The main purpose of this legislation is to improve access to dental care by addressing the workforce needs in the dental field. It aims to ensure that there are enough dental professionals available to meet the demands of the population, particularly in underserved areas. One of the key provisions of this legislation is the reauthorization of a grant program that provides funding specifically for addressing these dental workforce needs. The bill increases the funding amount from approximately 3.9 million per year to 5 million per year for the years 2027 through 2031.
