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.

Kenya Medical Outreach

Greetings to all,


Kenya Medical Outreach has really had a full year of surprises and excitement as we walk this journey we are on in Kenya. Back in February we established a wonderful relationship with Operation Smile that has enable several children with cleft lips and pallets to get evaluated and surgically corrected. All of this occurred through agencies being willing to network. According to Operation Smile, it is difficult to get the information out to the people in the rural areas, so KMO volunteered to post the information posters in Narok South and North to encourage people in healthcare areas such as dental offices, doctors offices and hospitals to refer these children to a city called Nakuru where a medical outreach was to be held to repair the cleft lips free for the children. This sounds so easy for parents to get the children to the evaluation site, but many face challenges of no money for transport or many are afraid of the unknown involved in the surgical process, so sometimes the child has no way to receive treatment. One story that relates to the above is parent seeing the problem of a cleft lip as a priority for the surgery even though we actually had a 13 year boy with a cleft lip cleared to go for an evaluation and the parents refused to let the child go even though the child wanted to go have the procedure done. So thankfully a neighbor volunteered to not only cover the cost of transport to the evaluation site, but accompany the child as well. As it turns out, the boy was evaluated and the cleft lip was repaired and Operation Smile said now let him return to his village and be a testimony of what can be done to help people with this condition. Also the boy said he could not wait to get back to his village and tell everyone including two others with cleft lips how easy it was to get the area treated. So hopefully the two others that did not receive treatment this time will so in August.One family had 3 children with cleft lips and all three were evaluated and surgically repaired within a weeks time and went home. As they boarded the public transportation one said he could wait to get home to show people how good he looked. Please realize that here in Kenya many children with this condition are killed at birth, abandoned or the parents have no financial resources to have the corrective procedure done so the child usually dies some time after birth depending on the severity of the condition or they are ridiculed and ostracized by the other children and community as well. So these children have been given hope in the change of appearance and a big boost in self esteem.
Then the next great adventure was involvement in donkey rescue. Here in Kenya, the donkey or punda as it is called in Swahili, is a major work animal, but unfortunately ignorance, abuse and lack of fundamentals on adjusting the work load of the animal cause many avoidable injuries. So in mid March we rescued a donkey that had over 17 noted injury sites and brought him to our house to recover. The local District Vet Jerry Ole Kina played a major role in treating him and helping counsel us on how best to assist in Paul’s (the donkey) recovery. We named him Paul from the apostle Paul in the Bible because of the many beatings he experienced. Penny and Paul have become good friends especially since Penny provides plenty of carrots, kale, corn and lets him graze any green grass we can find. As a matter of fact, the donkey follows her around like a dog and brays often to get her attention. Valentine the Scottish Terrier senses the loss of attention from her master, so at times we have some competition. Hopefully we will find a good owner and new home for Paul soon since his injuries have just about healed and we are hoping to use the funds from selling him to put in an account for future rescues of animals in the Narok area. We have identified four additional animals that need immediate intervention from the harm caused by the harsh hand of man, so again hopefully we can still be involved in this arena .
As many of you may know that water is a enormous topic of discussion and need in the continent of Africa. Frequently the water is polluted or contaminated so there is major need for intervention not just for accessible water, but for clean water. In January we experience a 75% drop in rain water and this trend continued through the next few months and caused a severe drought in the area. Many cows, goats, sheep and dogs have died because of the lack of water and grass to sustain them. Then the conditions got so bad we appealed to friends in the USA for help to mobilize a food relief effort to cover 4 extremely needly areas in the district. The answer came quickly with many generous donations that allowed us to feed approximately 7,000 people. It was very interesting how God used our past experiences to assist us in moving forward in this big task. At my home church ,New Covenant Fellowship, Penny and I occasionally worked in the pantry to feed the poor and one of our jobs was to line bags up and stuff the bags with the goods and the Africans marveled at what a system we used to expedite the bagging process. Each bag had beans, corn, a grits like flour,oil and salt which should last a family of 7 for 3 weeks.All the villages we visited the people were so appreciative and some of the children kept asking is this really our food and after answering them several times they finally helped their mother carry the food to the house. One of my favorite stories occur at the 3rd village at the first house we visited. Jerry the Vet helped us with this project too and his knowledge of the back roads assisted us greatly in navigating the area. Anyway we pulled up to this house and Jerry went and knocked on the door and usually the first question that would be asked is how many people live in this house and the woman replied why? Jerry said because we need to know how much food to give you and she just looked at him and proceeded to tell her story. The night before she told her daughter to go to her room and pray because we have been without food for a few days and only God can hep us now. So the daughter did go pray and had a dream that someone came and knocked on the door and said hi I am here to give you food and that is exactly what happened the next day-God heard their prayers and gave them food. A big thanks to all that gave toward the food relief project it was a great help. In addition to the food relief, our KMO Missions Coordinator Pam Smith mobilized intercessors to pray for rain and pray Psalms 65 over the area and within the first week we had 5 measurable inches of rain in Narok. Some areas such as Morijo are still in great need rain and food and as funding continues to come in, we will give aid to that area. Also we made an appeal to the UN to assist in the areas and we have heard via email from them that aid will come for at least 6 more months.
Another problem in the area was an outbreak of rabies with not just dogs and cats but donkeys too. After talking with the District Vets we discovered that due to a lack of funding the Vets had not been vaccinated against rabies themselves, so through generous giving all Vets were vaccinated and sites were selected to move in and deal with the rabid dogs and do a mass vaccination of animals in several villages. Many people in the area have died from rabid dog bites, so many stray animals have been put down because of this outbreak. So again because of donations, we were or actually you were able to help deal with a real serious problem in the areas. We have many stories of dog bites, but this one seems to be ever present in my memory. A boy got bit by a rabid dog and the family took him to a doctor and then he didn’t get any better. So the father took him to a certain church with the thoughts that the boy had a demon and it needed to be exorcised from him, but prior to taking him to the church he bit every family member. The boy then ran from the area really crazy acting never to be seen again exhibiting extreme symptoms of rabies.
Currently KMO-Narok and KMO-USA are preparing for what looks to be an adventurous undertaking by visiting 3 different sites to do medical and dental camps and a program at one site called Walk with Jesus. At one location called Sakutiek, the people are so excited that we are coming to provide help in so many areas and are gearing up to Walk with Jesus. So please continue to partner in whatever dimension you can by praying or supporting us in these endeavors and thanks so much for all your love and concern for us and the people of Kenya.



