Speaker 1 (00:00):
I think that we all can agree that it takes

(00:02):
two to make something work. And when you're in the workplace,
you have to be able to get along with people
and to have those connections. And that feeds so well
into our next segment, Mikaylae.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
It really does. We have a relationship with Anthony Dentel
Care and doctor.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Dave is in with us today.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
You've brought a crew with you, which I love because
it does take two or more to make a thing
go right.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Absolutely absolutely. Wasn't that a song go right? Yes? And
that too, did you bring with you?

Speaker 4 (00:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (00:32):
Sure. This is doctor Addison stern Hell.

Speaker 5 (00:36):
He is a new dentist here at Anthony Dental Care
and our mentor doctor Deborah Mindel, and she is the
Ohigh State team dentist where she treats all the athletes
there and kind of runs the program.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Addison and I are both are went through her program.

Speaker 5 (00:51):
And we got Annette McMurray.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
She's been with me for a while. Her sister works
for me. But anyways, this is this is the team
we have today.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Wow, and what a group. Now, this is Ohio State strong.
This group is so Doctor Dave talk a little bit
about doctor Mendell and doctor Mendell, Welcome to the show.
Than I really feel like these two kind of grew
up with you and this mentorship, Doctor Dave. When did
you first meet doctor Mendell.

Speaker 5 (01:17):
I was a third year in dental school at Ohio
State UH and one of the team and one of
the classmates. She recommended that I go out for the
team dentistry position, and so that's when I got introduced
to doctor Mindell. She took my application and she said
he'd be great for the program. And I just love
sports all along. So that's how I originally met doctor Mindell.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
And yeah, doctor Mendell, I can even imagine some of
the teeth some of the stories that you've seen because
of the Ohio State athletes and the things that happened
to them.

Speaker 6 (01:52):
You know, we see a lot of injuries in my state,
but usually they're in sports that don't wear mouthguards. Ohio
State is great for mandai mouthguards. There's certain teams that
the NCAAA mandates the mouthguards for and if you're in
a sport that wears a mouthguard, we don't.

Speaker 7 (02:07):
See that many bad injuries.

Speaker 6 (02:09):
It's generally the athletes that don't wear the mouthguards.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Explain how those and mouth guards work, Like, how do
they work well?

Speaker 6 (02:16):
Basic mouthguards are made out of a It's a material
called EVA. It's an ethylene vinyl acetate and it's basically
like a rubbery appliance that you wear over top of
your teeth and it absorbs impact absorption properties.

Speaker 7 (02:29):
So if you get hit and.

Speaker 6 (02:31):
Your lower jaw rather than hitting your upper jaw, it
hits a piece of absorbing plastic and that absorbs the
impact absorption properties.

Speaker 7 (02:38):
That absorbs the impact stresses and.

Speaker 6 (02:41):
Not as much get to your teeth and not as
much get to your jaw, So it prevents breakage and concussions.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
I was going to ask you if you don't have that,
Ohio State mandates. But if you don't have that, what
are some of the things that can happen to your jaw,
to your head? And you said concussions and break it?

Speaker 7 (02:55):
Can you break teeth?

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Like what does that look like?

Speaker 6 (02:57):
You can break teeth, You can break your jaw, You
can get a concussion. And there are certain sports that
it's mandated to where where they're are most likely to
have that type of injuries. You know, a golfer probably
isn't going to get that injury. A football player probably
is going to get that injury. So that's all decided
by the NC double A, And they mandate colored mouth

(03:18):
guards for certain sports. So a referee or an umpire
someone can look across the field and see if that
athlete is wearing a mouthguard.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
And all of you guys can join in on this conversation.
But I as I understand it, you can get mouthguards
that just fit or can you get them individually fit
for an athlete's personal mouth?

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Are they both that way?

Speaker 1 (03:36):
You guys all chime in.

Speaker 6 (03:38):
Well, okay, I'm giving a big lecture to the dental
students on this on Wednesdays, Klein, I to practice on them. Okay,
all mouth guards work, and there have been studies that
have shown that a mouthguard bought it Dix and a
mouthguard made by your dentist is both going to help

(03:59):
prevent canut essions. That is both going to help prevent
tooth breaking. But the difference is it boils down to compliance.
You know, no mouth guard is good unless it's worn.
And if you can make one that fits better, a
custom made one fits better, we can make them look cooler.
You know, these guys have put the OSU logo on it,

(04:20):
We put people's names on it.

Speaker 7 (04:21):
You can do different colors.

Speaker 6 (04:23):
If that's something that will make the athlete be more
likely to wear it, then that's when it works better.

