Happy New Year!

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012

Happy New Year to all of our patients, colleagues, friends, and followers!!!   We hope that you had a wonderful holiday season – but  even if you never made it to the “ball drop” at New York’s Time Square, make sure that you don’t drop the ball on your dental treatment this coming year, 2012.

We have a number of new techniques and products that we will be “featuring” in 2012, both dental and non-dental. Included among them are Oraverse (that reverses the numbness from injections),  nitrous oxide (laughing gas for patients with dental anxiety), thinner and stronger porcelain veneers (both Lumineers and Dental Ceramic veneers), and even an iPad for the reception area!

It is our intention that these and other innovations will keep you smiling all year long!

“Watch Your Mouth – Treating the Anxious Patient”

Thursday, October 21st, 2010

We’re so pleased that so many of you have taken the time to let us know that you watched and enjoyed the PBS special “Watch Your Mouth” that was produced here in Cleveland by WVIZ/Ideastream. It has been archived by the PBS station and can be found on the WVIZ/Ideastream website.

The segment that features our patient Ms. Jamie Francis undergoing care in our office is in part 1 – “Treating the Anxious Patient“.  Did you know as many as 20% of of patients who don’t make regular visits to the dentist cite fear as the primary reason? As you will hear in the video, for many people the fear comes from the needle, pain and fear of the unknown. To alleviate this fear, Dr. Marsh has turned to the “show, tell, do” technique of communication. This type of communication is the #1 method of relieving anxiety.

Communication can also play a role in the overall health of a patient. Most of our patients mentioned that they were unaware of the role that oral bacteria (“biofilms”) plays in their overall health  until they watched the show. Speaking with patients, communicating with patients via the web and videos has helped our patients gain a greater appreciation for the role our dental hygienists play!

Thanks again for watching our “Watch Your Mouth” segment…

Novacain Reversal, Digital Impressions & Skype Make Dental Visits Easier!

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Hey everyone, I have very exciting news. The segment that NBC-Channel 3 News anchor Monica Robins filmed at our office on advances in dentistry went national. It was picked up by local networks and shown around the country!

In our efforts to make dental visits easier on our patients, we have employed some very advanced products and technologies. The segment on NBC featured the use of Oraverse to reverse the affects of novacaine, making digital impressions with the Itero machine and the use of Skype to communicate with dental labs.
To see how we can make Dental Visits Easier for you, see our video on the Appearances page of our site.
