Understanding why in-home care management makes a difference Brought to you by — Home Helpers of Alpharetta At Home Helpers of North Atlanta, we know that it’s important to go beyond an initial care plan when you or your loved one needs assistance with the activities of daily living. It takes a holistic approach that looks at the big picture, providing a proactive level of Care Management that builds a continuous collaboration with our skilled team, our clients and their families. Let’s take a look at what goes into Care Management and how it can be life changing for you or your older loved one. It takes an elevated level of communication and coordination to anticipate needs, and not just react. Our Integrated Wellness Plan looks to balance five major areas that are so important to be able to thrive. They include assessing the safety of the current situation, whether nutrition and hydration needs are being met, what kind of physical activity is being followed, mental health, and the levels of social and emotional support. Care Management is the critical link to not just address today’s situation but anticipate change and help coordinate what can be complex needs for you or your loved one. The question we constantly seek to answer is where are you today, and what can we do to help move your best quality of life forward? It’s important to adapt quickly and help navigate change as loved ones face their own unique situations. When our clients need home health services like physical or occupational therapy, hospice care or the use of assistance devices, we can make recommendations for providers of those services. Care
Management will also help with therapy homework, to ensure a speedier recovery. In today’s world it’s not enough to set up a care plan and make a wonderful match of a heart centered caregiver to client. It takes proactive attention to detail by a team that has depth and skill. We have revamped our teams and added Care Managers that form a critical link with our families as needs arise. It lets us pivot more quickly and address the questions and concerns clients have in real time. This lets us proactively work with our clients or their families to offer solutions and ideas before issues become critical, making our knowledge and experience a resource that is available for them. Change is constant - with our amazing caregivers and staff we strive to anticipate, recognize and address those changes. Being able to respond quickly and provide Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and deliver extensive infection control training are just two of the ways our Care Management approach has helped us address the critical issues of COVID-19. For many of our families, seeing their older loved ones thrive at home is an alternative they view as a lifesaving decision. We’re here to help - from six hours a day, several days a week to 24/7 and live-in care. A Home Helpers caregiver has the skills to assist with all personal care, help around the house, safely speed up recovery from surgery, or provide specialized care for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, etc. For a free consultation please call Home Helpers of North Atlanta at (678) 430-8511.

Healthy Halloween: Celebrating safely during a pandemic By DANNY BRANSTETTER medical director of Infection Prevention, Wellstar Health System Millions of people in the U.S. and around the globe, including children of all ages, look forward to the festivities of Halloween. But – lest we forget – we are still in the midst of a global pandemic, which means doing things differently. How can we celebrate safely, keeping our families, friends, and neighbors safe from community spread of COVID-19, which is so important to everyone’s health and well-being? Based on the CDC guidelines, Wellstar offers our top six tips for a healthy Halloween celebration. Simply think “GHOSTS.”
G GRAB-N-GO treats: Putting out a bowl for all the neighbors’ kids to dig their hands in is not advised, since children can carry the virus and share it widely with others this way. Lining candies up along the driveway or along a fence “Grab-n-Go” style means kids can pick up a treat while minimizing viral spread. Get creative and think about safety! H HAVE FUN with costumes and celebrate HEALTHCARE HEROES: Masks are highly recommended to help minimize the spread of the virus, so have fun with incorporating them into costumes. Let kids use fabric paint, glued-on sequins, or stickers to decorate a mask to match. Kids two and older are advised to wear a mask. Even better – suggest that kids dress up as a “Healthcare Hero” – a doctor, nurse, or first responder, for example – to honor all the work of frontline caregivers during the pandemic. Share photos on social media with the hashtag #HalloweenHealthcareHero. O OUTSIDE is the best place to celebrate: Weather and health permitting, being outside can promote air flow and help minimize close contact with others. If you have people coming
to your home for Halloween, consider sitting outside while kids “Grab-n-Go” treats you have spaced out for them. For those celebrating, just because you are outdoors does not mean you should relax mask-wearing, short interaction times, and social distancing.
S SANITIZE often and well: Just like the Wellstar Safety Kid Rap says, “Don’t forget to keep it clean and sanitize.” Take wipes and sanitizer to use frequently while trick-or-treating with kids and guide them on the safety measures that will help keep everyone COVID-free. If kids are visiting your home for “Grab-
n-Go” treats, keep your hand sanitizer handy, too.
T TECHNOLOGY can help connect: If you have a household with immuno-compromised members, think about a Zoom pumpkin-carving contest, costume fashion show, or online maskdecorating party. There are so many ways that video conferencing solutions can help people connect and have fun, while staying safe. S STAY AT HOME if you don’t feel well or if you have been exposed to COVID: We want everyone to have fun
this Halloween, but we also want everyone to stay safe and well, and stop the spread of COVID-19. If you feel unwell, use technology to connect with friends, family, and neighbors, but stay home so you can get better and not contribute to community spread of the virus. The sooner we can stop the spread, the sooner we will be able to safely gather and celebrate holidays. No matter how you choose to celebrate Halloween and the autumn season with fun activities during the pandemic, be sure and refer to the CDC Guidelines for specific guidance on how to stay safe and well.
IN STOCK: Compliant State Law COVID-19 Signs Gov. Brian Kemp signed Senate Bill 359, a bill intended to protect small businesses, healthcare providers, religious and education organizations, government offices and volunteer organizations and other organizations from civil liability related to the spread of COVID-19. Businesses can help protect themselves by posting a sign at the point of entry saying that the customer or client assumes the risk by entering. • Yellow or white • Multiple sizes

