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.
