Thanks to your advocacy, the Arizona Senate passed SB1037, important legislation to give adults oral health benefits through AHCCCS. Now, we need you to ask your Representatives to urge Committee Chair Montenegro to hear the bill next week in the House Health and Human Services Committee.
With the Passing of SB1037:
- Adults can use up to $1,000 every year for their teeth.
- This money can be used for regular dental check-ups and emergencies.
Why Is This Important?
- When parents have healthy teeth, their kids stay healthier too.
- This legislation can help everyone and will remove major costs – the major reason why families do not visit a dentist.
- We know that poor oral health in pregnancy can lead to preterm births and low birth weights. At a time of rising infant mortality in Arizona and a maternal mortality crisis nationally – especially affecting Black and Indigenous communities – this bill is even more important.
- Think of it as a powerful shield that protects families from tooth troubles.