Specialist Conservative Dentistry: in Integrative What does it mean to you? Oncology Brought to you by — North Fulton Smiles
Cancer Treatments Including: IV Vitamin C Fractionated Chemotherapy Nutrition Supplementation
Conservative dentistry is the idea of delivering dental care and solutions by preserving dental structures. It is the notion that a patient’s dental care is taken into account along the continuum of his/her dental health, rather than merely”fixing a hole on a tooth.” It takes into account several factors that are related to the individual patient- age, diet, previous dental care, tendencies towards dental conditions, overall health factors, dexterity, preventative care, compliance, etc. A patient’s individual treatment plan is derived with all the above factors in mind rather than a cookie cutter plan that merely repairs an issue. Careful consideration is taken to understand the source of the issues, to derive a diagnosis, and to formulate a treatment plan to restore without compromising the teeth and to mitigate future problems. It is a holistic approach to what is required to repair and restore function and longevity. This takes a deliberation and intention to the patients overall care. The overarching concept is that we, as humans are given one set of permanent teeth and we are required to care for them for LIFE. It is
then that “less is more” becomes relevant as teeth and gums can only withstand so much dentistry, and preserving these dental and surrounding structures has a value of life long longevity. Early detection of problems, conservative treatments, additive procedures that don’t harm other teeth, preventative care, and routine maintenance care become the modality by which this can be achieved. One of our tag lines at North Fulton Smiles, “better tomorrow than we are today,” supports our treatment modality of Conservative dentistry. It is our goal to ensure that treatment rendered has been well thought out such that it serves the patient for a long period. In my 11 years of caring for patients at North Fulton Smiles, we have seen great success and gratification in treating patients of all ages in this manner. Let’s face it nothing lasts forever, but when dentistry has to be revisited, it should have served the patient well by lasting more than 10 years, and more importantly, not set back the patients dental health. A highly individualized treatment plan, using modern dental treatments, technologies and materials that preserve teeth can ensure greater success for a life time of sound dental health and happy smiles.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month Brought to you by — Dr. Jonathan Stegall, MD October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Excluding skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer in women, and the third leading DR. STEGALL cause of cancer death in women. The harsh reality is that we have all been affected by breast cancer, either personally or in a close family member or friend. Although there are several different types of breast cancer, the standard of care for treatment is typically some combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Women who have hormonal involvement will also be prescribed medication to address this. The success of these treatments typically hinges on how early the cancer is diagnosed, as cancer which has spread throughout the body has a much worse prognosis. For this reason, being proactive in terms of screening (e.g., routine breast exams and mammograms) is very important. In addition, I believe strongly that nutrition, supplementation, exercise, stress reduction, and a keen eye toward limiting harmful environmental exposures is critical in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. This well-rounded integrative approach, which embraces both conventional and natural therapies, is the future of breast cancer management! For more information about breast cancer, as well as other cancer types and anticancer strategies, please check out my bestselling book and podcast at cancersecrets.com.

