These identical twins can both be your dentist

February 8, 2019 By DentalBuzz Staff 6 Comments

 

The novelty of seeing someone’s face repeated on another human creates a positive moment of surprise that will be instantly apparent on your own face. Do you feel genuine happiness when you encounter the miracle of identical twins? Well, maybe there’s a dental practice in your area that will engage that joy, one that will take care of that big broad smile that they bring out of you every time you visit.

Duplicate Dentistry is what you’ll get with twins! At least that’s the general idea. Two individuals who chose the same path in life, right down to their profession and where they would live. It makes sense, though, that twins would find a sense of trust and companionship with one another enough to form a complimentary way to be in the world.

It’s pretty common for spouses to meet in college and then to build dental practices together, or for children to follow their parents’ leads and then join them as dentists in the towns where they were raised. Identical twin dentists practicing together is quite exceptional, and rare, which is a little surprising! As an identical twin,  it makes sense to weigh your natural clone’s career ideas along with those that you are considering. Then again, it’s a lot to ask someone to join you for eight years of college and then open up a business with you.

That’s exactly what these wonderful people have done, though. They are identical twins who work together to make dentistry a more enjoyable part of their patients’ lives. Keep reading to see if there are a set of twin dentists or orthodontists that are close enough for you to visit.

Dual Image Smiles

One of the taglines for this practice is “Laugh Frequently. Smile Proudly.” Dr. Salone, Dr. Lockhart, and the other doctor Lockhart (Lauren’s husband) have been providing family dental care and orthodontics in the Charlotte area with the high level of expertise that comes with the rigorous years of additional training they have all received in their professions. The twins were featured recently on a local morning show where they shared why their practice is a great dental home for all members of the family, from toddlers to grandparents. On their website, Dr. Lauren gives us a taste of what it’s like to be her patient. She states, “I love to laugh, I love to smile, and am excited to share these gifts with you!” If you’re lucky enough to live in the Charlotte, NC area, visit them in their office (a renovated house!) or schedule an appointment with them at DualImageSmiles.com.

Drs. John McLaren and Charles McLaren

 

McLaren Dental Associates

Some sets of identical twins can be harder to track down than others! Especially when they’re very humble about themselves. You would think that McLaren Dental would make it well-known that twin dentists would be caring for you! If it weren’t for this article written 15 years ago when the two took over an existing practice in Midland they may not have ever been included here. In the article’s interview, Charles echoes the feelings that many twins have about their lives together.  “I have yet to meet any brothers or sisters that are closer than us. That’s the way we grew up,” Charles said. “A lot of our decisions in life were at least in part based on what the other was doing. We’ve both had the same interests and skills. I’ve called him up before, and thought I was talking to myself.” They can be found at McLarenDental.com.

Drs. Pantea Nooraee and Kelara Gandy

 

Twins Family Dentistry

This is the first of THREE (!) sets of identical dental twins in Texas, located in the far north Dallas area of the state. If you don’t see them both on the same day, however, that’s because they now work from two locations in Frisco to make it even more convenient for their patients.  What’s it like to visit them? Here’s one reviewer’s take:  “Dr. Nooraee and Dr. Gandy are the pinnacle of dentistry, the office has state of the art technology, SUPER sweet staff and convenience is their specialty. (I don’t know who my dentist is as they really are twins) I think I like them both though.” You can request an appointment and more from their website at TwinsFamilyDentistry.com.

Drs. Kip Nielson and Cody Nielson

   

Starlight Dental and Orthodontics

Need a dentist (or two) that are fluent Spanish speakers and live in central Texas? It would be surprising to learn that the twins are both undergraduate Spanish majors, until you realized that their education was a continuation of the experience gained as each served as missionaries in Central America for two years. Dr. Kip’s time was spent in El Salvador, while Dr. Cody worked in Costa Rica. They both value building long-term relationships with their patients and providing a level of dental care that will endure as well. Dr. Kip shares his feelings about his work in this way: “l feel extremely blessed and fortunate to provide healthy and beautiful smiles to all those that l treat. I am thankful for the opportunity l have as a dentist to meet and serve so many wonderful people in the Austin area.”  You can read more about them at StarLightDentalAustin.com.