Speaker 8 (04:29):
And you know, doctor Mindelha has is boiled down to
such a science. We've had many late nights in the
Woody Hayes making hundreds of mouthguards for the football team,
the basketball team. But as far as the fit goes,
and you know, you trim them to certain parts of
the mouth, so you're thinking about can the quarterback announce
the enunciate what he's saying, and even for the basketball
you know that's a verbal communication. You're constantly talking. So

(04:51):
she has all of these landmarkers. She has us actually
make a few of them before we make any of
the official ones to make sure we're making them.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
Up to her standard.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (04:59):
So it's uh, it's pretty cool stuff. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
No, yeah, she had to answer that because we would.

Speaker 5 (05:07):
Yeah, she taught us and then we took it to
the high school that we're at now and and actually
we do.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Reeps winning in the foot big Wallnut, Big.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
One, big one. It's doing great. Great. It's my and
my brother in law is the head coach the head coach? Yeah,
so I mean I'm going to all the games. I'm
super stoked and my daughter and.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah, they just one Friday night.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
Do they play now? You know that's a great question.

Speaker 5 (05:34):
Doctor Mindell just asked me that I thought it was
the sales, but I could be wrong.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
Knocked out? Did they gt? Knocked out?

Speaker 7 (05:40):
Yeah, they're playing.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
Mary.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Yeah, it's in Marion.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Aceland's pretty good.

Speaker 7 (05:48):
Sorry, but they are.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
Fun, right, We got to get through them if we're
gonna you know, win.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
How important and how cool is it that you guys
all get to sit together in this studio. You guys
learned from her and now you're looking at them and
the success that they're having.

Speaker 7 (06:04):
You know, it's fun, It's really really fun. It was easy.

Speaker 6 (06:08):
You know, the athletic department lets me hire two students
every year to work with me treating the athletes, doing
the mouth guards and their emergency care. And you know,
David did a great job. When he interviewed, he was
just enthusiastic, positive. You know, I try to hire people.
The students I pick have good hand skills, but a
good personality, a winning personality, And David did a great job,

(06:29):
and then in two thousand and seven, and then twenty
twenty three, you know, Addison interviewed for the job, and
then when David called me and said he was looking
for someone to come to his office that I know
any students that were graduating.

Speaker 7 (06:41):
It's like, it's like a perfect pair.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Life is about connections and relationships. So I want to
talk a little bit more about that because that's exactly
what you just did. You have created a program of
your own where you're able to do that, and doctor David,
you're doing that in your practice as well. I mean
doctor Stern Addison is one of these examples.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
But that's how you live.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
That's like the mission of what you do is relationships
one hundred percent.

Speaker 5 (07:04):
And she's got a she has a nice program and
it feels like a little family.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
We did this. What was this event for your missus Hall?
Just recently she's.

Speaker 6 (07:12):
Been We have the woman Helen Hall. Her husband was
the first team dentist under Woody Hayes and he started
this program and she is ninety six years old and
we had a reunion of all the team dentists since
her husband started the program. Came back at Ohio State
this past spring, and it's kind of a net little
fraternity because there's just two to three people in each class,

(07:35):
and everyone came back to visit Missus.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Hall and the relationship so awesome.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Special has dentistry at Ohio State.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
It's sort of the best in the nation.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
I understand, Yes, it is. Has it changed through the years,
like it look at you looking at two former students
and you're still doing it. Has it changed from like say,
when you first got there to now?

Speaker 6 (07:55):
You know?

Speaker 7 (07:56):
It has?

Speaker 6 (07:56):
You know, materials have changed, techniques have changed. When David
and I were doing it, we were taking algenate models
of the athletes to make the mouthguards. You know, Addison,
we were scanning the mouth. So the technology has changed.
That has changed a lot. But the hard work, the
enjoying what you do, the camaraderie and the friendships you make,
you know, those are still the same and those are

(08:16):
always as strong with that Buckeye spirit.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Well you had to get that bucket. I just hope
my daughter, who's the short stuff for the buck guys,
never has to come see you.

Speaker 6 (08:25):
We're there.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
She almost.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Season with that ball straight to the face and she
broke her nose. But we're going to continue this conversation
about relationships. I saw something your marketing team does a
great job and Anette you can help fill in this
as well. I saw a video that your teammate of
you before coffee.

Speaker 7 (08:44):
And after coffee.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
It's like man monster, not so monster.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
No associates were harmed in.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
And we'll share.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Michaela what this video was all about. But you know what,
you have to have fun in the workplace. You have
to like where you work, and you have to like
who you work with.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
And what makes it fun and able to get stuff done?
Are you really that bad before caffeine?

Speaker 6 (09:09):
No?

Speaker 3 (09:10):
This is it total this video. I'm going to make
it up.