Cosmetic dentistry — Are you happy with your smile? Brought to you by — Dr. David Remaley Roswell Dental Care While traditional dentistry focuses on oral hygiene and preventing, diagnosing and treating oral disease, cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of the teeth, mouth and smile. Most restorative, general and/or family dental practices address dental problems that require necessary treatment, whereas cosmetic dentistry provides elective – or desired – treatments or services. Cosmetic Trends Technological advancements in natural-looking, tooth-colored dental materials make today’s cosmetic dental treatments more durable and predictable than in years past. Additionally, dentists are now using more conservative techniques to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible, depending upon your specific clinical situation. What would you like to change about your smile? • Chips or rough spots: These can often be handled with dental bonding, which is the application of toothcolored composite resin to repair a decayed, chipped, fractured or discolored tooth. • Broken-down teeth: Porcelain crowns, inlays or onlays are usually used to handle broken-down teeth. • Uneven or misshapen teeth: Recontouring can reshape your teeth. Porcelain veneers are another option. • Stained or yellow teeth: Typically, teeth are whitened with bleaching or by applying porcelain veneers. • Cavities or silver (metal) fillings We use tooth-colored fillings and can also replace your unsightly metal fillings. • Gaps between the teeth: Gaps can often be treated with orthodontics. For a fast and very effective treatment, gaps can be closed with porcelain veneers or, in some cases, dental bonding. • Crooked teeth: In some cases, crooked teeth can be given a uniform appearance with porcelain veneers. • Gummy smile or irregular gum line: Atlanta Dental Center uses laser treatment to address gum disease, to eliminate excess gum tissue and for gum reshaping and contouring. • Missing teeth: Dental implants can be used in various ways to provide you with natural-looking, natural-functioning and natural-feeling new teeth. • Cracked teeth: We use dental bonding to repair cracked teeth. • Bad bite: Invisalign treatment can adjust a bad bite.

invisibility, Invisalign® is a more comfortable straightening solution for most people. Treatment Options Cosmetic dentistry treatments currently in use include: • Inlays/Onlays: Also known as indirect fillings, inlays and onlays made from porcelain or composite materials are a long-lasting yet aesthetically pleasing way to provide a “filling” to teeth with tooth decay or similar structural damage. • Composite Bonding: Chipped, broken, discolored or decayed teeth may be repaired or have their appearance corrected using a procedure called composite bonding. • Teeth Whitening: Teeth whitening is perhaps the most commonly recommended cosmetic dentistry procedure. • Dental Veneers: Composite or porcelain laminates that are adhesively bonded to the surface of a tooth to correct and repair chips and cracks will improve a worn appearance or severe tooth discoloration. • Dental Implants: Dental implants are artificial tooth root replacements that are used as a part of prosthetic (artificial replacement) dentistry in order to compensate for tooth loss. • Smile Makeover: Smile makeovers involve a comprehensive assessment of your smile aesthetics in order to improve its overall appearance. • Full mouth reconstruction: While consulting with you about a smile makeover to primarily improve the aesthetic appearance of your smile, your dentist may discover that there is a need to provide necessary treatment to correct functional problems with your bite, muscles, teeth and bone structure.

BEST DERMATOLOGIST
An interview with Dr. Taylor Brought to you by — Alyssa McNamara Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta Congratulations to Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta for its third year DR. TAYLOR in a row of being voted Best Dermatologist and Best Vein Specialist of North Fulton! I decided to sit down with Dr. Brent Taylor and physician assistant Kathryn Filipek at Premier Dermatology to get their take on their success and to learn a bit more about them. Alyssa: Hey you two! So nice to see you guys again! I’ve previously had the pleasure of speaking with you both separately regarding Premier Dermatology and your particular contributions to the practice, but I wanted to take time to sit down with you both to hear your thoughts on your continued success. Dr. Taylor, congratulations on another win for Best of North Fulton 2020! This marks your 3rd year being named both
Best Dermatologist and Best Vein Specialist in North Fulton since opening in 2017. That’s quite an accomplishment. To what do you attribute your continued success? Dr. Taylor: Thank you Alyssa! Well, as I’ve said in the past, I believe that my patients understand our sincerity and our dedication to our patients’ healthcare. Kathryn and I and our amazing team all honestly care about our patients and their well-being. I hope that that sincerity comes through during our interactions. We always strive to give our patients our complete attention and to learn more about an individual as a person as well as a patient. There are plenty of times when a patient brings something to our attention or compels us to do additional research, and Kathryn and I are constantly collaborating on our patients’ behalf. I believe that comes through. All of that, and my awesome dad jokes are a big hit. I’m a father of three boys ages seven, five and two, so I have plenty of time to practice my material. Kathryn: I agree with everything that Dr. Taylor said, especially how nice the

