The county also recently lost its only dentist, according to the report. Dr. Juhl, who first brought his practice to Bloomfield in 1979, plans to retire. 

Dr. Juhl has been searching for a buyer to take over his practice for the last six years, without luck. Unless a buyer steps in, the town will be left without eyecare services.
