Suwanee Dental Care Diva Interview

Can a simple dental screening save your life?

Did you know that dentists are now performing early detection tests for heart disease and several other serious illnesses?

Recent studies of over a years worth of cases show that 1/5 of patients with periodontal disease who were tested with this FDA approved blood tests by their dental professionals were afterward diagnosed by their physicians with serious illnesses such as; pre-diabetes, diabetes, cancer, heart attack etc.

This is the bottom line, your dentist could save your life with a simple finger prick test!

Because people see their dentist more frequently then their doctor in most cases, dentist play a crucial role in the early detection of these serious conditions.

The most common warning sign of more then twenty serious illnesses is bleeding gums. Some of these conditions include; pre-diabetes, diabetes, cancer and heart disease.

If your gums bleed when you brush or floss you need to ask us about this simple C-Reactive Protein test at your next visit!

Suwanee Dental Care Team

Suwanee Dental Care now offers OraVerse®, the first and only local anesthesia reversal agent

Numbness associated with dental procedures can be gone twice as fast!

We are now offering OraVerse to patients who don’t want that lingering numbness after local anesthetics. After administrating OraVerse, a patient can return to normal sensation twice as fast. In clinical trials, patients have reported a return as quickly as 30 minutes after receiving OraVerse. For details visit http://www.oraverse.com/

OraVerse is the first and only local anesthesia reversal agent that accelerates the return to normal sensation and function for patients who want to avoid the unwanted and unnecessary lingering soft tissue numbness following routine dental procedures. The first-in-class product was officially launched earlier this year by the San Diego based company Novalar Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

The average duration of soft tissue numbness following the use of a local dental anesthetic is 3-5 hours. Numbness can lead to functional deficits. These deficits can result in difficulty with speaking, smiling, eating, drinking, biting of lip or cheek and uncontrolled drooling as well as give the patient a perceived sense of altered appearance. OraVerse has been proven to return a patient’s normal sensation twice as fast.

OraVerse has an excellent safety profile. There are no contraindications and no known drug interactions with OraVerse.

Come see us and check out Oraverse!

Orthodontic Day for One Diva

Mistie and I placed braces on Heather today after she had her interview with Atlanta's CBS TV show, Better Mornings Show with host Tracye Hutchins. Heather has a bite problem, called a psuedo-class III, where the lower teeth hit the upper incisors and that causes the lower jaw to come forward abnormally when she closes, making it appear that she has a "bulldog bite" or as some say, a "Jay Leno bite". What she actually has is not an over-sized lower jaw, like Leno, but rather a deflecting contact on her tooth in the front that makes her jaw slide forward and just appear to be an underbite, bulldog bite.

We are correcting that with orthodontics....and it will be amazing to see the difference in just a few months. Imagine, a solution for a lifetime of biting off balance in just three or four months! In the photo to the right you can see us applying the blue gel that etches the surface of the tooth which in turn give us the ability to attach orthodontic brackets to the teeth for a period of time.

We also want to let you know that the Atlanta Channel 46 CBS video TV segment has been put on the calendar to air on Tuesday March 23^rd.

^{If all goes as planned it will air during the Better Mornings Atlanta show from 5am till 7am at about 5:50am. And the last ten minutes of each of the following shows… the 12noon, the 4pm the 6pm and the 11pm as well.}

Later that day there will be a link to the story on our website on this page…

http://www.cbsatlanta.com/gooddeeds/index.html

After we place the brackets on the teeth, aligning the slots of the brackets so that the teeth move in the desired direction once the flexible orthodontic wire is placed in the mouth, her teeth will begin to move to the correct position and her underbite will gradually be corrected as the teeth move through the bone. Orthodontics works because teeth move through bone when small, constant pressure is applied to a tooth. The jaw bone actually is resorbed on one side of the tooth and is laid down on the other side as the tooth

literally migrates through the solid bone.

Because the lower teeth are in front of the upper teeth, we needed to bring the lower teeth back. This involved removing one tooth and making the size of the arch smaller, like having a smaller diameter circle in effect, so that the lower arch can fit inside the normal upper jaw. Make sense? Orthodontics is about spacial relationships, geometry and is one of the main reasons high school students have to know that stuff...in case they one day become dentists!

Suwanee Dental Care changes four lives today!

