CAN A SMILE REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

A New Spin on Capturing the Job you Want

TORRANCE, CA (May 26, 2009) - Eric Johnson, DDS believes your smile has everything to do with the success of a job interview. At his practice in Torrance, CA http://www.EricJohnsonDDS.com he regularly treats patients wanting to enhance their smile with the use of current, least-invasive treatment procedures.

On Thursday, June 18, 2009, Dr. Johnson is conducting FREE evaluations of your smile and may recommend the newest technique using LUMINEERS, contact lens – thin and completed in two visits. He will advise how to beautify your smile…especially for the job-seeking process.

According to Monster.com’s interview expert, “Linguists and psychologists have found 93% of communication is non-verbal, and a smile is a non-verbal clue that is an immediate rapport-builder.” Monster.com goes on to report, “Interviewers are often nervous, too. In 1/16 of a second we assess whether someone will harm, help or hurt us. A smile tells someone you’re not going to hurt them.”

Dr. Johnson is a highly trusted Dentist in the South Bay and enhancing a smile is a cosmetic service he provides. He is a 20-year veteran in the field of dentistry, holding current training in multiple procedures (including the latest periodontal surgery using a breakthrough technology that utilizes laser therapy that can actually regenerate new gum and bone tissue). He endeavors to utilize minimally-invasive procedures that are FDA approved.

ObamaCare -- OUCH!

Obama and our present Administration may succeed in wrecking healthcare in America. I am grateful I am not a physician, and apprehensive about being a patient. See this article in the Wall Street Journal.

Swine Flu and Your Dental Office

You are most likely aware that a national health emergency has been declared in the U.S. as a result of the swine flu scare. Though the U.S. has not seen many cases yet - and those that we have seen have been relatively mild - the outbreak has already killed otherwise healthy young people in Mexico.So everyone is a lot more aware of the flu right now. One of the nice things about our dental office is that the sterilization systems and techniques we use on a daily basis make it one of the safest places to work and treat patients.
We're doing our part to help protect the health of our patients. And we'd like your help!If you have any flu-like symptoms, please do not come in to our office. Rest assured that you will not be charged a missed appointment fee if you're not feeling well. Don’t get us wrong, we love seeing you and we never want to turn anyone away. However, the last thing we want is for our dental office to become a place where infection spreads. To protect our patients, we're doing everything we can to keep our team members healthy and not have sick patients in the waiting room.Here are some general tips for dealing with swine flu:
Wash your hands frequently, and avoid touching your mouth, nose or eyes.
At the first sign of illness, isolate yourself to protect others. (Authorities recommend you stay at home for at least 7 days after getting sick, as you could still infect others.)
If your flu symptoms are mild, stay home, and call your doctor; do not go the doctor's office or clinic.
If your symptoms become severe, call your doctor immediately and seek medical treatment.
We hope you're feeling healthy! If you have any questions or if we may be of assistance, call at 310.540.8800 or email us at info@EricJohnsonDDS.com
