The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6082, aims to enhance oral health outcomes for children in Connecticut. Key provisions include increasing Medicaid reimbursement rates for preventive dental services such as dental sealants and fluoride varnish treatments. Additionally, the bill seeks to expand the Access for Baby Care Program to include older children and to provide dental benefits under the state medical assistance program to all income-eligible residents up to age twenty-one, irrespective of their immigration status.

The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but introduces significant new legal language to support these initiatives. By implementing these changes, the bill intends to ensure better access to dental care for children, thereby improving their overall oral health.