Drs. Austin Hodges and Patrick Hodges

Hodges and Hodges Orthodontics

Austin Hodges and Patrick Hodges are identical twin dentists with additional specialty training as orthodontists. Which means that while you won’t be able to visit them for your regular dental care, they can make sure that you and your family’s teeth are in the best possible position to enhance your smile. Their childhood orthodontist in Amarillo hired them once they both graduated from Texas A&M University, and after his retirement, they moved to a new office built on the family land that is shared by their dad’s veterinary practice. Dr. Austin and Dr. Patrick were drawn to dentistry as their profession after participating in mission trips to Mexico with local dentists and experiencing profound gratitude from the people they served during those visits. Why did they choose to practice together? In this recent Amarillo Globe-News interview, Patrick addressed the question. “It’s never been a plan that was set in stone, but we always thought it would be nice to work together. We were roommates for almost 30 years, so we figured we’d be pretty good (business) partners.” They now have three locations where Texas panhandle residents can get their teeth straightened.

Drs. Belinda Rhodes and Melinda Rhodes

Rhodes & Rhodes Family Dentistry

Meet BeBe and MeMe, the Rhodes twins who grew up in Sawyerville, Alabama. They’ve been practicing together in Tuscaloosa since 2013 and work with a loving group of dental staffers that know how to put patients first. Although they still practice under their original last name, both dentists are married, and enjoy spending their time serving their communities. After obtaining undergraduate degrees at Stillman College in Tuscaloosa, Belinda and Melinda earned their DDS degrees from The University of Michigan School of Dentistry.

Drs. Dave Rothan and Mike Rothan

Twin Dental

The Rothan brothers may not be exact duplicates of one another, but as twins that have practiced together for over 30 years, they deserve a place in this lineup. They are known for their ability to provide a wide range of dental services so that patients can have both general care and specialty care provided in the same office without needing referrals to other dentists. You’ll find that everyone in the practice is down-to-earth yet professional, and that they have the experience and technology needed to make dentistry less scary. Most importantly, Dr. Dave and Dr. Mike focus on prevention so that their patients are less likely to need more complex care in the first place!

Drs. Katina Beverly and Kredenna Beverly

TWINkling Smiles of Monroe

TWINkling Smiles of Baton Rouge

 How do you know that your dentist has the right focus to take care of children? When that dentist originally wanted to be a kindergarten teacher. Both Katina and Kredenna were studying at Southern A&M College when a recruited suggested that they should look into becoming pediatric dentists instead of kindergarten teachers. They now practice independently, but that doesn’t mean they practice alone. On two Saturdays a month, the twins operate a satellite pediatric dental facility in Oakdale, Louisiana where they provide joint care to underserved kids, and they mentor each other throughout the week. Their slogan, “Twins Making Tiny Smiles Twinkle” helps them fulfill both their professional purpose as well as deepening their personal worldview. Katina expressed this to the News Star in 2018, stating,  “When I talk about my journey, I always include my sister, because I think about our lives as one story.” And then there’s the $2 Bill Initiative that they use to teach kids about their origin and purpose.

 Hutchins Dental

Residents in the Porterville area were very appreciative when Elwin and Erwin Hutchins quickly filled in for a retiring dentist several years ago, and they are keen to share their kind demeanor and dental care with new patients as well as long-time patients. The identical twins started in mission dentistry, serving patients in Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago with very busy outreach clinics where they worked for almost two decades before returning back to their California roots. Their wives have also joined them in practice – Elwin’s wife Sonia is an assistant while Sandy is the office manager. Visit them in either of their offices, or online at HutchinsDental.net.

Mirror Image Dentistry

If there ever were a dental practice you could visit where it seemed like the dentist had cloned themselves so that they could be in two places at once, Mirror Image Dentistry would be the place. Dr. Amy and Dr. Leslie are very identical twins. New patients find it very hard to tell them apart from one another, given that they prefer to dress the same, participate in conversations where one’s sentence overlaps naturally into the others, and even work in the same close office space where they’ve been since 2001. The sisters grew up in Philadelphia and graduated from Temple University School of Dentistry.  Find out why they proudly state “Our Patients Like To Go To The Dentist” by getting in touch with them at MirrorImageDentistry.com.

