The expansion would bring the pediatric dental program to three of the state’s most populous counties, according to the report. The Health Kids Dental program is already available in the state’s 80 other counties. Michigan will contribute $8 million to the expansion, while the federal government will cover the remaining two-thirds of the cost.
The program hopes to expand care to 600,000 low-income adult patients, as well.
