Calming Canine: Hazel the ‘Tooth Fairy’ brings joy and comfort to dental patients

CHICAGO — There are more than 50,000 therapy dogs in the U.S., but few show up for work where Hazel does.

She’s known as Hazel the Tooth Fairy and she’s a magical lap dog for those dreading the dentist.

Dr. Mahi Mehr may be the dentist at Dentalq in Chicago’s South Loop, but make no mistake, in the office, Hazel reins as top dog. 

Hazel is such a hit with patients that the receptionist is training her yorkie puppy as the next apprentice to give Hazel a well-deserved break. 

Erin McElroy has more on the canine who brings calm to crowns, cavities and cleanings.
