The ADA News (8/26, Garvin) reported that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has extended the deadline to Sept. 13 for all dentists to apply for funding through the Enhanced Provider Relief Fund Payment Portal.

The article said that the ADA has created an FAQ on popular dental questions regarding the Provider Relief Fund Portal.

The portal allows dental providers to apply for payments made for health care-related expenses or lost revenue attributable to the pandemic.
