Amends TCA Title 63, Chapter 5 and Title 68.

Tennessee SB0742 mandates the commissioner of health to establish programs aimed at improving access to dental services in rural and underserved areas. The bill affects dental care providers, dental schools, and residents in these regions by allowing for cooperative agreements, clinic enhancements, provider incentives, and training opportunities. Key provisions include the development of programs for restorative and specialty dental services, support for senior dental care, and the incorporation of high technology and telecommunications, all requiring approval from the commissioner of finance and administration.
