Finding a dentist in rural Iowa can be tough; most of the state is underserved. So the Iowa Rural Dental Health Initiative has launched a website to match dentists with underserved communities.
The program lets participating dentists qualify for up to $100,000 in loan repayment if they move to one of the 55 counties with a shortage of dentists. (A similar program by Delta Dental offers up to $50,000 in loan repayment, covering fully 89 of the state’s counties.)
Dentists accepted into this program commit to at least 3-5 years of service, and must dedicate one-third of their practice to underserved patients.
