This bill renews a federal grant program that helps address shortages of dental care workers. It extends the program from 2026 through 2030 and raises the yearly funding level. Unused funds can carry over from year to year rather than expiring at the end of each year.
The program targets communities that have limited access to dental care. It supports efforts to train, place, and keep dental health professionals in the areas that need them most.
Without reauthorization, the program would lose its federal funding after its current term ends. Extending it allows communities with dental worker shortages to continue receiving support.
