The Delta Dental Philanthropic Fund Dentist Loan Repayment for Service program has been designed to help in the recruitment of new dentists and to engage new private practice dentists in treating underserved populations. The program provides for loan repayment for young dentists who agree to see a certain percentage of Medicaid patients in their practice and/or work with Delta Dental's mobile dental program and see a smaller percentage of Medicaid patients in their practice.

Applications are due April 1st and September 1st. Candidates must submit an application form, two letters of recommendation, verification that the employer dentist (if applicable) agrees that the applicant is permitted to use their practice to meet the program requirements, documentation of outstanding dental school loans and official college transcripts.
