The Delta Dental of Kentucky Foundation is donating $2.35 million to the University of Pikeville’s (UPike) Tanner College of Dental Medicine to support oral health in Eastern Kentucky.
The donation will fund a new pediatric dental clinic and scholarships for future dentists. The clinic will be part of the college’s hands-on training program and expand care for children in Appalachia.
Tanner College, which broke ground in October 2024, will open in 2026. The scholarship adds to previous support for dental hygiene training in the region.
