Action for Dental Health Act of 2023

This bill increases annual funding for the existing grant program supporting innovative dental health initiatives under the Public Health Service Act. It raises the annual appropriation from $13.9 million (2019-2023) to $15.2 million for 2024, $15.5 million for 2025, and $15.8 million for 2026, with funds remaining available until fully expended. The bill directly affects dental health programs, particularly those serving underserved communities, by providing higher, multi-year funding for existing grant activities. It does not create new programs but adjusts the financial authorization for the current grant mechanism.
