 There are moments that remind you why you do what you do, and our Open House at LADD Dental Group of Rushville was certainly one of them.

As we continue to get ready for the opening of LADD Dental Group of Rushville , we've been reflecting on the incredible people who have helped make this journey possible. Today, we want to express our sincere gratitude to Dr. Douglas Morrell for the remarkable partnership we've built throughout this process. When we purchased Dr. Morrell's medical office building in Rushville, we knew we were acquiring a wonderful location with a long history of caring for the community. What we didn't fully appreciate at the time was just how invaluable Dr. Morrell himself would become throughout the transition. From day one, Dr. Morrell has been much more than the previous owner of the building—he has been a true partner. His willingness to share his knowledge, offer guidance, answer questions, and help us navigate the many details involved in preparing the practice has been extraordinary. His support has made what could have been a challenging transition feel like a collaborative ef...

While Madison, Indiana doesn't have a single nationally famous dental story, there are several fascinating connections between dentistry , medicine, and the city's rich 19th-century history that would make great blog posts or social media content—especially if you're serving patients in southern Indiana.During the mid-1800s, Madison was one of Indiana's busiest river ports. Before permanent dental offices became common, many dentists traveled from town to town by horseback—or aboard Ohio River steamboats. Madison's bustling waterfront would have been a regular stop for itinerant dentists offering services like: Tooth extractions Gold fillings Denture repairs Treatment for severe toothaches Patients often learned a dentist was in town from newspaper advertisements or signs posted near the docks. Madison's role as a major transportation hub made it an ideal location for these traveling practitioners. Madison was one of Indiana's largest and mos...
