The Carroll County Health Department dental clinic in Westminster, Md., reopened after going nearly a year without a dentist, The Baltimore Sun reported Nov. 22.
The Carroll County Health Department dental clinic serves children, pregnant and postpartum women and young adults under Medicaid.
The clinic closed last December after losing its dentist, but it has since hired Alva Smith, DDS.
The clinic also hired a new office manager, which will allow Dr. Smith to focus solely on patient care.
