🦷 The cure for dental anxiety has four legs and a tail

According to the Cleveland Clinic, 12% of people have extreme dentist visit anxiety. 

For patients at J&D Dental in Minneapolis, however, their dental anxiety is handled by an expert: Ollie, a fluffy, 80-lb English Goldendoodle.

🐕 Hygienist's little helper... Ollie belongs to dental hygienist April Kline, who started bringing him into work from time-to-time to help nervous patients. 

• Sprawled across April's patients' laps, Ollie has helped countless people – so much so that one woman didn't need to use laughing gas during her appointment like she had every other visit since she was a child. 
• "He’s such a good boy, and he was really calming," said the patient. "I’m surprised at how much he helped.”
