It says :
A newborn who weighs less than 1,200 grams (about 2 pounds, 10 ounces) can qualify for SSI on the basis of low birth weight, if otherwise eligible. A child who weighs between 1,200 and 2,000 grams at birth (about 4 pounds 6 ounces) and who is considered small for his or her gestational age may also qualify.

In several states, if you receive SSI, you automatically qualify for Medicaid. Under the Medicaid program, dental services are an optional service for adult Medicaid eligibles age 21 and older. States electing to provide dental benefits under their Medicaid program may determine the amount, duration and scope of dental services they will furnish.

Here is some information on Medicaid dental programs :
