In 2018, dentists advocacy efforts helped make a difference for oral health across the nation. Together, we worked to pass the Action for Dental Health Act, which provided funding for the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Oral Health Workforce Grant Program.
Since then, Action for Dental Health (ADH) has empowered states to:
- Expand oral health education
- Strengthen the dental workforce
- Establish dental homes to reduce costly emergency department visits
- Improve access to care in underserved communities
Funding for the Action for Dental Health program has expired, and we need your help to ensure it continues.
We’re calling on Congress to reauthorize Action for Dental Health for an additional five years (2026-2030). Please email your Representative TODAY and urge them to cosponsor H.R. 2001 to continue critical programs that expand the dental workforce and provide greater access to care.