Drs. Austin Dodge and Ryan Dodge

 

As recent graduates of Marquette University, Ryan is currently practicing out of state at Howell Comprehensive General Dentistry in Virginia, but once his brother Austin completes his periodontal residency at Marquette, they could end up in a complimentary practice together, somewhere. For now, though, we’re including them here because, look at them! They’re young, they haven’t settled down yet, there’s potential for them to practice together, and who knows? They may read this and decide to cozy up to one another for convenience, for camaraderie, and for the commercial appeal held by the novelty of being an identical twin. Watch this space for updates!

 

 

Limerick, Ireland 

 

 

 

 

Drs. Cormac Shields and Conor Shields

 

Shields Dental & Implant Clinic Limerick

Ireland is fortunate to have a set of identical twin dentists in Conor and Cormac Shields, but it wasn’t by coincidence that they chose their profession. Their father and grandfather, both named Frank Shields, were dental surgeons before them. The twins’ grandfather qualified as one of the first dental surgeons in Tyrone in 1917, and their father was a pioneer in oral surgery and sedation in Dungannon. Americans will be surprised to see that the brothers list out their prices for dental procedures on their website and that they are also open on Sundays. 

 

 

 

Ever wondered what a modern dental practice looks like in Ireland? Peek into the world of Dr. Conor and Dr Cormac in the video above, as they share their history, a hint of twin dynamics, and learn more about their philosophy as they explain how they provide not only dentistry but facial esthetic services in their offices.

Drs. Eva Luskačovy and Hana Luskačovy

 DuoSmile

In the United States it is rare for dentists to also have double degrees in both medicine and dentistry. So when identical twins each have a double degree, is this the mathematical equivalent of a being a doctor to the 4th power? This is what you’ll find if you travel to the Czech Republic to visit Dr. Eva and Dr. Hana, who established their practice together in 2017. Language is not a barrier here, as you’ll discover that both doctors and many of their team members are fluent in English. You’ll find their Facebook page enchanting, with video vignettes that range from random silly office moments to informative dental health tips. Be sure to visit their website, too, at DuoSmile.cz.

Dental Sitcom for “The Office” fans

March 20, 2015 By Trish Walraven 2 Comments

Our almost-18-year-old son has seen every episode of “The Office” and “Parks & Recreation.” While I haven’t watched either show with any sort of faithfulness, one film that I’ve personally learned a thing or two from is “A Clockwork Orange.” Suffice it to say, our son has had his eyes propped open seen all the available episodes of this Web series and exhibits the appropriate Pavlovian response now to the dental version of this sort of comedy.

Welcome to Episode 1 of Word of Mouth: Hiring a Practice Management Consultant

You have seven minutes to watch an episode, right? Sure, the writers aren’t blazing new comedy contrails, but the acting is decent and the shticks, while predictable, are even funny. Come on, it’s dental humor – there’s not too much of it around so take what you can get.

If you want more, there are four additional episodes of Word Of Mouth available here in the coming weeks. Who wins as Mascot? Toothy or Flossy?

Toothy, probably, because at least he’s less likely to kill you.

Stand-up dentistry

October 15, 2014 By Trish Walraven 6 Comments

One thing I’ve learned over the years is that being a dental hygienist is easy compared to comedy. Every time I imagine that I’ve got the spotlight, that it’s just me and a microphone, and I’m telling dumb jokes about cleaning teeth, I get this intense knot in my stomach that makes me realize it’s really not my calling. Ask me to write something funny; well, I have days to think about it, time to play with the words, rewrite them when they’re not working right. But delivery? Only to your screen, kid. Punchlines, storytelling, pacing, all that in real time? It’s a surefire way to see me transform into Space-Out Girl, whose super power is to make everyone feel extremely sorry for how badly it’s going onstage so that the audience members turn to each other in embarrassment, averting their gaze just long enough for her to slink back into a fetal position behind the curtain.

So it is with extreme admiration that I present to you these comedic clips about going to the dentist. Some are classics, some are rising comedians that have less than 100 views on their YouTube videos. But I think all of them are worthy of being here in their own way.