Blessings,KMO-Missionaries

The Opportunity of a LIFETIME!


Our patient, Yoniko "Tina" Washington was chosen to represent India at the 2009 World Figure Skating Championships in Los Angeles, CA last month!

She did this against many hurdles which needed a strong will, dedication and hard work to overcome. She was the second youngest to compete and she was the least experienced of her competitors.

Tina is 16 and lives with her family in Duluth. She trains at the Atlanta Ice Forum in Duluth

In January 2008, Tina won the Silver Medal at the "Fifth All-India National Figure Skating Championships". The event was held in Shimla, India at a natural ice rink near the Himalaya mountains. Ice skaters from 12 Indian states participated, as well as skaters such as Tina who live outside of India, but are of Indian descent.

Medaling at the Championships opened a whole realm of possibilities for Tina. She was invited to skate at the 2008 Four Continents competition in Goyang, South Korea.

Tina did compete in two of the 2008 Junior Grand Prix events - Courchevel, France and Sheffield, England.

In February, she passed the Senior Free skate Test, which is the highest level test given in the United States.

Tina also got the most dependable volunteer award last year from First Alliance Church Northdruid Hills Rd, plays violin, sings on the worship team and has all A's in School!

Check out Tina's Video on Youtube! Way to go Tina, we are so proud of you!

Have you had your oral cancer screening yet this year?


