'I love the challenges of finding a pathway to oral health for each unique patient in a way that is tailored to their specific needs. I walk with my patients down this path of dental health, encouraging and educating them along the way, until we both reach their desired goals. My profession has provided me an avenue to make a difference in the world. To me, dentistry is not just about teeth; it is about making people live healthier, happier, and longer lives.' Dr. Baasch
Dr. Baasch attended the University of Maryland, Baltimore College of Dental Surgery where he graduated in 1982 with his Doctorate of Dental Surgery.

They still perform together whenever their schedules permit. Debra has taught in the local public school district for over 20 years and is presently teaching at Mill River Union High School.
Dr. Baaschs primary personal interests are music, outdoor pursuits and the continued support of the Newstart Children's Home, which is located in Harare, Zimbabwe.

Was able to be seen yesterday on the day of my call about my broken tooth. Unfortunately, unable to get appointment for a crown to repair tooth until February.

As a long-time patient of the practice, I have always been impressed by the degree of care and warmth shown by Dr. Baasch and his team. Despite not being compelled by regulation, these folks have taken every COVID recommendation to heart and are working hard to keep the practice safe and to instill trust. Thank you all for going to great lengths to continue to serve the community with such a high level of professionalism.

My family have been patients of Baasch Dental for five years and we couldn't be happier with the care and service from Dr Baasch and his team. My husband who is anxious about dental procedures, did an around face after his initial visit with Dr. Baasch and his team. Dr. Baasch was professional, patient and took time to explain procedures and follow up care. Dr. Baasch and his team made him feel comfortable and safe. Top notch dental service! Keeping us smiling and safe. Their office is immaculately clean and above and beyond on Covid protocol.

Dr B. and team fit me in fairly quickly to check on a sensitive tooth that was concerning me. Luckily it was nothing serious but I really appreciate the reassurance and suggestive measures I can take to alleviate sensitivity. A very covid safe environment also! Thank you all!
