In 1917, the Mistletoe Girl Scout Troop in Muskogee, Oklahoma, baked the first box of Girl Scout cookies. They sold them in their high school cafeteria as a community service project and they were a big hit, leading to the tradition of yearly Girl Scout cookie sales that we all enjoy today. But, while the Sooner State may be the Home of the Girl Scout cookie, eating too many can leave lasting damage to your teeth. Excess sugars can lead to plaque buildup, cavities, gum disease, and worse health issues if not taken care of. That’s not to say you shouldn’t enjoy a sweet treat now and then. Healthy teeth require a balance of delicious foods and daily oral care. So next time you purchase a box of Thin Mints, make sure you stock up on good toothpaste and floss too!

He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, graduating Cum Laude from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. During his time at the U of A, Dr. Johnson met his wife, Jo Tynon Johnson, who now works as an ER nurse at Baptist Hospital. After completing his undergraduate studies, Dr. Johnson pursued his first passion, working as a Research Process Engineer at E & J Gallo Winery in central California.

    While working in California, Dr. Johnson realized his true calling was in dentistry. Coming from a “dental family” deeply rooted in the profession, this transition felt natural. His father, George J. Johnson Jr., has practiced general dentistry in Fort Smith for over 40 years at Willow Creek Dental Clinic, and his brother, Chad Johnson, is an orthodontist in North Carolina. Additionally, his brother-in-law practices general dentistry in Bethel, Alaska.

    Determined to pursue his new path, Dr. Johnson attended LSU School of Dentistry in New Orleans, where he earned his Doctorate in Dental Surgery.

He also gained recognition for his involvement in dental research, presenting his work at conferences in Memphis and Washington, D.C. Dr. Johnson’s exceptional clinical performance earned him several prestigious awards at graduation, including the Southern Academy of Prosthodontics Award, the American Academy of Esthetics Award, and a scholarship from LSU’s Dean, Dr. Henry Gremillion, to attend the Dawson Academy, a renowned institute for advanced dental education.

    After dental school, Dr. Johnson completed a year-long Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency in Birmingham, Alabama. During this time, he worked exclusively at the VA Hospital Dental Clinic, providing care for U.S. military veterans. His focus during this residency was on gaining his IV sedation certification and further developing his skills in implantology.

    In addition to his passion for dentistry, Dr. Johnson is a proud member of the Arkansas Army National Guard, where he serves as a Major and practices dentistry at Camp Robinson Medical Command in North Little Rock. He also actively contributes to the dental community as a former Secretary of the Fort Smith Dental Association and a member of several organizations, including the Academy of General Dentistry, Arkansas Dental Association, International College of Dentists, and the American Dental Association.

    Dr. Johnson returned to Fort Smith in 2013 and joined the River Valley Smile Center team. He also works part-time at his father’s dental practice. As a father of two boys, River and Atlas, Dr. Johnson enjoys spending time with his family, engaging in outdoor activities such as flying his para-glider, vegetable gardening, paddling, fishing, and camping. Despite his travels, he remains a dedicated Razorback fan, supporting his alma mater through thick and thin.

What are dental veneers?

t
tenderness-screener-870

Veneers are thin, custom-made porcelain shells. They are bonded to the front (buccal) surface of teeth to improve their appearance. These dental restorations are usually made from either porcelain or composite resin. They are tailored to match the natural color and shape of your teeth. This popular cosmetic procedure can correct many imperfections, including chipped, cracked, stained, short, or misaligned teeth. One of the benefits of getting veneers is the transformation it can have on your smile. If you have stained teeth that do not respond well to teeth whitening treatments, veneers can provide a lasting solution by covering the stains and defects and giving you a whiter, more youthful smile. Veneers can improve the look of one's teeth. With minor misalignment, they are eliminating the necessity of extensive orthodontic treatment. Another key advantage of veneers is their ability to repair defective, chipped or cracked teeth. The dentist can restore the tooth's shape and strength by placing a veneer over the surface of the damaged tooth while achieving a seamless blend with the surrounding Veneers. This can help enhance the looks of your teeth. It can even help close small gaps between them, providing a more uniform smile. Additionally, veneers are very durable and resistant to staining, letting you to enjoy a beautiful smile without worrying about coffee or wine stains. Taking care of your teeth is essential and can be achieved via regular dental check-ups and persistently good oral hygiene habits. Veneers are no exception, but with proper dental care, they can maintain their natural appearance and functionality for a very long time. If you are considering getting veneers in Brooklyn, NY, finding a skilled and experienced dentist near you is of paramount. Find a dentist specializing in cosmetic dentistry with a good track record of successful veneer placement. Reading online patient reviews and testimonials can provide wonderful insights into the quality of dental care and outcomes you can expect. When you consult with a dentist in NYC or Brooklyn, they will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals and expectations, and work with you to create a veneer plan that is personalized to you. If you are a good candidate for dental porcelain veneers, the dentist will prepare (gently cut) your teeth by removing a small layer of surface enamel to ensure a proper shape for the veneers. Then, they will take 3D digital scans or impressions of your teeth to create custom veneers that suit your unique smile. Once the veneers are fabricated, the dentist will bond them to the enamel of your teeth, making any necessary optimizations for ideal fit and appearance. In summary, dental veneers are a versatile cosmetic dental solution for enhancing your smile. Whether you have short, stained, chipped, or misaligned teeth, veneers can offer a long-lasting and natural-looking solution. By selecting a skilled cosmetic dentist, you can achieve the smile you've always desired. Start your journey toward a confident smile by booking your first consultation.

It was so easy to find a doctor and make an appointment. I didn't have to take hours to call different offices and find out who takes my insurance and who doesn't.

I'm a freelancer, so I can't buy insurance easily, so I always ended up paying a lot for doctors' visits. I signed up for a Doctors Network dental plan, and my dental cleanings cost only $25 now. If you don't have dental insurance I highly recommend it.

I fell off my bike and chipped my front tooth. I was able to find and book an appointment online right away. Next time I need an appointment I'll try Doctors Network again.
