Dental clinic
The Dental Clinic at the Health Center emphasizes patient education to prevent disease and provides treatment options when procedures are needed. Dental treatment is provided in the same non-threatening, responsive, and considerate manner that students have come to expect of all health care services at the Health Center.
The dental clinic is staffed by a dentist, a dental assistant, and a dental hygienist and provides basic dental services such as exams, cleaning, x-rays, simple restorations and education regarding good dental hygiene

According to the American Dental Association, nearly all dentists are in private practice. Specifically, it is estimated as many as three out of four dentists are solo practitioners.
Private practitioners work as licensed, self-employed dentists. Because of the relatively small size of the organization, patients usually get more personalized care from private practitioners.
Because there is no administrative structure, solo practitioners must oversee administrative tasks for the practice, including bookkeeping and procurement.

A hospital dental clinic operates as a division of a hospital group. Its dentists work directly for the hospital. These dental clinics usually are on hospital grounds or in annexed buildings near the hospital
For example, the Children's Hospital in Aurora, Colorado, operates the Children's Hospital Dental Center. The center provides pediatric dentistry services as well as a residency program for dentists in training.

Community health centers
Community health centers frequently provide dental services in addition to general health care services. These types of clinics serve a particular community or population and combine the efforts of hospitals, the government and the health care industry to provide its community members with adequate health care services. Often, such health centers receive federal funding to subsidize care for the poor and uninsured
Group Practices
Unlike private practices in which one dentist operates a clinic by himself, a group practice is an association of dental professionals. These professionals work together, sharing space and using the same equipment. Although care might be less personal than private practice, the presence of more dentists allows the practice to treat more patients and pool resources to buy more equipment and hire more staff.

Past Perfect Continuous
FUNCTIONS OF THE PAST PERFECT CONTINUOUS
USE 1 Duration Before Something in the Past
We use the Past Perfect Continuous to show that something started in the past and continued up until another time in the past. "For five minutes" and "for two weeks" are both durations which can be used with the Past Perfect Continuous. Notice that this is related to the Present Perfect Continuous; however, the duration does not continue until now, it stops before something else in the past.
USE 2 Cause of Something in the Past
Using the Past Perfect Continuous before another action in the past is a good way to show cause and effect.

FORMING THE PAST PERFECT CONTINUOUS
The past perfect continuous is composed of two elements - the past perfect of the verb to be (=had been) + the present participle (base+ing).
EXAMPLES
SHE HAD BEEN WORKING AT COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER FOR FOUR YEARS WHEN SHE WENT PRIVATE PRACTICE.
I HAD NOT BEEN VISITING DANTIST LONG TIME.
HOW LONG HAD YOU BEEN CLENING YOUR TEETH?

Past Continuous vs. Past Perfect Continuous
If you do not include a duration such as "for five minutes," "for two weeks" or "since Friday," many English speakers choose to use the Past Continuous rather than the Past Perfect Continuous. Be careful because this can change the meaning of the sentence. Past Continuous emphasizes interrupted actions, whereas Past Perfect Continuous emphasizes a duration of time before something in the past. Study the examples below to understand the difference.
Examples:
He was tired because he was exercising so hard.
This sentence emphasizes that he was tired because he was exercising at that exact moment.
He was tired because he had been exercising so hard.
This sentence emphasizes that he was tired because he had been exercising over a period of time. It is possible that he was still exercising at that moment OR that he had just finished.

REMEMBER Non-Continuous Verbs / Mixed Verbs
It is important to remember that Non-Continuous Verbs cannot be used in any continuous tenses. Also, certain non-continuous meanings forMixed Verbs cannot be used in continuous tenses. Instead of using Past Perfect Continuous with these verbs, you must use Past Perfect.
Examples:
The motorcycle had been belonging to George for years before Tina bought it. Not Correct
The motorcycle had belonged to George for years before Tina bought it. Correct
