Guidance for : We are writing today to ask for your help in continuing the efforts underway to improve access to dental care for the many millions of children who are enrolled in Medicaid and the Children�s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). As you know, access to dental care has for years been a persistent problem for low-income children, with numerous studies documenting high rates of dental disease and low rates of children receiving annual visits, even among those children who have health coverage through Medicaid or CHIP.
