Meet Our Deserving Diva's 2011

Meet Nancy Reaves! She is one of our 3 Deserving Divas! Yes, that's right, we are going to have 3 ladies this year! We got to tell Nancy yesterday that she will be the recipient of a smile makeover this year! Nancy won the caregiver of the year award as she is the full time caregiver for her mother who is in the 4th stage of alzeimers. Nancy, like Dr. Williams and his wife, takes regular mission trips overseas to give back internationally. She is the wife of a minister and they currently pastor a church in Cumming. What a wonderful lady!

Our 2nd Deserving Diva this year is Barbara King! Barbara has an incredible story and we are honored to have the opportunity to give her the smile she has always wanted. She has been an incredible pillar in the community and has been a great source of strength for her family. With a wonderful daughter who is cystic fibrosis, they spend more days in the hospital then at home. You would never know it when you meet Barbara, she is a bright star.

Last but certainly not least we have Shefije Lika.. a single mother of five incredible kids. Shefije had so many people nominate her, they told us she is so deserving of this and after meeting her, we think so too. She has given back to her community whether it's by working with Autistic kids, tutoring the underprivileged she is committed to teaching kids life skills.

We are proud to announce to you the three ladies we will be giving a smile makeover this year. We can't wait to share their stories, bios, videos, blogs and more! Stay tuned for updates on your Deserving Diva's of 2011! Check our "Deserving Diva" facebook page!

The Right Toothbrush For Your

Do we always put alot of thought into choosing what kind of toothbrush we use. Well, as a general rule, I would have to say no. Most people are mainly interested in the color of toothbrush they purchase. Many family's have a system where every member has a color that has somehow been assigned to them. This way no one uses the wrong toothbrush. This is great, but when picking out our toothbrush, we need to start thinking about what we are getting it for. The job of a toothbrush is to reach and clean most areas of the teeth. The bristles of a toothbrush are very important when deciding on which one is the best for you. Soft bristled toothbrushes should be chosen as opposed to hard bristles which tend to cause gingival recession. Soft bristles are just more flexible and clean beneath the gingival margin without causing damage to your gums. We should also notice the size of the head of the toothbrush. The head should be small enough to get to the hard to reach areas of the teeth. We should replace our toothbrush every 3 months or when the bristles start to wear. You should also change your toothbrush after a cold, flu, sore throat, or mouth infection. Maybe this information will help you and the health of your mouth the next time you purchase a toothbrush.

Invisalign Express

Invisalign is clear dental braces. Invisalign Express is Invisalign for not so severe orthodontics. Traditional Invisalign may use up to 20 aligners on the upper and lower jaws. Invisalign Express uses 10 and under aligners. Invisalign Express is about half the fee of traditional Invisalign. Invisalign Express is wonderful for previous orthodontic cases that have relapsed.
If you are interested in moving your teeth without the metal look come see us for a consultation on options. We have just the right look for you!

Can Stress Affect Your Dental Health?

Are you battling stress in your life? These days it is more like who doesn't have some sort of stress in their life. It seems that there just aren't enough hours in the day to do all that we "think" we need to get done. A recent stress in America Survey found that nearly 40 percent of adults experience wakefulness at night because of stress. Stress can have many different side affects on our bodies. It can also have an impact on our dental health. One common side affect of stress is teeth grinding. Some people grind their teeth at night during their sleep and not even realize they are. This can cause headaches, sore jaws, or pain when biting. Making small changes in your lifestyle can reduce stress levels. Eating healthier would be a great place to start. Until your stress becomes more managable, there is an appliance that can help with your teeth grinding. A mouth guard. It will act as a cushion for teeth when you are grinding. This will take the pressure off of your teeth which is causing your discomfort. The dentists here at Suwanee Dental Care can evaluate and determine if teeth grinding maybe the cause of your pain and discomfort. Come in today and get on your way to feeling better.

New Year's Resolutions

It is the start of a new year. Many look at this time of year as a fresh start or a new beginning. A lot of people make "new year's resolutions" for things they would like to accomplish during the upcoming year. Many start a new diet, others exercise more, and some spend more time with family. There are so many things that we could do for ourselves in the new year. Have you thought about the oral health of you and your family this year. This is a great time of year to find a dentist. Simple dental health routines like visiting the dentist twice a year for exams and cleanings can help people minimize their risk for things such as periodontal disease. Some things that can be done at home are brushing at least twice a day and flossing once a day. This will be a resolution that will benefit you for years to come.
