Twenty-one school-based dental programs and thirteen dental centers across the state offer a range of oral health services. Each program or dental center has its own eligibility rules to qualify for services. Generally speaking the client must live in the geographic area served by the program, fulfill financial eligibility requirements and fall within the patient population age criteria determined by the dental program.
Working with the state Offices of Rural Health & Primary Care, the Oral Health Program identifies Dental Health Professional Shortage Areas so dental school loan repayment agreements can offer incentives to dental professionals who will relocate to areas of the state where few dentists and dental hygienists provide services to low-income families.
