Atlantic City, N.J.-based AtlantiCare will open its first dental clinic in Atlantic City in February.
The practice is part of the health system's federally qualified health center program and aims to reduce the number of dental-related emergency department visits, according to a news release from the health system.
The new practice also supports the organization's commitment to providing holistic care, according to President and CEO Michael Charlton.
The 4,200-square-foot practice will include nine operatories and an on-site lab. The practice will also have two dentists, three dental assistants and two hygienists.
