The Temple University Kornberg School of Medicine is planning a dental clinic and education center in Tamaqua, Pa.
The rural dental center will host 10 third-year and fourth-year dental students, who will be supervised by licensed dentists, according to a Feb. 4 news release from the university.
Rural populations often have the worst access to dental care, with 40% of adults in rural areas not having visited a dentist in the past year, according to a report from the CareQuest Institute for Oral Health.
