Convenient Access from Cash
Getting to Stone Street Dental takes about 12 minutes from the heart of the community, and the drive is almost all one road. For anyone weighing a dentist in Cash, TX, our office on Stonewall St in Greenville is a straight shot north on State Highway 34. Checkups, fillings, extractions, root canals and urgent visits are all handled in that one building, so your household keeps a single chart with a single team.
With no city hall to start from, the volunteer fire station where SH 34 meets FM 1564 makes a good starting line. Turn onto SH 34 and drive due north for a little over seven miles while the pastures give way to Greenville. At Joe Ramsey Boulevard East, where US 69 and US 380 share the road, turn right, then bear left almost immediately onto Stonewall Street.
That run from the fire station measures 7.6 miles and takes around 12 minutes, with no tolls and only two turns at the very end. Our door is at 4613 Stonewall St, Greenville, TX 75401, and you can pin Stone Street Dental in Google Maps before your first trip. Homes closer to the old crossroads south of the station simply add a couple of minutes on the same highway.
Starting from the east side of the community, you will pass the office of the Cash Special Utility District on FM 1564 East. Neighbors farther down SH 34 in Quinlan and families just outside Greenville in Mineral Heights visit the same office. Rush hour on the north end of the highway can stretch the drive a little, so a mid-morning slot tends to be the smoothest.
Cash Neighbors, Greenville Chairs: How We Fit Together
The community has always been a gathering point for farm families in the south-central part of Hunt County. The settlement began in the mid-1890s under the name Sylvia. When residents asked to rename it Money, after storekeeper John A. Money, postal officials turned the request down and offered Cash instead, and a post office opened under that name in 1895.
It never formed a town government of its own, and SH 34 already carries plenty of residents north to Greenville for work, school and shopping. A dental visit fits naturally into a trip you were going to make for groceries or school pickup anyway.
School loyalties are split, too. Depending on the address, local students attend Boles ISD, Greenville ISD or Quinlan ISD, which means two kids on the same county road can ride different buses. Our office sits in the middle of that map, and the age we start seeing children, 10 years old, lines up with the upper grades in all three districts.
What rural families tend to value most is continuity. Our staff has been together for years and brings more than 15 years of combined experience, so the voice that answers the phone this spring will probably be the same one you hear next winter. For people who would rather not explain their history to a new face every visit, that steadiness counts.
Rural Living and Your Teeth: Practical Notes for Cash
Life in open country rewards people who fix small things before they turn into big ones. Teeth work the same way. A chipped edge or a filling that catches floss is easy to ignore when the nearest dentist is a highway drive away, yet those small flaws are exactly where decay starts.
Twice-yearly cleanings and exams are the simplest way to stay ahead. During a checkup, our intraoral camera puts a magnified picture of each tooth on a screen beside the chair, so you see the same crack or stain the dentist sees. Decisions get easier when the evidence is right in front of you.
Outdoor work and weekend projects bring their share of surprises, from a cracked molar on a hard seed to a tooth knocked loose by a gate latch. When something breaks, call as early in the day as you can. We make every effort to see you the same day you call, and a 12-minute drive means you can be in the chair soon after we find an opening.
Our schedule runs Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM. We are closed on Wednesdays and weekends, so a problem that starts on a Saturday is best handled with a call first thing Monday. Many patients from the area like an 8 AM appointment that gets them back on the road before the workday is in full swing.
Some adults from small communities have gone years between dental visits, and walking back in can feel uncomfortable. We offer nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation for anxious patients, and the first conversation can happen before anyone picks up an instrument. Starting again is always easier than people expect.
Infections that reach the nerve of a tooth are one of the most common reasons for an urgent visit. In many cases a root canal followed by a crown saves the tooth, and our CBCT 3D imaging shows the shape of the roots before treatment begins. When a tooth truly cannot be saved, the extraction and the replacement plan are both handled in the same office.
Bleeding gums are easy to shrug off after a long day outdoors, yet they are often the first sign of gum disease. A deep cleaning followed by regular maintenance visits usually brings things back under control. We check the gum line at every exam, so a problem is caught while it is still simple to manage.
Care Built for Anyone Needing a Dentist in Cash, TX
Emergency Dentistry
Toothaches, broken fillings and swollen gums get priority on our schedule. Because SH 34 runs straight to Stonewall Street, patients along that highway can usually make it in quickly once we have a time.
Preventive Dentistry
Exams, x-rays and thorough dental cleanings keep small problems small. Pairing a checkup with a regular errand into Greenville means no special trip.
Restorative Dentistry
Tooth-colored fillings, crowns, bridges and root canals all happen in our office. A worn tooth can be rebuilt without sending you to another town for each step.
Sedation Dentistry
Nitrous oxide takes the edge off a routine visit, and oral conscious sedation helps with longer appointments. It suits anyone who has put off care because of nerves.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Whitening, cosmetic crowns and smile makeovers are options once your teeth are healthy. Many patients start thinking about appearance after a long-overdue cleaning brightens things up.
A first appointment usually starts with a conversation about what brought you in, followed by x-rays and an exam. Dr. Garrad then sorts any needed work by urgency, so the most pressing problem is handled first and the rest can be spaced around your calendar and budget. Nothing is scheduled until you understand the plan and feel comfortable with it.
Meet Your Greenville Dentist
Volunteering at a small North Dallas medical and dental clinic is what steered Dr. Alison K. Garrad, DDS into dentistry, after earlier work in logistics and pharmaceuticals. She completed her undergraduate studies at Stanford University before dental school. Patients notice that she explains each option in plain terms and lets them set the pace.
Insurance & Financing
Households without dental coverage can join our In-Office Dental Membership Plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Stone Street Dental from Cash, and how do I get there?
From the Cash Fire Department the office is 7.6 miles away, about a 12-minute drive. Head north on SH 34 into Greenville, turn right on Joe Ramsey Boulevard East, then bear left onto Stonewall Street. That simple route is a big reason people who want a dentist in Cash, TX find the trip so easy to repeat.
Cash is not an incorporated town, so which address do I give when I call?
Give us your usual mailing address, whatever town name it carries. The community has no post office of its own, and local landmarks such as the fire station and the water district office use Greenville addresses. We only need the address for your chart and billing, and the drive itself stays the same simple run up SH 34.
My kids go to Boles, Greenville and Quinlan schools between them; can they all be seen here?
Yes, as long as each child is at least 10 years old. School district makes no difference to us. Siblings from different campuses can be booked back to back on the same morning, so one drive up SH 34 covers the whole family instead of three separate trips.
Who supplies water in Cash, and does it change my dental routine?
The Cash Special Utility District, a public water utility, serves the area. Your water source does not change the basics: brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily and keep up with checkups. If you drink mostly well or bottled water, mention it at your visit so the dentist has the full picture.
Why is the community called Cash?
Because the postal service refused the name Money. Residents first wanted to honor storekeeper John A. Money, and officials substituted Cash instead. The place had begun as Sylvia in the 1890s, and the post office opened in 1895 with Money himself as postmaster.
