The ADA and three partner organizations are urging Congress to strengthen federal support for oral health programs and restore senior-level dental leadership within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as part of the fiscal year 2027 appropriations process.
In a joint letter to House and Senate appropriations leaders, the organizations outlined the need for sustained and increased investment in public health programs, workforce training and research to improve oral health outcomes nationwide. In addition to the ADA, the letter was signed by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry; the American Dental Education Association; and the American Association for Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial Research.
