Georgia Medicaid covers only limited emergency dental care for adults 21+ (emergency extractions and pain relief); routine cleanings, fillings, and dentures are not covered. (In 2024 the GA Department of Community Health proposed expanding adult dental coverage — check Georgia Gateway or DCH for current status.)
