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.
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!

The day my extended family went to the Ohio State Fair. I was 12 years old.
Lindsay Stanley is great at everything she does according to guy-friend Collin. We agree. She is an amazing Dental Hygienist, was quickly promoted to a Co-Team Leader position and working toward licensure as an Expanded Function Dental Assistant.
Lindsay loves to make a difference in patients’ lives. Showing a patient with dental anxiety there is nothing to fear or bringing a neglected unhealthy mouth to full repair are hallmarks of Lindsay’s innate talent and skill. Her patients look forward to visits and often bring her gifts! She has helped many patients regain not just their confidence but their dental health.
Always attracted to a medical career she credits her orthodontist for introducing her to dentistry. She readily admits she is obsessed with teeth and we are thrilled she is.
In an age when marriages seem to have a past due date, it is refreshing and inspiring to know that love can last. Today, Frankel Dentistry’s founding father, Dr. Sheldon Frankel, and his wife, Ervine, celebrate their 71st wedding anniversary.
Married on this date in 1944 in Toledo, their four children, Karen Kearns, Barbara Frankel- Wexler, Rabbi Jerry Frankel, and Dr. Jon Frankel are a testament to a beautiful union.
After seven decades of marriage, Ervine references her handsome husband and his once full head of beautiful red hair to which he replies, “I love you, Ervine.” Of course she responds, “I love you too, Shelly.”
The Frankel Dentistry team would like to congratulate Dr. Sheldon and Ervine on this milestone. Thank you for being an inspiration to many. Happy Anniversary!
Dr. Frankel often says “a healthy mouth promotes a healthy body.”
This statement rang true today when our manager of dental hygiene, Debbie, came in to work during her vacation because caring for our dental family is what we do best!
