S 3597 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Promoting Dental Health Act

S 3597, the Promoting Dental Health Act, reauthorizes existing dental health programs under the Public Health Service Act. It updates the expiration dates for two specific program authorizations from previous periods (2010-2014 and 2001-2005) to 2024-2028. This bill does not create new programs or change funding levels; it simply extends the current authorization period for established dental health services. The programs directly affect communities served by these federally funded dental initiatives, particularly those with limited access to care. The change ensures continuity for these existing services through 2028.
