Smiles For Children

Dental services for children enrolled in FAMIS or FAMIS Plus are provided through the Smiles For Children program. The Smiles For Children program encourages good dental health and recommends regular check-ups with your child's dentist.

  • There are no costs or co-payments for dental care services in the Smiles For Children program.
  • You should only use dental providers enrolled in the Smiles For Children network.
  • To access services, use your child's Commonwealth of Virginia (blue and white) plastic ID card or MCO member card each time you visit the dentist.

The Smiles For Children program is managed by DentaQuest. All FAMIS and FAMIS Plus enrollees get a Smiles For Children member handbook. The member handbook explains your child's dental benefits in more detail. A listing of all the Smiles For Children dental providers is also mailed to each enrolled family.
