  1. Five Ways to Show Dad You Care from The Staff at Jon Frankel Dentistry

    Research has shown over and over again that a Healthy Mouth promotes a Healthy Body but how do you get Dad to the Dentist? The Staff at Toledo, Ohio dentist, Jon Frankel’s office have five great suggestions.

    • Schedule a dental appointment for a grandchild. Have Granddad take the well informed, enthusiastic patient. Young patients often show the way for hesitant adults. We have seen several Grandparents who came in at a suggestion from their grandkids.

    • Remind your Dad to use his well earned insurance benefits before retirement. We hear regrets about lost benefits daily.

    • Have a serious conversation if you suspect dental disease. Health disease, stroke, diabetes, pancreatic cancer and Alzheimer’s Disease have a strong correlation to dental and oral health. It may be a difficult chat but a healthy mouth promotes a healthy body.

    • Give Dad a gift certificate to see his dentist. Often scheduling the first visit is all it takes to motivate patients to revive healthy habits.

    • Remind Dads who snore that dentists offer an oral appliance that prevents snoring. You will all sleep better knowing your Father’s oral health is in check and his snoring has subsided.

    Dr. Sheldon Frankel often jokes, “Only floss the teeth you wanted to keep.” An indication of how deeply he cares for our patients is evident when our patients of 60 years up come in for their regular preventative visits. Dr. Frankel is 92 years young and his son Jon Frankel and daughter Karen Kearns continue the family tradition of caring for patients. They offer three ways your dentist care for fathers.

    • Complete needed dental care and continue with preventative visits. Heart Disease is the number one reason for death in men in the United States. Dental Visits promote heart health.
    • Schedule regular preventative visits. Nearly 42,000 Americans will be diagnosed with oral cancer this year. Survival rates depend on early detection.
    • Whiten Dad’s Teeth. A healthy mouth promotes a healthy body. Once Dad’s smile is healthy. Let us whiten his teeth. We have found patients who whiten their teeth, care for their teeth. It’s all about a healthy smile.

  1. Toledo Dentist Frankel – Take Care of Baby -Three Top Tips regarding Baby Teeth

    • Show the way!
    Baby teeth are essential guideposts for permanent teeth. Misaligned permanent teeth can be caused by losing a primary or baby tooth too early. Holding the space with a fixed appliance can help. Retaining the baby tooth as the permanent tooth develops underneath allows the primary tooth root to melt away and is ideal.

    • Not So White!
    Baby Teeth are composed differently than the permanent adult teeth. They appear whiter and brighter. Permanent Teeth erupt with thicker levels of underlying dentin. They are naturally a tad darker. If your child notices assure her/him it is of no concern.

    • All Grown Up!

    Losing a baby tooth can be a big deal. Each child has a unique response. Some will hold on to that barely attached tooth for as long as they possibly can. Others will wiggle and tug at the remaining shell of a tooth until it is successfully set free. For all it is an opportunity for autonomy and a reminder of home care for the newly erupted Adult Teeth. It is a new and serious responsibility. A life long beautiful and healthy smile requires regular visits to the dentist and daily home care.

    Six Tips from the Staff at Jon Frankel Dentistry
    for the
    Perfect Smile on your Wedding Day

    Schedule a Comprehensive Exam and X-rays.
    A healthy smile is a beautiful smile. Swollen gums and decay are not only unsightly they challenge overall health. The first step toward a perfect wedding smile is a thorough check-up.

    Follow up with necessary Dental Treatment.
    Teeth cleaning on a regular schedule at least every six months and restoration of decayed and broken teeth are important toward dental, oral and overall health. It is a proactive way to ward off wedding day dental emergencies

    Remove Wisdom Teeth.
    Third molars or wisdom teeth are often misaligned or stuck behind functioning molars. Difficult to clean they are a source of decay and gum infection. There is generally just not enough room to accommodate wisdom teeth. It is common for wisdom teeth to flair up during times of stress and intense activity. Keep your special day stress and discomfort free. Have your wisdom teeth extracted months or years before your wedding.

    Get it Straight.
    There are a variety of ways to straighten teeth including Invisalign, Traditional Orthodontics, Bonding or Cosmetic Veneers. Scheduling a Cosmetic Consultation with an experienced Dentist or Dental Specialist well in advance of your wedding will allow time to consider the options and create your personal plan to design the perfect smile for your wedding.

    Hate the Shape.
    Chipped, Stained and misshaped teeth can be beautifully transformed in just two weeks with Porcelain Veneers. Schedule a cosmetic consultation with an experienced dentist. Ask for a cosmetic imaging to view your new smile before treatment begins. Although the process takes just two weeks schedule in advance to allow for basic dental preventative care especially if it has been a while since your last visit.

    Make it White.
    Whiter teeth are lovely and perfect for your wedding day. There are a variety of teeth whitening systems. At home whitening, in-office whitening such as BriteSmile or Zoom and for deeply stained teeth KOR Whitening a system that encompasses both at home and in office procedures. Schedule a cosmetic consultation and ask for a before and after imaging of your “Wedding White” smile.

