Not too long ago one of our patients sent us a note regarding our diagnosis of his wife’s cancer, which I picked up on a routine screening of her mouth and tongue. He credits the diagnosis as “saving his wife’s life.”
As we often point out, cancer screening is one more reason it is so important for our patients to keep their regular appointments. Even though we may be known as one of Cleveland’s leading dental offices for general and cosmetic dentistry, we make cancer screening part of every hygiene exam, along with a periodontal examination and search for decay and broken fillings.
We wish our patient a healthy recovery following both surgery and radiation therapy for her oral cancer.

Who is Angie and what is her list?
Angie’s List is one of the most reputable and comprehensive service provider lists online. Companies can’t pay to be on Angie’s List, they have to be accepted based on referrals from real customers.
So starting in the next month or so, we’ll be one of the featured dentist offices in Cleveland on Angie’s List. After being listed in Cleveland Magazine as one of Cleveland’s “Top Dentists of 2011,” and being recommended to Angie’s List by a number of our patients, we were asked to join a select group of general/cosmetic dentist offices with a presence on their website www.Angieslist.com. We appreciate the support given to us by our patients and will also try our best to earn and keep your trust!

As we move into the fall season, with the Cleveland Indians and Cleveland Browns both in action, we’re reminded that it’s a good idea for our athletes to wear mouth guards when they, too, are at play – whether for baseball, football, or even weightlifting. They can be custom-made in our office with the help of a good impression in the colors of your favorite team. But if you can’t make it in, the “boil and bite” guards, found in sporting goods stores like Dick’s are a fairly good substitute. Please let us know if we can help!

In a letter we received on August 1st, we were honored to find out that we have been selected by a vote of our peers to be included in the list of “Top Cleveland Dentists” which will be published in the October issue of “Cleveland Magazine.” The honor is shared with our wonderful staff, including Afsaneh, Karin, Amy, Marilyn, Suzanne, and Wendy, as well as part-timers Shirley, Barbara, and Jill; as you might expect, it is especially gratifying. And, of course, we couldn’t have done it without you, our patients!!

 Connie Korosec Our patient and friend Ursuline College Fashion, Design, and Merchandising Chair Connie Korosec is featured in this month’s “Cleveland Business Connects” magazine’s 50th issue. She brought a number of Ursuline students with her when she visited the Republic of Malawi in southeast Africa to help teach students in an 800 pupil school how to sew. According to Connie, it was a life-changing mission, both for her and the group from Ursuline as well as the students from Malawi. (On a dental note, she let us know, through her daughter Jill, that when she was photographed for the magazine, the first thing the photographer said upon meeting her was that he “loved her smile!’).

With school rapidly approaching (Summer always seems to go by so quickly, doesn’t it?), we have some appointment times reserved for your children and grandchildren… and for teachers, too! Just let us know when and we’ll do our best to get them/you in to see us. And speaking of teachers, our patient Sara Logan did a marvelous job on WKYC/Channel 3’s Golden Opportunities.
Please remember that we begin our day at 7am, Monday through Friday, for those of you who like to get in and out before you start your regular day. Call Karin or Afsaneh so that they can help you out!

In order to accommodate all of our patients, family, and friends, your office here at ClevelandSmiles is fortunate to have a number of very capable and enthusiastic dental hygienists. They include Amy B., who has been with us on a full-time basis for seven years, and Barbara G., and Jill O., who work with us a couple of days per week. All three women have excellent skills, training and provide wonderful care. If you would like to see one of them in particular, please let Afsaneh and Karin know so that we may fulfill your request. Having such a wonderful staff is especially important during this time of year when students are home from school.
Speaking of school, and colleges in particular, we are proud of a number of high school seniors who have graduated and, in some cases, are moving on to college. Miami University (my undergraduate alma mater) and The Ohio State University (where I attended dental school) are popular choices, though we also have patients who were accepted to schools including Princeton and Duke. Our congratulations go out to all the graduates!

When summer comes around, and our high school and college students are on break, I always get a lot of questions about wisdom teeth and whether or not they should be extracted/”come out.” Each patient/case should be looked at on an individual basis, though in general, I am conservative on their removal. Factors that need to be looked at include:
- The age and health of the patient
- Room in the arch
- The angle of eruption – or non-eruption – on teeth that are impacted (i.e. unable to come in due to being blocked by adjacent teeth)
- The position of the mandibular nerve (that runs below and/or adjacent to the wisdom tooth)
- The bone and tissue surrounding the tooth
If you have any questions, or would like yourself or your student to be evaluated, please call our office at 1-440-461-1003 or contact us here and let us know.

We’ve received some nice feedback on our newsletter (where we highlighted our blogs). We would welcome any thoughts on topics we might cover here or in future newsletters on our office and your Cleveland dental care.
An item we mentioned in “Smile Update” was our new flatscreen monitors in the treatment and reception rooms. They are DVD capable, so we are able to watch anything from dental techniques, which we have shown on NBC/Channel 3’s “Golden Opportunities,” “Good Company,” and their brand-new Saturday morning show “It’s About You!” to movies and TV shows for longer appointments. Just let us know what you would like to watch!
