It All Began in Highland

In the 1940s, Highland was considered the country. Dr. Floyd Vernier Jr. opened his office in a small brick professional building at 1830 N. Milford Road in Highland.

    For over 30 years the two dentists cared for adults and children including the area’s many farmers. According to patient records fees, dental services typically ranged from $3 to $6. Because of the rural nature of the communities and the scarcity of dentists, they served a wide area that encompasses present day Highland and Milford townships. 


    Stories from these days illustrate the close-knit nature of these communities. For instance, when Milford’s Peterson Bridge was originally constructed, it could accommodate only one lane. Neighbors would rely on the courtesy of their neighbors and politely take turns should there be oncoming traffic. Another favorite story recounts a routine transaction at the general store in downtown Milford. If no cashier was present, patrons would simply check themselves out, leaving their money in plain sight, on the unattended counter.

DR. Floyd L. Vernier, Sr.

According to periodic announcements in the Michigan Alumnus, a magazine for University of Michigan alumni, Dr. Floyd Vernier Sr. had some very eventful years following his 1921 graduation from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry.


Announcements in the publication included his marriage to Winifred Wilmot in 1923 and the birth of Floyd L. Vernier Jr. in 1924. Dr. Vernier Sr. practiced dentistry on the corner of Dix and Clark streets. It’s here that Vernier Jr. was inspired to continue his father’s work.

Sorry to say, but summer is almost officially over. Long, lazy days at the beach or picnicking are coming to an end and school schedules are starting up for many people. In the spirit of new beginnings, here's a brief back-to-school lesson on oral health myths we at Huszti Dental Care hear all the time. 1: Brushing harder gets teeth cleaner: Nope. Brushing aggressively might make it feel like you are doing a good thing, but in general firm and gentle wins the race. Use a soft-bristle toothbrush, unless one of our team suggests the need for a stronger bristle brush. Harsh brushing can be detrimental to enamel and, especially, the gums, which can get worn down and recede. Those two conditions bring their own sets of problems. So be nice to your teeth. Slow and thorough beats rough and fast every time. 2: Baby teeth don't need much care, since they are going to fall out anyway. This is another dangerous myth. Healthy baby teeth mean healthy adult teeth. In fact, the healthier the baby teeth, the healthier the adult teeth are when they start coming in. Also, starting children on a good oral health care routine early means they will be more likely to carry it on as they grow. 3: If your teeth aren't bothering you there's no need to go to the dentist. Yes, some people believe this and it couldn't be farther from the truth. Many dental issues don't cause pain in the early stages, which is when treatment is most effective. So taking care of these things early will prevent pain later. It also prevents more invasive treatments. And pain. And who wants pain? 4: A dentist or hygienist can't tell if you haven't been brushing properly. This is one of the most believed myths. People around the world step up their brushing the day or two before a dental visit. They may even break out that floss they swore they would use daily after that last checkup. This is simply not true. We can see your puffy, tended gums which tells us you haven't been flossing, and the amount of tartar buildup shows you haven't been brushing. You are not fooling anyone but yourself. 5: Chewing gum is a good substitute for brushing. Well, not really. Chewing gum — sugar free gum — can have some health benefits, including addressing bad breath, but it is not a solid substitute for brushing. Sure it gets the saliva flowing, and may even be a sensible substitute for when you have a craving for something sweet, but it does not remove food particles or plaque from teeth. We hope this helps put a few myths to rest. And remember: Don't get oral health advice from social media. Come to Huszti Dental Care, we are professionals and we will answer any questions you may have about oral hygiene based on our many years of experience and decades of science and research. Happy brushing!

Losing their first tooth is a big deal for children—and often for their parents, too. It marks a step toward becoming a “big kid” whether they are ready for that or not. Whatever emotions stirred by a lose tooth—excitement, trepidation, impatience—one of them doesn’t have to be fear. Here are some tips from Huszti Dental Care in Milford, Mi., on the right way to deal with a loose tooth. Right around the age of 6, sometimes earlier sometimes later, children begin losing their baby teeth to make way for their permanent teeth. It starts with just a little wiggle and children can’t help but push against it with their tongue. If left alone, the tooth will come out on its own, sometimes when the child is eating. But it might be best to not let it go that far. If a tooth wiggles easily and if it’s becoming a nuisance, you might want to think about helping it out, literally. But when? One absolute sign that it’s time to pull a loose tooth is when it’s, as they say, hanging by a thread. Start by washing your hands well. Then sit down with the child to make her comfortable and talk through the process. Use a facial tissue or some toilet paper to help you grab the tooth firmly and gently pull straight down. It might be uncomfortable or, at the very least, unfamiliar to the child, but it shouldn’t be painful. If it doesn’t come out easily, don’t force it. Wait a day or two and try again. While it is not common, there might be reasons to see a dentist instead of removing the tooth yourself. If the child is feeling pain or there are signs of infection such as redness or swelling, you should contact our Milford dental office immediately to ensure no further complications. If you notice a permanent tooth breaking through while the baby tooth is still firmly in place, you should make an appointment for us to take a look at it. Similarly, if your child has had previous dental issues, or you just have a feeling that something isn’t right, it doesn’t hurt to bring us in. And one last, very important step, don’t forget to notify the Tooth Fairy!

The University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry’s Titans for Teeth Mobile Clinic recently visited Hoover Elementary School in Highland Park, bringing smiles and essential dental care to students right where they learn. Among the volunteers was Sophia Huszti— a Milford High School alumna and future dentist at Huszti Dental Care in Milford, MI—who is training to become one of the next generation of dental leaders. Staffed by dental students and faculty, the mobile clinic provides preventive and restorative services, oral health education and more to underserved communities across metro Detroit. It's all part of Detroit Mercy Dental's mission to expand access to care and instill healthy habits in young patients—one school visit at a time. The Titans for Teeth School Based Mobile Dental Clinic is a 38-foot mobile dental coach. It has eight chairs, four inside the van and four portable units that are set-up on-location. Throughout the academic year, the clinic travels to local participating schools in Detroit and Wayne County to provide comprehensive care for K-12 children. Treatment is performed by dental students under supervision of a licensed dentist and/or dental hygienist faculty. The Titans for Teeth School Based Mobile Dental Clinic was funded in large part by a grant from the Delta Dental Foundation. Detroit Mercy Dental has been taking oral healthcare on the road since the 1970s, providing dental care to populations that often don't have access to it. Today, the School's mobile programs provide services to children, adolescents, adult and geriatric populations in underserved areas in southeast Michigan. Thousands of patients receive necessary treatments and procedures through these free outreach clinics. In addition to helping the community, it also provides community health experiences to the dental students to build competence and confidence in interacting with a diverse patient base. These personal interactions lead to better trust and more effective communication about oral health. Finally, the clinics keep many patients out of emergency rooms because issues are addressed early on, before they become major problems. It's a great program where everybody benefits!
