The Interstate Center was converted into a large dental clinic. It had over 90 dental operatories set up to provide services; 36 chairs dedicated to doing basic dental procedures such as fillings, with 16 of those staffed by oral surgeons doing extractions; 18 chairs dedicated to cleanings; and eight pediatric operatories providing care for young children..............
