The funding is to be used for developing and expanding dental operatories and other facilities to provide care to patients with special healthcare needs, according to a March 5 news release from the California Dental Association. 

The 13 recipients of the grant received between $2.2 million and $5 million each, and will build and expand more than 120 dental operatories. 

The California Dental Association initially proposed the program in 2022, the release said.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 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.
