Patient FYI Award Of Excellence Certificate

Press Release

Center For Advanced Dentistry, Receives PatientFYI “Award of Excellence”

New Quarterly Award Honors Dentists With Excellent Patient Satisfaction Scores In Key Service Categories

Irvine, CA, February 1^st, 2010 — PatientFYI (www.patientfyi.com), the innovative new patient referral search engine, today announced that Center for Advanced Dentistry, of Swannee, GA, has received its Award of Excellence, which recognizes dentists whose patients have identified them as providing excellent services within the areas of Treatment Results, Practice Capabilities and Patient Communications.

“Center for Advanced Dentistry’s patients have overwhelmingly expressed their highly favorable opinions regarding the services provided by this practice, and PatientFYI is proud to recognize them for accomplishing these excellent results,” said Jason Szczuka, PatientFYI President.  “A key aspect of PatientFYI is ‘patients helping patients’ by writing about their own experiences, and those dentists who really stand out in the eyes – and words – of their patients deserve to be recognized through this innovative new award”. 

PatientFYI’s service-specific Referral Structure was developed collaboratively by dentists and patients as a means of identifying the comprehensive insights that today’s patients expect when looking for a dentist, and then maximizing the value of that information by presenting it in a way that makes it easy for patients to understand and act on.

“Our mission is to empower patients with the knowledge and comfort level that when they walk into the office of a dental practice they found on PatientFYI they’ll know they’ve made the right choice for their specific needs,” said Szczuka. “And when it comes to Center for Advanced Dentistry’s patients, the superior satisfaction they expressed on PatientFYI shows that they know they made a great choice.” 

Beginning this year, the PatientFYI Award of Excellence will be presented each quarter to dentists who achieve a highly satisfied patient base during the previous quarter, as reflected by Patient Experience Referrals submitted on www.PatientFYI.com.

In February, for over sixty years, dentists, parents, and children all across America observe National Children’s Dental Health Month. This all began as a one-day event in Cleveland, Ohio on February 3rd, 1941, and the first national observance of Children’s Dental Health Day was held on February 8th, 1949. It has since grown into a month-long celebration. Our message of the importance of oral health goes out to millions of children and adults in communities across the country, and includes such events as health fairs, dental office tours, and visits to the classroom by dentists and hygienists. Dr. Ushma Patel has volunteered at a local school giving educational programs to several Pre-K children’s classes on how to take care of their teeth and talking to them about nutrition.

One of the reasons for this special annual event is that many people are still unaware of the very important role early dental care plays in our children’s overall health and well-being. We strongly recommend that parents take action early to ensure the health of their children’s teeth because attitudes and habits established at an early age are critical in maintaining good oral health throughout life.

Children’s teeth are meant to last a lifetime, and a healthy smile is important to a child’s self-esteem. With proper care, a balanced diet and regular dental visits, their teeth can remain healthy and strong.

Please make sure that we see your child within six months of the eruption of the first tooth, and certainly no later than the child’s first birthday. Preventive care such as cleanings and fluoride treatments provide your child with “smile insurance” for a lifetime!

If you wish for any further information on any aspect of your child’s dental and oral health in the Atlanta area and surrounding cities of Johns Creek, Duluth, Cumming or Alpharetta, please call us at 770-884-7151 or visit us on the web at http://www.HiTechSmiles.com

Kick the Smoking Habit

I’m sure you’re very familiar with the smoking lecture. Not only do tobacco products taste awful to your partner, but they put you at greater risk for oral cancer and periodontal (gum) disease. Why put so much effort into knocking your sweetheart’s socks off if you aren’t going to be around to pick them up? If you don’t kick the habit for your partner, do it for yourself.

Don’t Chew Gum

The best smooches are spur of the moment, so it’s best to be prepared for them. Besides, sugary gum can lead to tooth decay, AKA cavities. If you must chew gum (maybe you want your breath to be in top shape), choose a sugar-free variety.

Brush and Floss

Nothing leaves an impression like bad breath, but it’s not the kind of attention you want. Besides, healthy white teeth will help you build confidence in your smile. Brushing your teeth and gums is a good start, but take it a step further and floss each night. You’ll dislodge food particles and remove odor-causing, not to mention tissue- and tooth-destroying, bacteria. If you don’t have your toothbrush handy after you eat, at least rinse your mouth out with warm water. There are also a number of handy little dental products available for great breath on the go.

Take good care of your partner by caring for yourself. If you find that your gums are exceptionally tender or swollen, or if you have habitually bad breath, make an appointment with our office for a check up!
