AI Summary
This bill, the Oral Health Literacy and Awareness Act of 2022, amends the Public Health Service Act to authorize a public education campaign across all relevant programs of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to increase oral health literacy and awareness.

The campaign will communicate directly with specific populations, such as children, pregnant women, the elderly, and ethnic and racial minority groups, in a culturally- and linguistically-appropriate manner. The bill also requires the Secretary to measure the outcomes and effectiveness of the campaign and submit a report to Congress within 3 years of enactment. The bill authorizes $750,000 for each of the fiscal years 2023 through 2027 to carry out the campaign.
