Learn what to expect – and all the ways Children’s Hospital is keeping patients safe. These measures include increased screening measures for all team members and visitors, testing patients and symptomatic caregivers, increased availability of telehealth appointments, and limiting the number of people at locations.

Health First Colorado is Colorado’s Medicaid program. It provides dental benefits to enrolled children age 20 and under. Children enrolled in the full state plan have a wide range of benefits with no co-pays or out of pocket expenses. To receive the best dental care possible, it is important you find a dental home for your child. A dental home is a dentist or dental hygienist your child sees on a regular basis for dental care. If your child should have a dental emergency, call your dental home provider first.
