Welcome to our Dental Practice!


COVID-19 Update.......

CHCFC Dental ​at Baystate Franklin Medical Center
is temporarily closed until further notice as we undergo
renovations and expansion


Urgent dental walk in care is temporarily suspended at both Greenfield locations

Dental Sites
The Community Health Center of Franklin County has two offices where you can receive your dental care, both located in downtown Greenfield. We have a Dental Clinic located at 102 Main St and another at 164 High Street inside the Baystate Franklin Medical Center. Unfortunately, our offices in Baystate Medical Center are under renovation. Please check back for updates on re-opening and future operations. 

We are happily offering an alternative treatment using Silver Diamine Fluoride which, when appropriate, can provide a pain free alternative treatment option for some cases of tooth decay. Read below for more information.

Safety upgrades due to COVID in our dental department

An exciting day in our dental department in Greenfield! A total of 5 dental rooms were given glass doors to allow our dental team to expand the care being offered while COVID concerns still persist. Some dental treatment creates a mist or droplets, so we have taken these steps to protect our patients and staff and continue to offer the greatest extent of care possible.

                             before arriving in person for urgent care
.

Oral Maxillofacial Surgeon
 I was very inspired by Dr. Szal's life, work and approach to care - what an amazing individual. I loved the spirit of not accepting an unfair status quo, and doing everything - EVERYTHING - to provide the best care possible. Down to spinning the patients blood to create a fibrin patch to repair their bone because this person was in dire need, or staying late on Saturdays to treat patients and offering mouth sculpting so that folks could get life changing dentures. I think many in that position would say 'its too much to ask'; or 'it can't be done, I don't have the resources"; and that Dr. Szal wouldn't accept that as okay was so inspiring.
