Delta Dental of Rhode Island has launched a new loan repayment program to support local dentists as part of efforts to strengthen the state’s dental workforce.
Funded by a $5 million investment and administered by the Rhode Island Foundation, the program offers up to $20,000 per year for three years to eligible dentists.
To qualify, dentists must practice in Rhode Island at least 32 hours per week and show a commitment to serving underserved communities. Up to 10 recipients will be selected annually, with input from a local advisory committee.
