Changes You Should Know About Covered California Dental Insurance

A lot of patients avoid or put off visiting the dentist because they believe it will be too costly and do not know that their options are when they are self-employed or are not offered dental benefits through their job. However, many oral health problems get more expensive to remedy the longer they go untreated.  

For instance a simple cavity untreated early on  can develop into larger cavities. As decay worsens in your mouth it affects the deeper layers of your tooth. This can lead to increased pain, an infection and ultimately require a major dental intervention such as a root canal to remedy, and left untreated you could end up losing the tooth and have significant health consequences from that. Early oral health treatment is essential for long-term oral health. You can save with dental insurance or our Clove Care program. One option available to all California families is Dental Plans through Covered California. 

There are many dental plans out there and Covered California is not the only option for families but it is available as an option for all California families.

Some recent changes affect Covered California families:

1. There was a slight rate increase in 2024. 

2. Covered California clients who experience a qualifying life event (such as marriage or a new baby) can sign up for health and dental coverage during Covered California’s special-enrollment period.

3. Covered California improved their online Shop and Compare Tool. This shows families if they are eligible for financial help and which plans are available in their service area.

Once again there are many dental plans out there and Covered California is not the only option for families but it is available as an option for all California families.
