A bill to reauthorize the Action for Dental Health Act has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives.
The Action for Dental Health Act supports organizations that provide dental care to underserved populations and rural communities, according to a March 10 news release.
The funding provided through the act helps prevent dental disease, improve oral health education, expand the dental workforce and increase access to oral healthcare.
Reps. Mike Simpson, DMD, and Robin Kelly introduced the bill for reauthorization, the release said.
