Caring for insured dental health, previously, the focus was on services at hospitals. Which still does not cover the benefits that the insured persons should receive. This action research aimed to develop a dental health care model for insured persons in Phibun Mangsahan, Ubon Ratchathani. Participants included insured persons, establishment managers, dentists, dental nurses, and dental assistants. Process of dental health care system for insured persons comprised of 1) A cortex base study and analysis of the problems; 2) Providing a dental health care model and proactive dental health care for insured persons in establishments; 3) Assess the satisfaction of the dental health care model; 4) Evaluation conclusion and suggestions. Insured persons received preventative dental health services, including full mouth dental health examinations (91.2 %) and dental sealants (70.4%). Dental treatment services include scaling (98.7%) and fillings (10.1%). The insured persons were satisfied with the overall proactive dental service model at a high level in terms of procedures, duration, personnel, disbursement system, and reasonable prices. They resulted in receiving dental services that cover oral problems. However, it should increase the contact channel by making a separate line group for service places or organizing a dental social security hotline for the insured persons
