The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6082, aims to enhance oral health outcomes for children in Connecticut. It seeks to achieve this by increasing Medicaid reimbursement rates for preventive dental services, specifically targeting treatments such as dental sealants and fluoride varnish. Additionally, the bill proposes to expand the Access for Baby Care Program to include older children, thereby broadening the scope of support for children's health.

Furthermore, the bill introduces provisions to provide dental benefits under the state medical assistance program to all income-eligible Connecticut residents up to the age of twenty-one, irrespective of their immigration status. This inclusion is a significant change aimed at ensuring that all children have access to necessary dental care, thereby addressing disparities in oral health services.
