An estimated 3.7 million U.S. children are eligible for Medicaid/CHIP but are not enrolled. Dental benefits are a core part of these programs, but many eligible families may not be aware of this. Free materials can be ordered to both raise awareness of coverage and educate parents about good oral health habits for their children.
Several Spanish-language tweets are included in Section II. Each of these tweets is the Spanish version of the English tweet above it.
The last section of this social media kit provides links to 13 photos or infographics that can be attached to a tweet. Four Spanish-language images are included.
