PCOH collected and summarized data from free and charitable clinics that provided free dental care to Pennsylvanians in 2025. Since 2018, we have collected annual data on free dental services to help measure the gap between funding provided and services needed, advocate for more state funding for dental services, and encourage participation of dentists accepting Medicaid.Click here to view.
