Programs:
Dental Care for Persons with Disabilities
Children and young adults with disabilities from low-income families may be eligible for free dental care through a program coordinated by the University of Iowa. The statewide program, Dental Care for Persons with Disabilities, is administered by the University of Iowa, Department of Pediatric Dentistry and the Iowa Department of Public Health.
To qualify, participants must be an Iowa resident younger than 21 years of age and have a physical, emotional or developmental disability. Participant’s family income must total less than 200 percent of the federal poverty guideline. Those with any form of dental insurance, such as Medicaid (Title XIX), Hawk-I, etc. are not eligible to participate in this program. Dental services are provided at the Center for Disabilities and Development in Iowa City and private dental offices across the state.
