The purpose of this paper is to provide practicing dentists in West Virginia with an overview, understanding and appraisal of the Early and Periodic, Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) dental program. EPSDT is one of the least understood and least publicized programs in the Department of Health and Human Resources and is the children's preventive health component of Medicaid. West Virginia can meet the oral health needs for its children by making dental services, both curative and preventive, more available through the EPSDT program. This program can be a principal means, if sufficiently utilized, of meeting the oral health care needs of West Virginia Children by minimizing financial and attitudinal barriers.</p>","PeriodicalId":76820,"journal":{"name":"West Virginia dental journal","volume":"68 2","pages":"6-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20444320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