Speaker 5 (09:14):
That's a figurative representation of you know, what was going
on within when you know you don't have your coffee.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
I think most people can relate to it.

Speaker 7 (09:20):
She can't. But I definitely have to have some caffeine
in the morning.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
Okay, how many are do you have? Like what's the
coffee situation at the office?

Speaker 7 (09:29):
Is there like a machine?

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Did people bring their own?

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Like?

Speaker 7 (09:31):
What's the deal?

Speaker 4 (09:32):
We have pretty good coffee at the office.

Speaker 8 (09:34):
Yeah, I mean it probably See I'm like a cup
in the morning kind of guy and I'm good to go.
But I don't think you'll ever see Dave without a
cup of coffee. He is go with it at all times.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
What is it about it? Because I'm like, I'm like Addison,
I one cup and I'm good for the day.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
And it can't be good for your teeth.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Dennis's come on, no matter, it's going to be straight
with you.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
I think it just keeps you sharp.

Speaker 5 (09:56):
But also, you know there's something with a ad d
I got a bad add problem, and there's something like
that helps with that, like you would think.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
It would focuses you, focuses me. Sugar makes me want
to drill faster, and it's not good for anyone. But
caffeine really, just.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Do you like your coffee black?

Speaker 3 (10:12):
That's why I'm here straight, no sugar. I don't know
if you feel it? Yeah, yeah, Well.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
If you guys want to call in and talk about
your workplace, how great it is, what makes it great,
what makes it work. We're gonna take a break and
then call us up at six one four eight two
one nine eight eight six six one four eight two
one nine eight eighty six. What are some of the
fun things you do around the workplace just to make
everybody happy, because I imagine when you hire someone doctor Dave,

(10:38):
you hope they stay for a while.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
Certainly, absolutely, what do you do?

Speaker 2 (10:43):
What kayatiine building?

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Do you do?

Speaker 2 (10:44):
I have a feeling we've not really cracked that nut
when it comes to what you guys do.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
Do you guys do a retreat? Do you do? Tell
us a little bit? Wow, that's most of the stuff.

Speaker 5 (10:53):
I mean, Addison, I just we I think we just
have a good time and we just just fine interact.
We do some things out the office, we have parties,
we have this, and you do.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
Some volunteering together. Right Yeah, Night to Shine, Yeah, I
was thinking about night.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
We serve together. We serve together.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
See, and that's something too. There's something to be said
about that as well. I'm scanning your thing. I want
to show it during comercial break to Mikaylass so she
knows what we're talking about.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
We'll be right back.

Speaker 7 (11:16):
This is what matters.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Imagine mentoring people in whatever your profession is and then
seeing them succeed not just in their profession but also
in life. It's got to be so rewarding for you.

Speaker 7 (11:29):
You know it is.

Speaker 6 (11:30):
I just feel like every I feel like I'm their parent.
When they're going through school, you just you feel proud
of them. When they graduate, you know, and they go
make mouthguards for teams, and they carry forward the information
you try to teach them.

Speaker 7 (11:41):
It just makes you feel good. It feels like you've
done You've been successful.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Doctor Mandeli, take it you've been there for a while.
You didn't you weren't drawn to do something else. You
really must feel like this has been a purpose and
a calling, you know.

Speaker 7 (11:52):
I really enjoy what I do. I like I like
being a dentist.

Speaker 6 (11:57):
I like being at the dental school in education, and
I'm lucky because I have that little side path of
being the team Denis for the Buckeyes. I like sports,
so it's kind of a nice team building, you know.
I try to teach the students of my clinic to
be together as a team. We always work together treating patients.
So it's just been it's worked really well.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
What is one of the worst things you've seen as
far as an accident or an injury at Ohio State.

Speaker 7 (12:20):
Through the years, we've seen some of false teeth being
knocked out.

Speaker 6 (12:24):
I hate to say it, I don't tell you, but
the worst one I ever saw was a softball player,
a girl's softball player. No, took a ball to the face,
knocked at her forefront teeth.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
It took a ball to the face.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Was she in the infield like she was fielding?

Speaker 6 (12:36):
No, she was on the outfield and oh my gosh,
it took a bad.

Speaker 7 (12:40):
Bump into the face. But we put her back together again.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
She was good. Why you do what you do well?

Speaker 6 (12:47):
You know, we could we a lot of practice with it,
but that was probably the worst thing. You know, we
see a lot of teeth being knocked around and you.

Speaker 7 (12:54):
Know, things like that.

Speaker 6 (12:54):
But generally, like I said, it's generally in sports that
were mouthguards aren't mandated.

