Once Upon a Time...

Once upon a time a Prince was born. He was a precocious and wouldn't listen to any body's advice. He grew up,  and had the best the kingdom had to offer to eat and drink. He didn't like vegetables and never ate them. He didn't like to drink plain water and drank only ale and wine. He never brushed his teeth. He never flossed his teeth. He never saw a dentist. He developed terrible gum disease and had rampant tooth decay. The kingdom dentist could only pull his teeth because that was the dentistry of the time. His teeth fell out and he could only eat mush.

The moral of the story: Listen to good advice, drink fresh water, eat fresh fruits and vegetables,  brush and floss your teeth. Seriously.

Do You Have Dental Baggage?

It seems that we hear almost every day patients telling us that their spouse won't go to the dentist because of a bad experience. It is understandable to shy away from any experience if the last time wasn't pleasant. To put it in perspective, think about a hair cut. Most of us have had a bad hair cut. Most of us also do not stop getting hair cuts because of that. We just find a different hair stylist.
So, if you had a bad experience at a dentist, keep trying to find someone you can trust and feel comfortable with. If anxiety is part of the problem, we have several options to help you. It is always nice to hear a great  referral when choosing a new dentist or doctor. We ask our patients to give us feedback and want you to see what they say. Have a look at what one patients said.  If you would like to see what others are saying, click on this link for other testimonials.

 Exceptional Dentistry!


If you want exceptional dental care, expert cleanings and superb customer service.....then visit this practice!
Brian Johnson has put together a team of professionals who care for their patients' every need. I am pleased to add my voice to the many other patients who sing the praises of this dental office. All dentists are NOT the same...so treat yourself to the best! ~Pam P

Time is Ticking Away

We make every effort every day to maintain a tight schedule around here. Why is that? We know that your time is precious; and we are guessing that you don't want to waste any of it sitting in our very comfortable waiting area. We schedule ample time for each and every appointment from regular cleanings to complex restorative work.

The thing is, for our scheduling magic to work, we need our patients to value our time as well. We need for you to be punctual for your appointments. If you are just 5-10 late for your appointment, that tends to trickle down and effect every one's appointments.
How can you help us manage our schedule and keep the magic going for everybody?
  • allow time for traffic delays
  • turn your cell phone off
  • put your appointment in your calendar on the correct day and time
  • just show up on time

Choosing a Dentist

What is important to you choosing a dentist? Location, type of practice, insurance, office hours? We pride ourselves on running a low volume practice. This allows us to get to know each patient. Many times we run into our patients in the grocery store, at the ball field, at school functions, and all over our community. Customer service is important to us and we think it shows in how we serve our patients. Please take a moment to browse through some of our patient testimonials to see what they say. We are excited and proud to read each of them.


How do you choose a dentist? This can be very stressful. Many people ask their friends who their dentist is and if they recommend them. If you have just moved and can't do that, we welcome you to see what our patients say about us. You can click on this link to read all of our recent reviews.
I have included one from a patient here:
I have seen Dr. Johnson and his staff three times over the past year. I have seen him for two cleanings and I had my very first filling in 28 years a few months ago. I was extremely nervous but Dr. Johnson and his staff made me feel very comfortable and attended to my every need. I would without a doubt recommend this dental office to everyone! Dr. Johnson is a very kind and gentle dentist. When you walk in Debbie greets you like you have known her for years! The rest of the dental team have great personalities and are just the absolute best! LOVE these guys!! :)

Some need to use a dentist within their dental insurance network. We understand the need to maximize dental benefits and participate in many dental insurance PPO plans. If you don't see our name listed on your plan, we encourage you to call our office anyway.
 
So, if you have just moved to the area and need to find a new dentist, or just need to find a different office for other reasons; we hope that you will call to see how easy we can make it for you. We welcome you!

Celebrating 20 Years of Marriage and Dentistry

Debbie and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary this month. I celebrated a different kind of anniversay as well. I graduated from Medical College of Georgia in May 1990.  In January 1991, I bought into a dental practice in Roswell, GA. Since that time, I have continued in the same practice. My practice has certainly changed over time. I started out as an associate dental to Dr John Mathews. Soon after, practiced in a partnership until 1999. Since that time, I have practiced alone. We relocated the practice in 2008. We have watched the North Fulton area change along the way.

