Bangor, Maine-based Penobscot Community Health Care has opened a new dental center in Belfast, Maine.
The Seaport Dental Center will provide routine dental services in addition to acute cases and walk-in patients, according to a May 29 report from Maine Public Broadcasting Network.
A $1.3 million federal grant and more than $640,000 in donations helped to fund the eight-chair center.
Prior to the center’s opening, there was only one dentist for every 5,700 residents in Waldo County, Maine, the report said.
