaid enrolled and not receiving dental services. The program is applying their approach to Scott County as a pilot for broadening it to other parts of the state at a future time after the results of this grant are available.