It has been my pleasure to serve the dental needs of my community for the last 20 years. I look forward to the next phase of my practice!

Is Your Tongue Like a Shaggy Carpet?

I ran across this article on bad breath and oral health. I think it is quite good.
Brian Johnson

According to WebMD:
Don't let your tongue become a dirty carpet.

Bad breath often strikes when people aren't properly taking care of their oral health. The odor is usually caused by decaying food particles and bacteria in your mouth. That's why brushing and flossing your teeth is so important, but don't forget to gently brush your tongue to get rid of even more bacteria.



A clean tongue goes a long way to warding off bad breath, says Stephen Z. Wolner, a dentist in private practice in New York City. "Your tongue microscopically is like a shaggy carpet. There are millions of filaments on your tongue that trap tiny food particles and bacteria," he says. Get in the habit of regularly cleaning your tongue using a toothbrush, the edge of a spoon, or a tongue cleaner. If you have any mouth guards or oral devices, make sure to clean them thoroughly before putting them back in your mouth.



Mouthwash isn't a bad idea, but it's only a temporary fix. Granted, a little mouthwash comes in handy before a romantic dinner for two, but it masks the odor instead of tackling the source of your problem.



Chew gum like it's going out of style.

Believe it or not, saliva is your best weapon against bad breath. That's why dry mouth, often caused by certain medications or medical conditions, leads to odor problems. By washing away food particles and bacteria, saliva helps to eliminate odor, too.



If you're wondering why your breath stinks in the morning, it's largely because saliva production slows while you sleep, allowing particles and odor to linger longer. That's where sugarless gum comes in handy, as chewing it will stimulate saliva production. Mints, on the other hand, don't usually stimulate saliva production and only temporarily mask bad odor.



"When you chew gum it makes you salivate, and the more saliva you have in your mouth the fewer bacteria you have. It not only mechanically washes bacteria out, but we have antiseptic and enzymes in our saliva that kill bacteria," says Wolner.



While anything that makes you salivate will improve your breath, a gum that is sweetened with xylitol is your best option. Xylitol is a sugar substitute that not only increases salvation but also works to prevent bacteria from replicating in the mouth.



Choose cinnamon -- it's sweeter.

A recent study of the cinnamon-flavored gum Big Red found that cinnamon might have breath-odor fighting abilities. Unlike other flavors, cinnamon is not just a cover-up, Wolner tells WebMD. In fact, he says, an ingredient in the flavoring appears to actually decrease the bacteria in your mouth. The only problem is that sugar gums are bad for your teeth, so stick to sugarless cinnamon-flavored gum instead.

Roswell Dentist Speaks Out on Bad Breath

What do Barney, Puff the Magic Dragon, Norbert ( Harry Potter), Elliot(Pete's Dragon), and Mushu (Mulan) have in common? Why they are all dragons, of course! So,...logic would tell us that they should have dragon breath. Let's let them have their claim to fame!
People shouldn't have dragon breath. It is not pleasant and can be a symptom of medical and dental conditions that require a visit to your doctor or dentist. The most common cause of bad breath is simply bacteria. Nice, right? Bacteria lives all over our body; but loves our mouths. Think about it, our mouths are dark, damp, and provides a food source for the pesky microbes. Guess what, bacteria in themselves don't smell. Only their waste products. Great. Here are some words for you to chew on , so to speak...

•Cadaverine - the smell we associate with corpses.

•Putrescine - the compound responsible for much of the foul odor produced by decaying meat.

•Skatole - the characteristic smell of human fecal matter.

•Isovaleric Acid - the smell of sweaty feet.
 
These all can be present in your mouth. Feel like running and brushing and flossing. I know I do just reading this!
 
Not to worry. Excellent home oral hygiene and regular visits to your dental hygienist will be a great step toward fresh smelling breath!

