NEW YORK, NY, USA: Children with cleft lip and/or palate experience significant differences in obtaining dental care depending on the type of insurance coverage they have, according to a study.
Those with Medicaid are more often refused care, have fewer checkups and report less satisfaction with their dental care, according to a report in the May 2009 issue of the Cleft Palate–Craniofacial Journal, the official publication of the American Cleft Palate–Craniofacial Association.
Parents and caregivers of 171 children ages 7 to 12 with cleft lip and/or palate were interviewed for a study. Although 85 per cent of the children received regular dental care, those who did not were predominantly covered by public insurance rather than private insurance.
