Philadelphia FIGHT Family Dentistry

Philadelphia FIGHT Family Dentistry provides accessible dental care as part of Philadelphia FIGHT's community health mission, operating from the 4th Floor at 1207 Chestnut St, Philadelphia, PA 19107. Philadelphia FIGHT is a federally qualified health center (FQHC) founded to serve individuals living with HIV/AIDS and the broader underserved communities of Philadelphia, and its dental program extends affordable, comprehensive dental care to the patient population it serves.

The dental program delivers preventive and restorative dental care on a sliding-fee scale, ensuring that dental access is not determined solely by ability to pay. Affordable dental care and family dental care are core to the program's service model. Dental care for patients living with HIV requires clinical attention to the oral manifestations of HIV disease and medication side effects — including dry mouth, oral candidiasis, and periodontal disease — areas where the clinical staff have direct experience and training.

Services include comprehensive oral examinations, professional cleanings, radiographic imaging, composite fillings for cavity treatment, extractions, and preventive care suited to patients with complex medical backgrounds. The FIGHT dental team coordinates with other FIGHT health services including primary care, infectious disease, and behavioral health, supporting the whole-patient approach that defines FIGHT's integrated care model.

Chestnut Street at 1207 in Center City East is served by SEPTA's Market-Frankford Line at 8th and 11th Street stations and by multiple bus routes, making the clinic accessible from across the Philadelphia metropolitan area. Philadelphia FIGHT Family Dentistry is a mission-driven dental resource for underserved Philadelphians — including patients living with HIV and those in need of affordable, integrated dental care in the 19107 community.
