The PPACA has mandated that plans offered on the exchange, or small group and individual plans all include in them benefits for children's dental services. There has been much data collected over the years that children that receive regular dental care are healthier than those that do not. With that said it will be interesting to see how this is played out in the actual world. Currently, children on Medical have dental coverage. But there is a continuous cry about accessing that care. If we add more children to this group, but dentists still resist taking these plans, will the children get more care than they are now? Or will their coverage merely be on paper and parents that can already afford to take their children to the dentist will continue and those that can not afford it will still not have access to the dentists they need? We will wait and see.
