Meet Suwanee Dental Care's Intern..



My name is Clint Duggan and I have been interning at Suwanee Dental Care this summer because I am very interested in becoming a dentist. I have been a patient at Suwanee Dental Care for over ten years now, and I have seen this dentists’ office grow and provide the best all around dental care in and around Atlanta. During my internship I have viewed many different types of dental care, from deep cleanings to dentures, from root canals to teeth whitening, and traditional orthodontics to Invisalign. Suwanee Dental Care truly covers every aspect of dentistry and this is why this internship has been the best learning experience for a future dentist like me. I have learned the most from the hands on experience. I have learned how to give x-rays and how to assist in a normal filling procedure. It has also been a good experience to understand how to sterilize all the equipment and how things are done in the lab. Understanding how all the machines work in the office has been very interesting too because Suwanee Dental Care is the most technologically advanced dentist office I have ever seen. Understanding the business aspect of a dentist office has also been very important to me, and Dr. Williams has taught me a great amount on this subject to help me understand how a dentist office is run. The best part of this internship though, was meeting and working with all the wonderful people at

Suwanee Dental Care. From the dentists: Dr. Williams, Dr. Golik, and Dr. Smith, multiple dental assistants and hygienists, and the ladies in the front office, everyone at Suwanee Dental Care is a true professional and a genuine person.

Premature Birth Awareness

The March of Dimes is celebrating Prematurity Awareness. The goal of this event is to draw attention to premature birth, which affects more than 530,000 babies each year in the United States.

In the first of what will be an annual Premature Birth Report Card, the nation received a D and not a single state earned an A when the March of Dimes compared actual preterm birth rates to the national Healthy People 2010 objective.

Recent studies have linked maternal periodontal disease to preterm birth. Furthermore, studies have indicated that the treatment of periodontitis in pregnant mothers can reduce the risk of preterm birth.

Did you know that each person's set of teeth is unique - kind of like fingerprints - even in identical twins!?
