Action for Dental Health Act of 2023

The Action for Dental Health Act of 2023 extends the authorization period for federal grants addressing dental workforce shortages. It amends Section 340G(f) of the Public Health Service Act to change the grant funding period from 2019-2023 to 2024-2028. This extension directly affects dental health programs and organizations receiving these grants, ensuring continued funding for initiatives that train and deploy dental professionals in underserved communities. The key provision is a straightforward renewal of the grant timeline without altering funding amounts or eligibility criteria.
