Metro Health's Oral Health Program is focused on improving the oral health of children in San Antonio.
Providing oral evaluations and preventive dental services to children are key components of the program.
The program also works with parents and caregivers to ensure children in need of dental treatment are connected to care in the community, including those that are uninsured or underinsured.
If your child does not qualify for Medicaid or CHIP, they may qualify for Title V financial dental assistance. Title V financial dental assistance is for children 6 months to 17 years of age and is based on household income and number of family members.
Contact the Oral Health Title V Program Liaison to find out if your child qualifies.