Speaker 7 (12:59):
If you wear off guard, you don't usually get hurt
that badly.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
When you do chip a tooth or lose a tooth
and you have to have the surgery to replace it,
is that good to go for life? Is that usually
it's good to go for life? You be honest, because
I did chip a tooth and I'm just wondering how
long it's gonna last.

Speaker 8 (13:19):
It can be, you know, that's the thing about dentistry.
There's a huge parameter of what can be and what
can be, But there's definitely enough. You know, whether it
gets through canal treatment, if it's crowned, if you get
the filling, I mean there's you can keep that for life.
It's just you got to also do You got to
take care of things on your own.

Speaker 4 (13:33):
But I think it's doable. What do you guys think,
I mean, I maintenance.

Speaker 6 (13:35):
You have to see your dentist twice a year. You
have to get follow up care, monitoring things.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Have you had to do any implanter or is that
part of the work you do or don't do with athletes?

Speaker 7 (13:47):
No, we have had a few.

Speaker 6 (13:48):
If you get a tooth knocked out, if a tooth
gets knocked out, if it gets reimplanted within a certain
time period, a lot of times you can save that
tooth if it's too long before it gets placed back
into the socket. We've had to do implants, you know,
not that many, but there have been cases where the
tooth itself couldn't be saved and we.

Speaker 7 (14:06):
Had to do an implant a place.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Yeah, it makes sense.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
So during commercial break, we did give Mikayla the video
to look at that. You guys created the incredible drama coffee. Yeah,
you're like a different person with it.

Speaker 7 (14:20):
And without it.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
I love coffee. I do.

Speaker 5 (14:22):
I tried one week not drinking coffee, and it wasn't
a very good week. I just my assistants were like,
what's wrong with you? You just still seem like yourself.

Speaker 8 (14:32):
I'm glad I wasn't working during that week that's supposed
to have been before me.

Speaker 5 (14:35):
Apparently I wasn't very you know, I was having some
I wasn't very smart, I guess would.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
Be the way to put it. We're very smart. My
assistants were so mad at me. They didn't know what
was going on. I finally broke the news, and they're like,
never again, never again. Yeah, I can't see.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
I just it's hard for me to imagine because I
don't drink coffee.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yeah, coffee. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
I think I'm for sure the minority there. I think
I'm probably the only adult that I know that doesn't
drink coffee.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
But you probably also don't know the headache that can
come when you don't drink even that one cup of coffee.
If I don't drink one cup of coffee a couple
of days, I.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
Get a headache.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
Yep, absolutely, yeah, Why is that I.

Speaker 7 (15:13):
Would think withdraw drawing from the caffeine. Yeah, I'm glad
I don't drink I.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Mean, isn't it etcrin that has some caffeine in it?
I mean Etceterrin treats headaches, and I put a little
caffeine in it.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
So I don't know.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
I just I'm there, and so be glad. You don't
have to worry about that. You might be in the minority,
but be glad of it.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
Is it bad for your teeth? Wow, that's uh. I
wouldn't say it's bad. What about tea?

Speaker 8 (15:37):
I mean, you know it can stain your teeth, but
there's plenty of things you can do to take care
of that. I mean, so many people depend on coffee.
What are we going to say, don't drink coffee because
it stands your teeth? You know, it's not I wouldn't
say it affects the integrity of the tooth.

Speaker 7 (15:48):
No, it doesn't affect integrity.

Speaker 6 (15:51):
It's a lot of times it's the added if you
put milk and sugar, that's going to cause a problem.
But a black coffee, No, it actually tea stains your
teeth as much, if not more than coffee does.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
That's what I was wondering. Well, you guys have been
so fun to talk to, and what a pleasure to
see the rapport that you've created through generations. It's really
a wonderful thing to see. And I know you carry
that into the office at Anthony Dental Care and it's.

Speaker 7 (16:12):
It's it matters.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
It matters what you do at work, who you work with,
and who works on your teeth.

Speaker 7 (16:18):
It does.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
You guys have been fantastic.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
We're so glad to have experienced it.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah, you guys. If you want to know more about
Anthony Dental Care and experience this kind of collaboration, Annette,
where do they need to go?

Speaker 6 (16:30):
You can find us online at Anthony Dentalcare dot com
or give us a call at seven four zero nine
six five four zero nine zero.

Speaker 7 (16:36):
We'd love to have you as a patient.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
All right, guys, thanks so much for being here. You
like the new gigs in a new studio fun. I
don't think we can be able to kick them out mcain.

Speaker 6 (16:47):
I might not.

Speaker 4 (16:48):
It might be here next week when we come in,
I know, but.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
We have to kick ourselves out because we're at the end.
No matter what you do this week, spend some time
doing what matters