I want to encourage everyone to have an oral cancer screening this year. Did you know that Oral Cancer claims one life every hour according to the Oral Cancer Foundation? Early detection is the key and has an 80% to 90% survival rate.
With a new technological development called the VELScope, Our doctors, at Suwanee Dental Care can screen the entire mouth to find anything under the surface that may be invisible to the naked eye. Oral Cancer often cannot be seen or felt without these special techniques. By the time a lump is found or pain is felt, advanced stages have set in and the chances of survival are very low.

Oral cancer can form in any part of the mouth or throat. Most oral cancers begin in the tongue and in the floor of the mouth. Anyone can get oral cancer, but the risk is higher if you are male, over age 40, use tobacco or alcohol or have a history of head or neck cancer. Frequent sun exposure is also a risk for lip cancer.

Symptoms of oral cancer include

  • White or red patches in your mouth
  • A mouth sore that won't heal
  • Bleeding in your mouth
  • Loose teeth
  • Problems or pain with swallowing
  • A lump in your neck
  • An earache
We are dedicated to your health! Please take Oral Cancer seriously and ask us about your screening for 2009!

What is an Dental Implant?

If you want a dental restoration that looks natural and feels like it's really a part of your mouth, then dental implants may be right for you.
I personally had a dental implant done by one of our doctors at Suwanee Dental Care about 6 months ago. After a root canal, internal bleaching, and multiple tooth fractures I chose to do an implant after I was told I would be a good candidate to receive one. Now, six months later, my restoration is almost complete and it's the best decision I ever made for my front tooth. It was easy, painless and you would
never know it was a dental implant. Our staff here at Suwanee Dental Care can provide you with more information on what a dental implant is with a simple email or you can come in and receive a free DVD that you can then share with family and friends.

Couldn't ask for better weather

Suwanee had Jack Frost nipping at her nose over the weekend as snow steadily fell all day long on Saturday. I was in the garage apartment doing electrical work and even there where it was 28 degrees inside I had to stop and look out the window at the beauty of the falling snow on the bare pines.

Ace Hardware sold out of sleds on Friday night and were getting low on trash can lids by noon on Saturday. We all love the snow when it comes to town and rush to take full advantage as we know it will be gone tomorrow.

Perhaps old Jack Frost has more in store for us this winter. I hope so, because next time my wife, Tiffany, and I will be ready by the fire with my hot chocolate and our two dogs.

EpiCenter of Gwinnett

Suwanee is like a donut....a Boston cream-filled donut! The first taste you get is that sweet chocolate outter layer. Suwanee looks good from the outside, to those just passing through, seeing the Town Center Park, the green spaces, the new businesses growing up all along Hwy 317, 23, PIB, and Sat.Blvd. Suwanee does dress up for the party well!

Then there are the neighborhoods of Suwanee, the classic homes of old town and the classy new homes off Johnson and Moore Roads...these homes are the bread of Suwanee, which from raw materials became substance and formed the structures that created its form, the houses, the subdivisions, the neighborhoods we love to call home, call our beloved Suwanee.

But, the real sweetness of Suwanee is what's inside those donuts, those homes... the people. Like a rich filling, the people of Suwanee are what makes us smile so much. We call Suwanee home because the warmth of our friends keeps us company on cold nights. We call Suwanee home because of the prayers of the Saints which are with us and for us in our troubled times. We call Suwanee home because we can rejoice together over the victories by North Gwinnett football or the Gwinnett Gladiators or the Georgia Bulldogs. We walk the fairways together, pedal along the bike paths and hike the Richard Trice trail with our dogs. We are family, we are a favored people in God's land. We are Suwaneeans. Its enough to make you smile.

Suwanee's Giving Spirit

Kenya Medical Outreach, Inc. has been collecting supplies and delivering aid to small villages in remote Kenya since 1999. The mission outfit is based right here in Suwanee, GA and takes volunteers of all walks of life to Kenya to deliver aid each year.

What sets this mission apart from most is that Kenya Medical Outreach serves small villages with little or no infrastructure and little outside contact at all. Some of the villages KMO has developed relationships with National Geographic can't even gain entry to.

The greatest need in the Kenyan villages today is a source of safe drinking water. To find out how you can help please contact Justin Williams at justinwilliams@suwaneedental.com

If you would like to be a part of an upcoming safari, meaning great journey in Swahili, please contact KMO for more information.

