FROM; Phil Batchelor Collra
County Administrator
Costa
DATE: June 23 , 1986 COU*
SUBJECT; Legislation: Assembly Bill 3270 (Margolin)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position of support for AB 3270 by Assemblyman Margolin.
BACKGROUND:
Existing law specifies all of the medical services which are
eligible for reimbursement under the Medi-Cal program. Among the
dental services which are eligible for Medi-Cal reimbursement is
the application of fluoride for children 17 years of age and
under. AB 3270 would add to these services dental sealants.
A dental sealant is a plastic resin which is painted on the
teeth, most often the molars, as a preventive measure. Whereas
fluoride helps to prevent tooth decay on the smooth surfaces of
the teeth, it is less effective with the biting surfaces of the
molars. In these cases, the dental sealant material works better
on the biting and chewing surfaces.
The Health Services Department recommends that the Board support
AB 3270 and this office concurs in that recommendation.
