June is Dental Diversity Month and we are celebrating EVERY dentist who makes this profession more representative, more inclusive, and more powerful because of it. Diversity in dentistry is not just a talking point. It's a proven pathway to better patient care, stronger communities, and a profession that truly reflects the world you serve.

To every dental professional who has broken barriers, paved the way, and shown up authentically in this field — this month is for YOU. 🦷💙

AGD is pleased to share that H.R. 2001, the bipartisan legislation to reauthorize critical dental workforce grant programs passed by a unanimous vote in the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on May 21.

This strong bipartisan support reflects broad recognition of the urgent need to strengthen the dental workforce. H.R. 2001 will help expand dental education, training, and recruitment efforts particularly in rural and underserved communities where access to care remains a significant challenge. During AGD Hill Day, our members advocated on this piece of legislation in their Congressional visits.

There is still additional work needed to ensure passage of this legislation, but the unanimous support indicates that this bipartisan and commonsense legislation will continue to advance. AGD leaders and members will continue advocating for its full passage through the House and Senate.

Thank you to all AGD members who contacted their representatives and helped make this possible. Your advocacy truly makes a difference. Watch for more information on next steps and ways you can support the process.
