North Dakota Dental Loan Repayment Program
The North Dakota State Legislature has provided funding for the North Dakota Dental Loan Repayment Program. Dentists who provide dental services in the cities or surrounding areas, or both, which the State Health Council identifies as having a defined need for dental services are encouraged to apply. For additional information on this program please visit the following website: http://ndhealth.gov/pco/.

The North Dakota Primary Care Office applies for federal funding yearly to provide a Federal State Loan Repayment Program, which is available for General/Pediatric Dentists or Registered Dental Hygienists providing services in a North Dakota Dental Health Professional Shortage Area. If your county or facility shows a score, your facility is in an eligible location, for shortage locations please view attached map. For additional information on this program please visit the following website: http://www.ndhealth.gov/pco/slrp.asp.
