Stand-alone dental plans are available through the exchange in every state, although the number of plan options varies from one area to another.
During the open enrollment period for 2023 coverage, nearly 2.3 million people enrolled in stand-alone dental plans through the exchanges nationwide. (For comparison, nearly 16.4 million people enrolled in private health plans through the exchange.) And most of the people who enrolled in stand-alone dental plans through the exchanges were adults – only about 209,000 were under the age of 18.