Never leave a comic in a room with a little sucky thingie.
 

Totally funny. No, it’s not Jamie Foxx, but even his dentist thinks he might be. This is what happens when he’s left alone with a saliva ejector.
 
 
Guessing your flossing habits is a power trip for dentists.
 


 
Mildly amusing, but it misses the whole “of course you’re not flossing, your gums look like raw meat” point of it and goes straight to “your dentist is an a-hole.”
 
 
The dentist has a case of tongue-us.
 

 
You’ll definitely smile about this one, and probably lick the back of your forearm, let it dry, and then smell it to see if maybe you’re doing this to your patients. I like the way he gets all educational at the end.
 
 
Seinfeld vs. Walter White

 

 
Probably my favorite laugh-out-loud clip, proof that classics just get better with time. While this isn’t a comedy routine per se, Jerry Seinfeld did start as a stand-up comedian. Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston is a dentist to Seinfeld’s Anti-Dentite. This Seinfeld episode mashup is little longer than the other clips but totally worth your time.
 
 
She had to use Yelp to find a dental referral.
 

 
Skip the intro to about 1:20 and watch as this open mike diva talks about her latest visit to the dentist. She says her husband finds that going to the dentist relaxes him. That’s not so much the case for Gisele Gerry. She’s a talent, though, as she takes us through her flossing discoveries and complains about the hygienist with judgmental eyes.
 
 
Robin Williams and the lead apron joke.
 

 
If you don’t mind a few F-bombs you’ll enjoy the first minute of this clip where Robin discusses anthrax, Congress, and gonads at the dental office.
 
 
Robin Williams before he was famous, under an extracted tooth sign.
 

 
I had to add one more of him, from a terrible film made in 1977. The joke is lame and doesn’t quite make sense, but the slide whistle saves the day. Plus, hey, it’s Robin Williams in suspenders, which makes me sad and happy all at the same time.
 
 
Mybuh libip ibis obon thebuh fluhboor.
 

 
The most classic of classics in dental humor. Bill Cosby explains what he’s like at the dentist like only he can do. And if it’s been a while since you’ve seen this clip, it might be time for a refresher. Just make sure you wipe up your slobber afterwards.
 
 
______
 
Knowing how Google can be so literal sometimes (!), you might have come to this post to figure out how to do dentistry standing up and are now pretty PO’ed that all you got was a bunch of stand-up comedy videos instead. Hey, I’ve done the Crazy Bendy Straw routine with my back all spazzing out in the stand up position, and while it hurt like a lover clucker, we should all be thankful that wasn’t you, me, and a microphone. I might have just shoved that in your cheek for a laugh.
Badumm ching.
 
Aaand…Slide whistle out.
 

 
 
A blogger since 1997, Trish Walraven, RDH, BSDH is a practicing dental hygienist and marketing manager for an indie dental software development company. She likes writing about herself in third person and wasting time watching videos online because she can excuse it as “researching for a post on DentalBuzz.”

How to talk to patients 101

December 6, 2013 By DentalBuzz Staff 4 Comments

dentistpatientcommunication
 
Have you ever wondered what kind of courses patients think you missed out on in college? They probably will never notice that you totally bombed the gold foil technique (neither will any dentist under 70, for that matter!). But they do wonder what you were taught about dealing with humans – the personal side, instead of the gushy clinical stuff.
Enter a bit of collegiate satire from a patient’s perspective. New DentalBuzz contributor Carolyn Roche has eight children and five grandchildren, a BA in Political Science from the University of Michigan, and is now studying English at Dixie State University in St. George, Utah where she lives with her husband, soon-to-be missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints daughter, and two dogs. She occasionally begins her day with Special K, and would like to share this delightful suggestive nudge with all dentists and hygienists practicing now and into the future.

Lecture Notes on Dentist-Patient Communication

by Carolyn Roche
 

Professor Samuel Rose
Algonac Dental School
For Tuesday October 15, 2013

Today’s lecture is about communicating with your patient. No one wants to be the Frank Burns of the dental industry. You want your patient to have confidence in your wisdom and know that you will work on them with compassion and competence. We will discuss some guidelines about how and why you should maintain rapport and communication with your patient.

