Connecticut is one of the few U.S. states that includes pediatric dental insurance in all of the health plans that it offers through Access Health CT, the state's health insurance exchange.
Pediatric dental coverage is a key part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), but some states don't include dental coverage in their insurance plans, so parents have to get insurance on the open market.
In Connecticut, dental benefits are available to children up to age 19, according to a nbcconnecticut.com story.
Dental benefits may be available for children, but adults signing up for health coverage will still have to shop on the open market for dental insurance.
