AUGUSTA, Maine — The state of Maine is expanding MaineCare dental coverage for adults and increasing reimbursement rates for dental providers as of July 1, representing an estimated $45 million investment in oral health.

Gov. Janet Mills proposed the expansion of adult dental benefits in the 2022-23 Biennial Budget following the Health and Human Services Committee’s unanimous support of Speaker of the House Ryan Fecteau’s bill, LD 996, An Act To Improve Dental Health Access for Maine Children and Adults with Low Incomes.