Acceptable Subjects of Conversation

Before you begin chewing out your patient for not flossing, break the ice by conversing about the following:

1. The weather. You can always jaw about the weather. Your patient has just come in from outside and can give you valuable updates. It will help them feel helpful to you.

2. The family:

a. You can drill him about his family. People always like to talk about their family.

b. You may talk about yours. You can forget about what Thumper said, “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all.” It’s best to be honest with the patient or he won’t believe anything else you say. Tell him all the good and the bad about your family. Being open will encourage him to trust you as an honest person and like you as well. No one likes a goody-goody.

3. Recent acceptable news.

a. Crime. The patient will be happy to know which side of the law you are on. Always root for the good guy even though the bad guy is your brother. This could be another chance to talk about your family! Include all the crime details.

b. The economy. Let them know how much you earn and how much you have stashed away in safe investments. You will want to make an impression on them. Then make sure they pay the bill.

c. Medical news – if it throws a good light on professionals. If you have botched up anything recently, the patient will want to know the truth from the false rumors. Speak of your mistakes in detail. It’s okay to show off your knowledge. The patient will respect you more.

4. Remember to not get too personal with them. Forget the nonsense about building bridges to your patients. All patients should remain anonymous to you. You will be filling cavities for the rest of your life and to make YOU feel comfortable, think that they are just another cavity or tooth extraction. You will be less nervous and your patient will be less whiney. Once you get personal they will think they can complain about the pain. You don’t need that. It just wastes time.

How to Speak to Your Patient

However awkward, you must speak to the patient while you are working on them. Speaking to the patient with their mouth full is medically necessary. Make sure you have, at the least, the Hoover and a finger and a tool in their mouth.

1. Ask yes or no questions. A nod or a grunt means you haven’t frightened them enough to make them faint. Keep trying. Don’t mistake closed eyes for a faint; they are praying. There are no atheists in dentists’ chairs.

2. Ask questions that require a full sentence answer.

a. You can determine how frozen their mouth really is. If you can understand them, additional anesthetic may be required.

b. You can sue the patient for biting you. Dentistry can be an altruistic career, but remember your $1,500,000 in student loans need to be paid off before your children begin college.

After you have inflicted as much pain as possible, needle the patient about brushing and flossing. With the pain fresh in his mind he will be more likely to follow your recommendations. When you use these methods you will be filling your patients with tremendous motivation to have the healthiest teeth possible.

If You Need Help:

One of the great benefits of attending the Algonac Dental School is the support we offer to alumni opening their own practices. For a nominal fee of $500 –plus airfare, food, and accommodations- my staff and I will fly out and assess your new practice. We will help you streamline your operation.

Chairside sign language?

November 10, 2013 By Trish Walraven 4 Comments

originaldentisign

DentiSign is a sign-language system designed to help patients deal with the loss of control they may feel when they can’t verbalize their concerns and fears. If you’re a sympathetic dental professional who values the trust in a dentist-patient relationship, feel free to click over to the original DentiSign website and share these hand signals with your patients, because gosh darn it, you care.

On the other hand, if you prefer to GET REAL, have no soul, a thick skin, or just have a sense of humor, you may enjoy this updated, DentalBuzz-ified version of DentiSign instead:

Problem is that it looks like Captain Obvious put the DentiSign Inc. company out of business a few years ago so you can’t order any products from them. But the website lives on, so go visit, in case you’re so inclined.

Or at least come up with some better signals than I did.

 

 

Share your sign language ideas by adding a Comment; the best will make it into the Best Hand Gestures of DentiSigns to be shared here at DentalBuzz.

About

DentalBuzz explores rising trends in dentistry with its own slant. The speed at which new products and ideas enter the dental field can often outpace our ability to understand just exactly the direction in which we are heading. But somehow, by being a little less serious about dentistry and dental care, we might get closer to making sense of it all.

So yeah, a tongue-in-cheek pun would fit really nicely here, but that would be in bad taste. Never mind, it just happened anyways. Stop reading sidebars already and click on some content instead.
