Meet Trish: The Newest Therapy Dog at Lakefront Family Dentistry
Lakefront Family Dentistry is excited to welcome Trish, a 1½-year-old crème-colored Labrador Retriever, as the newest member of its dental therapy dog team. Trish, originally trained with Guide Dogs of the Desert, has transitioned into a special role at the practice, providing comfort and stress relief to patients during their dental visits.
Trish joins Stella and Nilla, the office’s existing therapy dogs, in creating a calm, welcoming environment for patients of all ages. By offering a gentle, soothing presence, therapy dogs can help ease dental anxiety, reduce stress, and make visits more enjoyable—especially for younger patients or those with dental fears.
“Our therapy dogs have made an incredible impact in helping patients feel more relaxed during their dental visits,” said Dr. Derek Hauser of Lakefront Family Dentistry. “Trish has a warm, loving personality that instantly puts people at ease, making every appointment a more positive experience.”
Patients who would like to meet Trish, Stella, or Nilla during their visit are encouraged to request their presence when scheduling an appointment.
Affordable Dental Care for Patients Without Insurance
Lakefront Family Dentistry understands that many people have no dental insurance, which is why the practice now offers flexible payment financing through Affirm for patients who enroll in the Plan for Health annual package. This in-house dental plan provides routine cleanings, exams, and X-rays while also offering discounts on additional treatments—making quality dental care more accessible and affordable.
Additionally, the practice continues to accept CareCredit and LendingClub Patient Solutions, giving patients more flexible options to manage their dental expenses with convenient payment plans.