Little did our finalist in the Deserving Diva Makeover Contest know that today would be the day that would change their lives forever.

It started out with an idea that transformed into over 25o nominations telling us who you thought our "Deserving Diva" should be. We didn't take these stories lightly, we read every nomination we received and even shed some tears along with hopeful nominees.

Today, we invited four ladies to come into our office for a final interview.. or so they thought! Suwanee Dental Carewas originally planning for just one Deserving Diva but we were so compelled by these four ladies, that Dr. Williams, along with Dr. Golik and Dr. Smith are making over all four!

In our last blog we told you who was partnering with us to make these ladies over from head to toe! Now it's finally time to reveal WHO we are making over!

First we have Heather.. she is a wonderful and very deserving of this makeover. She says her smile makeover will be a dream come true! After loosing a significant amount of weight and starting to take care of herself again she said this smile makeover will be the finishing touch. Today Heather thought she was coming in for her final interview and we had the chance to tell her live on camera that she was one of our "Deserving Diva's"! Heather is involved in all kinds of local charities and ministries and is an active part of a missions ministry that travels all over internationally. She is in sales and is also very excited to have a renewed confidence through this smile makeover. Videos and blogging to to come! Stay tuned to see Heather's close up before pictures!

Second we have our Diva, Patti.. she is a Gwinnett County school teacher and has been self conscious of her teeth her whole life. Patti also thought she was coming in today for a final interview, we can't wait to show you footage of her reaction on camera when she too was told "You are the Suwanee Dental Care Deserving Diva"! Patti has always wanted this and tells us she covers her mouth when she smiles or laughs. This smile makeover is going to dramatically change Patti's life forever! She had

many people nominate her for this contest and has more of a story to share..

Our third Diva is Debra, she is a survivor of domestic violence. When she came in today she was sharing more of her story with us and it was just incredible. Debra has not only survived but she helps other women conquer and survive their own domestic violence situation. She is everything from a radio personality to a life coach. She was over joyed when we told her that he smile would be restored! She shared with us that her smile was something she lost for a long time but she has found it again and is ready to have the confidence to share it with the world!

Last but certainly not least is Gwendolyn. She is not only a nurse but a speaker for causes such as HIV prevention and other causes that are beyond commendable. She has been recognized with many accolades in her career for volunteering her time and giving back to her community. Gwendolyn is so excited to have her smile made over. She shared with us that it's something she has always been self conscious about. She came in all the way from South GA to what she thought was still a part of the elimination process. Instead she was met with the news that she was (also) a Deserving Diva! Her daughters joined her today and had a precious moment as Gwendolyn then was able to share with them her surprise!

We are so honored to be sharing the Deserving Diva Contest with you and these amazing ladies. Stay tuned for more blogging, story sharing, face booking, video footage and even photos!

Also check out our Deserving Diva Makeover Blog! Our Diva's themselves will be sharing with you as well as each of our local businesses partnering with us on this incredible journey. Look for the BIG REVEAL at the Gwinnett Magazine Diva Party this fall!

WHAT IS JAMES WEARING?

James Andrew - photographed by Justin Williams

WIJW had the great pleasure of spending some time with indie fashion photographer, Justin Williams on his recent visit to New York City.

We asked him a bit about his craft -
The “lens acts as a teleporter of emotions” he told us with his disarmingly soothing Southern drawl - I seek “to make that elusive connection between viewer and subject.”

We were thrilled that Williams had a moment to capture this shot of yours truly. Poetic and yet authentically immediate, I do believe he has made that “elusive connection” a photographic reality for us here at WIJW!

James Andrew - photographed by Justin Williams

When he’s not snapping fashion pics, our well rounded Southern gent is also quite altruistic, having donated his substantial talents in a documentary capacity to the Kenya Medical Outreach organization.

For this beautifully atmospheric image, I’m wearing a wool tweed check topcoat by Gucci, wool Fair Isle cardigan in olives and blues by Michael Bastian, Tom Ford brown end on end cotton shirt with french cuffs and contrast white collar, Vintage moonstone cufflinks, black watch tartan wool pants by Paul Smith, python belt with silver double horsehead buckle by Gucci, Sermoneta forest green leather gloves, “Cartography” necklace (more on these in an upcoming post) and not seen Gucci brown leather “Chelsea” boots.

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.