Roswell Dentist- Tonsil Stones , One Cause of Bad Breath

I would probably never have thought to write about "tonsil stones" if our daughter had not run downstairs completely grossed out that something had fallen out of her tonsils. I have had the pleasant experience of this happening to my wife; but it was before the wonderful world of the internet. At that time, we figured it was gone never to be seen again...

After a quick Google search, I realized that these little white/yellow bits of nastiness that fall out of tonsils are called "Tonsilloliths", or "Tonsil Stones". According to WebMD,
What Causes Tonsil Stones?

Your tonsils are filled with nooks and crannies where bacteria and other materials, including dead cells and mucous, can become trapped. When this occurs, the debris can become concentrated in white formations that occur in the pockets.

Tonsil stones, or tonsilloliths, are formed when this trapped debris hardens, or calcifies. This tends to occur most often in people who suffer from chronic inflammation in their tonsils or repeated bouts of tonsillitis.

While many people have small tonsilloliths that develop in their tonsils, it is quite rare to have a large and solidified tonsil stone.

What Are the Symptoms of Tonsil Stones?

Many small tonsil stones do not cause any noticeable symptoms. Even when they are large, some tonsil stones are only discovered incidentally on X-rays or CT scans. Some larger tonsilloliths, however, may have multiple symptoms:

Bad breath . One of the prime indicators of a tonsil stone is exceedingly bad breath, or halitosis, that accompanies a tonsil infection. One study of patients with a form of chronic tonsillitis used a special test to see if volatile sulfur compounds were contained in the subjects' breath. The presence of these foul-smelling compounds provides objective evidence of bad breath. The researchers found that 75% of the people who had abnormally high concentrations of these compounds also had tonsil stones. Other researchers have suggested that tonsil stones be considered in situations when the cause of bad breath is in question.

Sore throat . When a tonsil stone and tonsillitis occur together, it can be difficult to determine whether the pain in your throat is caused by your infection or the tonsil stone. The presence of a tonsil stone itself, though, may cause you to feel pain or discomfort in the area where it is lodged.

White debris. Some tonsil stones are visible in the back of the throat as a lump of solid white material. This is not always the case. Often they are hidden in the folds of the tonsils. In these instances, they may only be detectable with the help of non-invasive scanning techniques, such as CT scans or magnetic resonance imaging.

Difficulty swallowing. Depending on the location or size of the tonsil stone, it may be difficult or painful to swallow foods or liquids.

Ear pain. Tonsil stones can develop anywhere in the tonsil. Because of shared nerve pathways, they may cause a person to feel referred pain in the ear, even though the stone itself is not touching the ear.

Tonsil swelling. When collected debris hardens and a tonsil stone forms, inflammation from infection (if present) and the tonsil stone itself may cause a tonsil to swell or become larger.

So, it looks like tonsil stones are fairly harmless; but the bad breath that they can cause are troublesome. Warm salt water rinses can help the body to rid the tonsils of the stones and other bad breath causing bacteria. If the problem persists, it is recommended that you see a physician.

Do You Have a Personal Trainer For Your Mouth?

If you have every used a personal trainer, you know what they do. They encourage you to take care of your body through regular exercise and a healthy diet. The first time I used one, I felt very self conscious. I was nervous to schedule the appointment. I was embarrassed to let her see how out of shape I was. I hear from NEW patients that they feel that way about going to a new dentist. This is especially so, if it has been a while since they last saw a dentist. They are afraid of what the dentist will think of them and embarrassed that they have waited so long in between visits. For some patients, it has been as long as 10 years since their last dental visit. These are some of the things patients have told us over the years.
  • They have been anxious about choosing a dentist.
  • They are also nervous about calling the new office.
  • They are nervous about getting dental x-rays taken.
  • They are nervous that something big will be wrong with their mouth.
  • They are nervous about driving to /finding the office.

Here is a little secret, we are probably the least scary people I know. We area great team who are VERY good at what we do. What we do is give you exceptional dental care with exceptional customer service.
We will help you overcome all of the above fears, as well as the ones that live in your own head. 

