SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – Residents in need of dental care in Springfield will have the chance to receive free services at Springfield Technical Community College (STCC) on May 3.
The 7th annual Community Dental Day, organized by STCC’s Dental Sciences Department, will be held from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in Building 20. The event will offer a variety of services, including health screenings, patient education, diagnosis, X-rays, and limited treatments such as fillings, extractions, sealants, and assessments for urgent dental issues. However, while professional cleanings will not be available, attendees who require one can schedule a low-cost follow-up appointment at STCC’s dental clinic.
The dental services will be provided by licensed dentists from the Valley District Dental Society, along with STCC dental hygiene and assisting students.
Christopher Scott, Dean of the School of Health and Patient Simulation at STCC, emphasized the importance of the event, stating, “Community Dental Day is a vital initiative that allows us to serve those in need while giving our students valuable hands-on experience. We encourage anyone in the community who requires dental care to take advantage of this free service. By partnering with local professionals, we are ensuring that individuals receive quality dental care while also preparing our students for successful careers in the field.”
