Arkansas (AR) Dental Plans
Although rapidly advancing in pace with the rest of the country for technological and commercial advancements, Arkansas remains sluggish in terms of their statewide dental health development. Before 1999, their State Oral Health program consisted of one member, and only 49% of the population had access to fluoridated water. However, state representatives are hard at work to change that standing.

Health and Dental Care in Arkansas
The Arkansas Oral Health Program has as its focus four points: education, access, prevention and policy. Their goal is to eventually bring dental care access to people of all income levels across the state. In addition, with educational programs such as their Healthy Beginnings dental information for pregnant women and Delta Dental Plan's Teeth on the Go activity kits, they hope to teach residents the importance of oral health.
In addition to these state-funded programs, many discount dental programs have begun to sprout up offering families around the state considerable savings on basic and emergency dental care. Enrollment in these plans range in cost from $79.95-$139.95 for individuals and $129.95-$189.95/family for 15 months. Benefits included in these plans include:
- free or reduced teeth cleaning
- restorative and preventive care such as x-rays and sealants at a discount
- Full upper dentures as low as $600
- 15-20% off specialist services such as orthodontics
- access to additional discount plans for vision, hearing, and chiropractic services