Want to hear something really scary? Dr Johnson  tells every patient to stay on a regular cleaning schedule. He tells patients to take care of their teeth to the best of their ability. Not so scary? I didn't think so. Just think of us as your personal trainer for your mouth! Don't wait another day to meet us!

Put the Oxygen Mask on Yourself Before Your Children

Every time I fly, I hear the "if the oxygen masks fall, please put your oxygen mask on first before helping any small children". This flies in the face of all that a parent holds dear. We always care for our children before ourselves.

We see this in our office as well. Parents bring their children in with braces on their teeth. They pull into the parking lot almost on 2 wheels trying to balance ballet, baseball, football, and music lessons. We all do these things because we want them to have the best and be well rounded. When we recommend treatment for the parents, many times they say it is just not in the budget. Ballet, baseball, and music lessons add up.

However, some times you should put the oxygen mask on yourself first. You should also take care of your oral health. After all, you only have to take care of the teeth that you want to keep. Which ones do you want to keep?

Roswell Dentist -Team Spotlight- Meet Debbie

I would  like to introduce myself. I am Debbie Johnson and married to Dr. Johnson. I  function as the team leader for our practice. Some offices have office managers. I prefer my title because our team functions so well that I don't really manage them, just coordinate. I manage the appointment schedules,  practice financial business, and all advertisement/social media campaigns. I am also the amateur blogger. Mostly, I want to welcome our patients into our family business and help them to feel happy and comfortable while you visit with us.

Our mission is simple. We treat our patients the way we want to be treated. We want to help you to have the best and most healthy smile possible. We have worked very hard in selecting just the right team members and are very proud of them. Every day I get compliments on our great team. We take care of them so that we can all work together to create a pleasant environment for our patients. Laughter is important in our office. Many new patients comment on how comfortable they feel when they leave.

Brian and I have been married almost twenty years and have two children. I have worked in some capacity in our family business since 1999. I laughingly say that this is my third and favorite career. I graduated from the University of Alabama in the Capstone College of Nursing. I have worked in pediatrics my entire nursing career. I have worked at Children's Hospital in Birmingham, Egleston Children's Hospital, Scottish Rite Children's Hospital, and Pediatric Outpatient Surgery Center. My second career was staying home with our children when they were young. I now enjoy full freedom to guide our business. Our children say that I am obsessed with Chick Fil A; but I am mesmerized by their business model and by their customer service.

Call today, it will be "our pleasure to serve you"!

Roswell Dentist- Effects of Eating Disorders on Oral Health

Anorexia and bulimia can damage your teeth in several ways. A bulimic individual engages in a cycle of binge eating and vomiting. The stomach acids in the vomit pass through the mouth and can erode tooth enamel, causing cavities, discoloration and tooth loss. Since teeth appear worn and yellow, a dentist may be the first to notice signs of this eating disorder. Cosmetic dentistry can help correct deteriorated tooth enamel.

In anorexia, semi-starvation deprives the body of the nutrients it needs. Osteoporosis can develop, weakening the bones in the jaw that support teeth, leading to tooth loss.

In both diseases, it is critical to treat the underlying causes that lead to anorexia and bulimia as well as the dental complications resulting from them. While a dentist can correct the deteriorated tooth enamel, he or she cannot treat the actual eating disorder. Should you have an eating disorder —or think you might —talk to your physician.

Thanks to Colgate for this informative article

Over the years, I have seen patients who have recovered from purging eating disorders. They deal with the sensitivity associated with the erosion of the enamel. There are some treatments available to assist this

Are You a Dental Procrastinator?

Most of us are procrastinators when it comes to our dental health. You know the story...you visit the dentist, we tell you that you have some old fillings that are leaking, breaking down, and we see decay around the margins. You should either have them replaced with composite (tooth colored, resin) fillings or even have them replaced with a crown due to extensive decay or cracks. You know you should just pull the trigger and schedule the appointment, but you don't really want to. So, you wait, and wait, and wait. Then you schedule a trip out of town and you break your tooth. All of a sudden, you wish you had just had the work done when you could have planned it. Now you have to wait to get back in town before you can get your tooth fixed.

