Agape Clinic, a nonprofit organization providing healthcare services to underserved communities, has opened a new dental center in Dallas.
The location at 4104 Junius Street in Dallas officially opened on September 28 and has since grown exponentially, according to their executive director Paul Hoffman.
“The first week there were about 20 patients. Now we are seeing about 20 patients a day for dental care,” Hoffman said. “Having quality access to dental care is a necessity and there are so many people in our community who just don’t have the insurance or the money to be able to afford much-needed procedures and care.”
The dental center currently operates with two part-time dentists and will expand to two full-time dentists and one part-time dentist later this fall. This team is supported by six additional dental staff members, including a hygienist, dental assistants, and a dental receptionist.
