The grant will be used to establish the community-based residency program’s infrastructure, creating a program that the center’s leaders hope will inspire dental school graduates to practice in similar settings.

The program will help provide dental care to thousands of low-income residents, especially Medicaid recipients. 

The funds are given by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the report said.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place November 12–14 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