Suwanee may boast hometown claim to NASCAR's next superstar

NASCAR driver Tyler Williams has been dazzling fans at every speedway he touches. Smooth driving and clean racing is what has made Tyler well liked on and off the track.

When Tyler isn't hurdling around the track you can catch him studying race film or researching his competition. This driver has determination and the skill to take the dream all the way to the Sprint Cup.

Tyler has recently been seen in Charlotte, NC testing with an unnamed NASCAR program. Rumor has it Tyler strapped into the car and was only tenths of a second off the pace of the NASCAR veteran he was testing with.

Suwanee, lets get behind Tyler and cheer him all the way to victory lane in the Sprint Cup!!

Ippolito's has the YUM Factor


I had a craving for lasagna last night and knew exactly where to go. Ippolito's at the Suwanee Town Center is the perfect spot. Nice atmosphere, smiling service, and some of the most authentic tasting Italian dishes in Atlanta! We sat by the front window and did some people watching as we enjoyed our evening. My wife had a delicious looking pizza and I, of course, had the lasagna. Which was large enough for me to enjoy it again for lunch today. Ippolito's reminds always feels friendly and warm. I definitely cast my vote for best Italian to Ippolito's. Make sure you go hungry!

There's More To Suwanee Than Meets The Eye

You could call this place Smile Central--everyone in Suwanee is smiling for some reason. Suwanee Smiles is the brainchild of my child, Justin Williams. But he's not so small a child now, having graduated from the U. of South Carolina in political science and married this summer to Tiffany Gillespie who also graduated from UGA this summer. It was his central idea to put the logo on coasters and stickers of I Love Suwanee and to pass them around the city as a rally point about what we think about our town. So now we have a blog to share about the greenest city in these parts. We have a blog to register our feelings about growth, progress, jobs, parks, traffic, schools and neighborhoods...too much going on to keep in the dark. We want to shine the light on what is good and true. We want to create a smile on your face as you read and see what lights up our lives here in TOP TEN SUWANEE.

DO YOU LOVE SUWANEE??

If the answer is yes, then get involved. Tell everyone why you love Suwanee. What brought you here? What can we, as a community, do to make Suwanee even better?

Send me an email: andrea@suwaneedental.com and I will add you to the contributors list which will allow you to log on to the blog and write and publish your stories and ideas for Suwanee!!

Why do I love Suwanee?

I love Suwanee because of all the friendly faces and easy access to all the things I enjoy. I can hop in the car and get to great shopping, local eateries or a dog park in less than 10 minutes. I love driving by North Gwinnett High School and seeing all the school spirit signs. It gives me the small town feel while being just a short drive away from the hustle and bustle of Atlanta.

Some of my favorite places to eat are in Suwanee. I frequent Mori House for their fantastic sushi and japanese dishes. Cinco is another one of my favorite places in the area, with its super yummy mexican flavors. There is something here for everyone and you always get great southern hospitality no matter which cuisine you choose.

All in all, Suwanee provides me with a strong feeling of community and ownership. I feel that my voice is heard and that I matter. Most people can't say that about the places they live, and that makes me feel proud to say: "I love Suwanee".



MONEY MAGAZINE'S Article voting Suwanee into the Top 10 Best Places to Live

Population:
11,200
Median home price (2006): $293,868
Average property taxes (2006):$2,311
Pros: Green space, affordable housing
Cons: Traffic, I-85 interchange

Six years ago the residents of Suwanee voted to more than double their property taxes. The payoff: a boost from 28 acres of green space to more than 270, and a feeling of investment in their hometown. That's abundantly clear at the newly developed Town Center. Built on a heavily trafficked downtown corner, it meshes park space, retail and office properties and housing into one multiuse plaza - and residents have embraced it in a big way. Housing is reasonable, and schools are topnotch.

Though the town has planned recent development deliberately, the area around Interstate 85, which runs through Suwanee's southeastern corner, lacks for aesthetics but not for congestion. Still, the rest of the city has a lot to offer.
