Grant Supports Advocacy Efforts for Oral Health Initiatives

Oral Health America (OHA) received a $668,000 grant from DentaQuest Foundation— the largest admini strator of dental benefits in the United States, with the mission of improving the oral health of all Americans—to expand its Wisdom Tooth Project®. This initiative is designed to educate older adults and their caregivers about oral health; connect communities with support and resources to access dental care; and advocate for the oral health of older adults. The funds will also support OHA’s efforts to support the inclusion of oral health benefits in Medicare.
