State Government Voucher Information
Many people don’t realize they’re grinding their teeth until someone else, like a partner, notices the sound or they begin to experience symptoms such as jaw pain, headaches, or worn-down, sensitive teeth.
Voucher Types:
- Emergency Voucher – $260
– This voucher is for a one-off emergency visit to treat an immediate dental problem. It
does not cover preventive services
– Eligible services include a limited exam of the affected area, an x-ray, fillings,
extractions, and other treatments related to the emergency issue.
– You are eligible to receive two emergency vouchers per year. - General Voucher – $750
– The general voucher can be used for a full dental examination, clean, x-rays, fluoride
treatment, fillings, extractions, and other necessary treatments around the mouth.
– There is currently a waiting list of about 2 years to receive a general voucher, so it
is best to get on the list as early as possible.
– Once the $750 runs out, you may be able to apply for an extension of funds to
complete the treatment, but approval can take 6 weeks plus. - Prosthetics Voucher for Dentures
– This voucher must be used at one of the clinics listed on the MSOH participating providers list.
– We cannot provide assistance with the prosthetics voucher, as these must be handled by a prosthetist in a lab.