Please treat your teeth like you want to keep them and take care of your necessary dental work! Trust me, it isn't all that scary...read the last post, "Diary of an Anxious Dental Patient". I did it..and I'm married to the dentist! We have so many distractions that we will be finished before you know it! There are T.V.s at each operatory, headphones with your choice of music, nitrous oxide ( laughing gas), and the best dentist and staff around. So, what you waiting for???Just call and do it!

If It Ain't Broke, Should You fix It?

We've all heard the old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". While I agree with it as a general rule, there are exceptions. Your teeth is one such exception. You may be walking around with old fillings that allowing bacteria to take up residence deep inside your teeth. This causes decay and if left untreated, can be a serious source of infection, aka abscess. These kind of infections can leave your tooth/teeth unrestorable. This means that extraction becomes necessary. While dentistry has come a long way in the last 20 years in regard to tooth replacement options, they can be costly and time consuming. A single filling can usually be accomplished in less than an hour and for under $300. If you are lucky enough to have dental insurance, your out of pocket expense will likely be under $100.

So, you may not want to leave well enough alone, you need to decide what is well enough. In many cases, it is already broken to some degree. So just fix your tooth!

Family Dentistry in the Newly Aging Patient

What does family dentistry mean? In our office, it means that we provide comprehensive dental care to your entire family. It means that our family takes care of your family. It means that we care about our staff like they are members of our family.

We have found that the patient in their fifties and sixties to be very enjoyable and easy to treat. Generally, they have raised their children to an age that they have gained great perspective. With that perspective comes the understanding that they need to take care of themselves and their health. They are enjoying or will be enjoying retirement very soon. Some of our patients have had implants placed recently to replace lost teeth and are thrilled with the results!

Our patients in this age range are aging very gracefully and we learn from all of them! I think we learn more from them than we teach them about oral health! It is our pleasure to serve our patients needs. We hope you have enjoyed the series on Family Dentistry at the various stages of life. Please take a moment to read all of the posts!

Family Dentistry....Am I Really Middle Aged?

What does family dentistry mean? In our office, it means that we provide comprehensive dental care to your entire family. It means that our family takes care of your family. It means that we care about our staff like they are members of our family. Since family dentistry is so important to our mission statement, we have alot to say about it. Today, our topic is the oral health of our patients in their forties.

When we hit our forties, many things start to fall apart. I'm there. I feel your pain. From a dental perspective, old fillings will start to break down and require either replacement or crown placement. Your life begins to be more stressful. I'm blaming my stress on my teenagers! I hear complaints every day of jaw pain related to teeth clenching and grinding. A simple solution to this is wearing a night guard to prevent night time grinding. Debbie and I both wear them and have seen marked improvement. Besides the jaw pain of grinding, you will also see a gradual wearing of your teeth. So, early intervention is very important.

This is the age group that we begin to see in increase in endodontic problems(root canals). It is really important to take care of these as they become a problem. Left untreated, they will get worse. I promise. While a root canal and crown is expensive, it is still less expensive than what will happen next if left untreated.

Men and women in their forties have the financial stresses of raising a family, paying for the children's activities, clothes, etc. It just seems like everyday expenses take priority over their dental health. We hear all the time how families are paying for expensive sports, schools, etc but haven't budgeted money to care for their teeth. This is unfortunate. We try to offer some payment options for the more expensive procedures.

What Does Family Dentistry Mean? "Youth is Wasted on Young Adults"

What does family dentistry mean? In our office, it means that we provide comprehensive dental care to your entire family. It means that our family takes care of your family. It means that we care about our staff like they are members of our family. Since family dentistry is so important to our mission statement, we have alot to say about it. Today, our topic is the oral health of the young adult.
For the most part young adults enjoy the most carefree oral health. They are diligent in caring for their teeth, and generally have a minimal of decay and major restorative needs. This age group just needs encouragement to to keep on keeping on. On occasion, we will need to fill a small cavity or replace an old filling. Oral health during pregnancy is very important and we try to provide the necessary support to our expecting moms.
