The Dental Program aims to support special health care needs populations by increasing timely access, reducing geographic shortages, increasing equity, and supporting quality of care, while also encouraging prevention services, early intervention, behavior support service and intervention, provider education, and community outreach activities that bring care to community sites. Eligible applicants include, but are not limited to, primary care clinics, specialty clinics, community clinics, free clinics, surgical clinics, acute care hospitals, intermediate care facilities for the developmentally disabled, special hospitals, providers that are licensed with the medical or dental board of California, and dental colleges.