  1. Ohio Dentist, Jon Frankel : Five Ways Parents Can Keep their Children Decay-Free


    Start Young

    We have found that each child is different. Parents know best when their child will enjoy a first dental visit. The age ranges from 2 to 4 years old. Early quick health checks may begin as young as 9 months to 1 year but the best first visit experience is when the child feels part of the process.

    Brush and Floss your Children’s Teeth Daily

    As soon as a tooth peaks through the gum tissue it should be kept clean. Some parents find using gauze or a baby wash cloth the easiest way to keep an infant’s teeth clean. Brushing and flossing your child’s teeth at least twice daily is a lifelong gift. It establishes a healthy habit. A healthy mouth promotes a healthy body.

    Watch DVDs and Read Books about Visiting the Dentist

    The local library offers books and DVDs on visiting the dentist. Familiarizing your child with what to expect helps create trust. Often our “well-read” children walk in as if they have visited the dentist for years!

    Watch What You Say

    Don’t let your past mar your child’s future. Stories about dental visits heard by someone with no context can give the wrong impression about dental care. Stop friends and family mid-story if necessary. Counter with a pleasant experience or refer to the books you and your child have read or videos you watched together about visiting the dentist.

    Watch Your Words

    Children do not need to be brave. Dental visits are fun no courage is required. If you mention the doctor won’t hurt you. They will only hear and feel the word, hurt. Words like pull, shot and drill send the wrong message. Dental staff use remove for pull, make numb or put to sleep for shot, dental hand-piece instead of drill.

    Today’s dental visits are fun and rewarding. Our young patients watch television
    throughout their visit. We have been told that our after visit toy chest can’t be beat!

  1. Toledo Dentist Jon Frankel has Tongues Wagging

    Jon Frankel, a Toledo, Ohio dentist focuses on three ways to a Healthy Mouth which in turn promote a Healthy Body.

    1. Schedule regular dental visits (minimally twice a year) including comprehensive exams, dental maintenance and correction of dental issues.
    2. Use proper home health care including brushing and flossing your teeth and scraping your tongue.
    3. Maintain a healthy lifestyle eating well balanced meals, exercising and sleeping adequately.

    Yes. Scrape the tongue. Every day

    Bacteria form on the tongue as well as the teeth. Brushing the tongue is helpful but not as effective as scraping. There are several varieties of tongue scrapers. The most effective are metal or plastic blades with or without a serrated edge. They are dishwasher safe.

    Scraping your tongue the first time can be unsettling. The thick mucous like bacteria is easily rinsed off the tongue scraper. Dr. Frankel recommends using a tongue scraper at least once a day. Many patients have found tooth brushing, flossing and tongue scraping first thing in the morning and last thing at night bring the best results.

  1. Toledo Dentist, Jon Frankel, supports Carlos Diaz Broadcasting Scholarship

    Local Bowling Green Student wins $1000
    Dr. Frankel Broadcasting Scholarship to be trained by Carlos Diaz

    Bowling Green State University Broadcasting major, Lauren Downey (20), recently received the $1000 Dr. Frankel Broadcasting Scholarship to attend Carlos Diaz Broadcasting Consulting in Indianapolis, Indiana. Founded by Carlos Diaz and Paul Mpistolarides, this school focuses on helping future broadcasters understand the field and build valuable skills that will be utilized in the future.
    In a letter to Dr. Jon Frankel and his wife, Niki, Lauren thanked the Frankel family for their generosity saying, “your contribution of this scholarship is held with the utmost respect and will be used to the best of my ability.” Since beginning the program, Lauren has already had the opportunity to shoot stand-ups in some of at some of the most well-known Indianapolis landmarks and has also interviewed a prominent owner and former driver in the Indy Car Racing League. She believes that the “CDBC is getting me several steps closer to becoming the sports broadcaster I want to be, and this scholarship is a huge reason why I am able to attend.”
    Dr. Frankel and Niki are thrilled that Lauren is the inaugural recipient of the scholarship. “Niki and I realize that Carlos Diaz Broadcasting Consulting is more than about simply teaching the art of broadcasting,” said Dr. Frankel. “It’s about teaching young people how to truly utilize the inner confidence that they will need to succeed in all aspects of their life. We applaud Carlos and Paul, who are adding to their already busy schedules by giving back and assisting young people in realizing their dreams,” Dr. Frankel continued.
    According to Paul Mpistolarides, “Lauren has tons of potential. She has a vast knowledge of auto racing, which is also where I started my career. If she continues on the same ‘track,’ she will have no problem working in her field of choice for years to come.”
    “Lauren’s dedication is second to none,” said Carlos Diaz. “She gets it. Her willingness to learn and the fact that she gets along with everybody are two of the biggest reasons for her immediate success at CDBC. I have no doubt she will be working as a NASCAR television personality one day.”
