🎃 Don't take the "Curve of Spee-d" on this road! 🎃

Slow down and say hi to Rusty Brackets. He's been sitting in the chair so long his treatment is permanent retention.

Luckily, Dr. Speier is on the case: loupes on, mask up, and and ready for her toughest Class II Scare-occlusion yet.

Swing by, snap a pic, and give our team a wave. No appointment needed! 😉

Happy Halloween from the whole Lion's Tooth Pediatric & Orthodontic crew! 🦁 🦷

🦁🦷 Happy Birthday, Mel!

Today we're celebrating our amazing Pediatric Office Manager, the queen of turning "fruit" into a "fruity drink"🍋! No matter what curveballs a busy day throws our way, Mel finds a way to make it work, and she does it with a smile that puts our patients, families, and team at ease.

We're so lucky to have you, Mel. We hope your day is as bright and sweet as you are! 💛

🦁🦷 Happy 3-Year Work Anniversary, Sam! 🦁🦷

Three years ago, our team got a whole lot gentler. Sam, our Registered Dental Hygienist, has the softest touch with our littles. She calms nervous smiles, gets those teeth sparkling clean, and teaches our patients how to care for them along the way.

Sam, thank you for the patience, kindness, and skill you bring to every chair, every day. Our patients (and our team) are lucky to have you! 💙

🦷 Celebrating Mindy – 6 Years at The Lion's Tooth! 🦁
Today we're celebrating a special milestone: Mindy's 6th anniversary with The Lion's Tooth Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, since September 21, 2020!

Mindy is a true dental veteran, bringing a wealth of experience to her role as our Surgery Scheduler. She perfectly coordinates procedures both in-office and across area hospitals, keeping every detail organized so our families and providers can focus on what matters most.

Beyond her scheduling expertise, Mindy's soft demeanor brings comfort and care to families navigating unfamiliar waters. For parents facing a procedure they've never dealt with before, her calm presence makes all the difference.

Happy anniversary, Mindy B. — thank you for everything you bring to our team and our families! 🦁🦷

🦷 Celebrating Jenny B. – 5 Years at The Lion's Tooth! 🦁🦷

We are celebrating a huge milestone: Jenny B. has been part of The Lion's Tooth Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics since 2021!

Jenny brings over 20 years of dental experience to our team — and honestly, that number only tells part of the story. Dentistry runs deep in her family, and she's proudly continuing a lineage that's helped shape the Dayton dental community for generations.
As our Admin Team Lead, Jenny is the numbers Genie and resident insurance Guru — the person who can untangle even the most complicated claim without breaking a sweat. She routinely handles the workload of 2-3 people, and somehow still makes it look easy. In fact, she works so feverishly that her computer keyboard has officially requested PTO days. Ask her for help and she's likely already on it.

Jenny is truly a pillar of our practice, and we're so grateful for everything she brings to our team and our patients every day.

Happy anniversary, Jenny — here's to many more! 🦁🦷
