1. Thankful for your trust.

   Jan 11 2022

   Happy Twenty Twenty-Tooth! The new year is here and our team is back in the office changing lives a smile at a time! As we prepare to take on the year ahead, we like to come back to where it all started with our core values. Always Better, Serve All, and G.E.T, gratitude, encouragement, and thankfulness. 

   After careful thought and consideration, we have decided to make a slight change. Thankfulness is now trust. 

   Frankel Dentistry is built on trust. Patients’ trust in us and our trust in one another.

   • 

   Our last 75 years of dedication to the Toledo and Maumee community would not be possible without patients’ belief in us. Studies have shown trust in healthcare providers is linked to improved patient experience and health outcomes. Ultimately we are here to create the best dental care experience for everyone who walks into our office. When it comes to teamwork, trust often provides greater successes and growth both personally and professionally. Our practice is grateful to work with healthcare providers, doctors, and staff who make us feel encouraged and trusted.

   Frankel Dentistry is looking forward to 2022 being filled with gratitude, encouragement, and trust. Thank you Toledo for placing your trust in us.

1. Rooster Hijacks Ride to Frankel Dentistry

   Dec 27 2021

   

   Being located only a mile South from the state line and beautiful Michigan farm lands, Frankel Dentistry is no stranger to farmers and their families. However, this chilly December afternoon, we had a visitor we’ve never seen before. 

   It was a calm day in the office just like any other. Our front desk receptionist welcomed patients as something odd caught her eye. “Maybe, I’m just seeing things” she thought to herself, when once again a red flash dashed across the glass office door. 

   A comedy ensued. The patient had no idea her rooster had hijacked a ride with her to Frankel Dentistry. Once alerted, an event mirroring the keystone cops of yesteryear began. The escapee rooster’s owner, Dr. Greiss, Madison, and Megan were zigzagging across the parking lot. The clever bird had the edge for longer than one might hope. Eventually cornered and corralled, the rooster was defeated but safe. The now seasoned dentist, hygienist, assistant, and patient returned to changing lives a smile at a time through dentistry. 

   

   Frankel Dentistry has offered the best dental experience for 75 years. It is easy to see why they have been awarded the Best of Toledo Dental by the readers of City Paper for 11 years. They are more than dental professionals. They are family, friends, and when needed farmers.

1. CrazZzy Sock Drive

   Dec 13 2021

   Tis the season!

   Giving Tuesday is a newer holiday that originated in 2012 to encourage people to do good.

   This holiday falls on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving. Giving Tuesday is the kick off for the giving season!

   As you know, Frankel Dentistry loves spirit days. Meaningful spirit days are even more remarkable! This year our office participated in CrazZzy Sock Day to kick off our gifting season. Giving back to the community is especially magical during the holidays. All December we will be collecting new, unused socks to be donated to a local non-profit here in Northwest Ohio! 

   

   Hannah’s Socks is a non-profit organization whose mission is to donate socks to the less fortunate in homeless and domestic violence shelters. Did you know that socks and undergarments are the most needed, yet least donated items? Together we can make a difference.

   We have been changing lives a smile at a time since 1946. We want to continue to serve through beautiful smiles and warm toes! Supporting local and giving back to those in need has always been important to us. We are grateful to come together and serve all in our community in a variety of ways.

1. Gratitude Always.

   Nov 23 2021

   Gratitude Always. It has been quite a year for Frankel Dentistry. We have watched our spirits, team, and leadership grow immensely. With gratitude being one of our Core Values, we find it even more imperative to express gratitude for the big and small during this season. 

   One thing we can always be thankful for is our team. 

   Not only do we have the best patients, but the best team. 

   

   A positive workplace encourages productivity and inspires drive in all individuals. I’d love to thank our team for being focused on their goals, providing the best patient care, exercising strong communication, and always going above and beyond in their department as well as others. 

   We are grateful to build and grow with a driven, dedicated, and passionate team. Changing Lives a Smile at a Time is even more meaningful with people who uplift you and push us to be the best! So to all of our Frankel Dentistry teams -thank you, we are grateful for each and everyone of you.  Happy Thanksgiving!

   There are dozens of habits and behaviors which may contribute to mouth cancer development but we’re here to bring awareness to the signs and help encourage preventative care.

1. Where is your floss?

   Oct 13 2021

   Dental floss, you know what it is, but do you use it?

   

   Flossing is the most effective way to remove bacteria plaque and food from in between your teeth. Technique is as important as frequency. Here’s what we know.

   -Floss your teeth as least once every 24 hours.

   -Do not see-saw back and forth against the gums.

   -Pull the floss tight against the tooth.

   -Gently slide the floss up and down the length of the tooth.

   

   The patients at Frankel Dentistry have shared a few valuable hints regarding their use of dental floss.

   -Find a floss you like. Some of our favorites are Cocofloss, Dr. Tung’s, Glide and Expanding or stretchy floss.

   -Use a mirror. Several patients prefer magnified cosmetic mirrors.

   -Make it a habit.

   -Enjoy a healthier smile.
