    MediCal changed their coverage in 2007; they still cover some dental, but you will have to phone them to find out just what. Any dependent under the age of 21 can still have full dental coverage as far as I know.

    Yes, Medi-Cal (Denti-Cal) will cover a tooth extraction if the need for the extraction is adequately justified by the dentist. See http://www.denti-cal.ca.gov/provsrvcs/FAQs/Bene_FAQs.pdf for further information about adult benefits.
