The Missouri Health Department is opening its first dental clinic in Dade County Oct. 15, according to local NBC affiliate KY3 News.
Most residents have to drive more than 30 miles for a dental appointment. The county currently has one dentist, but the practice doesn't accept Medicaid or certain insurances, Pamela Allen, a Dade County health department employee told KY3 News.
Ms. Allen said the new clinic will accept non-insured individuals, along with those with insurance or Medicaid.
