Hi Kris from Claremont New Hampshire!   I am so sorry you have to deal with this disease.  Medicaid coverage is coverage for necessary dental work.  That being said, necessary work includes exam , cleaning and x rays yearly. Tooth extractions and silver fillings are covered. Dentures are covered as well, but they offer only minimal coverage regardless of what caused the condition of your teeth.  Make sure you have this disease under control before you start to any dental work. Bulimia, if not kept in check, it will damage your new dental work.  Good luck to you and God Bless!