patients are to laugh at his jokes. Our team really is wonderful. We have experienced and caring team members. And we have received a lot of compliments that the practice has a personal and “boutique” feel, even as we deliver care that is scientific and academic. Alyssa: Kathryn and Dr. Taylor, how is everything going in this odd Covid time? I believe Kathryn joined the practice in March? I bet that was an interesting time to expand? Dr. Taylor: We are beyond grateful for the addition of Kathryn! She really is a fantastic provider and is knowledgeable and experienced in dermatology. Most importantly, our skillsets really complement one another. For example, my focus in the vein clinic portion of our practice has been on treating venous disease that results in leg swelling and pain, and Kathryn has years of experience performing aesthetically-focused cosmetic sclerotherapy. She brought PRP for hair rejuvenation to the practice as well as chemical peels and is an expert Botox® and filler injector. The addition of another provider also means that we are frequently able to accommo-
date patients for same day or next day appointments. Covid was inconvenient but the slowdown also allowed us to make sure Kathryn’s integration to the practice was seamless. Alyssa: Well I think that’s enough serious business for now. I thought we could ask a few casual questions to allow your readers get to know you both a little better. If you won the lottery tomorrow what would be the first thing you did after you cashed it? Brent: I would probably pay off the mortgages of my family and all my staff. And I would buy some new socks because mine are pretty sad right now. And some chocolate chip cookies. Kathryn: Flee the country and not tell my husband. No, seriously, after working so hard to put myself through college and my medical training, I would love to set up an educational fund for young adults from my hometown in Michigan so they could receive higher education and not have to take half of their adult

Premier: Continued from Page 6 life to pay it off. If you could immediately become fluent in something, what would it be? Brent: Italian. Feeling like a local in a foreign country has to be fun, and I think Italy tops my list. Kathryn: Spanish. I was able to apply a lot of my “Splanglish” while living in South Florida, but Dr. Taylor puts me to shame when he is able to communicate fluently, and I only understand a portion of what he or my patients are saying. What were you like in high school? Brent: I was very smart. And very naive. I had very little time for much besides keeping my nose to the grindstone but was still happy and people still joke that in the back of my head I seem to have The Girl From Ipanema playing on repeat. Kathryn: I moved halfway through my freshman year, so it took me a bit to find my place. I was outgoing and took part in Cross Country, Basketball, Track, several academic and service clubs, played piano and worked as a server at a restaurant. I also enjoyed a lot of time on the beach of Lake Superior (cold, but true) Who is someone you look up to? Brent: My dad. Sounds cliché’ but it’s true. My dad is just such a wonderful man. He’s kind and patient and incredibly intelligent. He has worked extremely hard to accomplish everything he has in life and really instilled in me a strong work ethic and a compassionate heart. I am beyond fortunate for my family. Kathryn: My Grandmother. She grew up on a dairy farm on Prince Edward Island, Canada, and taught school in a one room schoolhouse until she went to nursing school in Ontario in her 20’s. She didn’t marry my Grandfather until her late 20’s, had her children in her 30’s and worked as a nurse in Detroit until her 70’s. She always had a positive outlook on life and a laugh that would turn into a “hissing fit” because of her asthma, which made all around her giggle. What do you do in your free time? Brent: I use those ten seconds to fantasize about having free time. I’m only half-joking. Hobbies are a bit on pause with three boys seven and younger. Every moment my wife and I have we try and do something for the kids. The park. Hiking, playing baseball in the backyard, reading together, teaching them to ride a bike, fishing, playing piano. I don’t have children that will just sit and watch a movie. I don’t know if it’s their age but
HEALTH & WELLNESS • Sponsored Section they are just nonstop. My wife refers to them as tiny tornados. When I do have time again, I’d like to resume flying. I have my pilot’s license and love the beauty of the world seen from the air. Kathryn: Traveling if I have that much time. Otherwise running, golf, hiking, kayaking and family and friend time. Honestly, I love taking my dog for a walk on the greenway too! If you could only eat one type of food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Brent: Is this my opportunity to plug Outback Steakhouse and hope they mail me an honorary-Aussie free-food-for-life card? Kathryn: Soup. My Dad was our primary cook growing up and never wastes food. You can make soup out of anything. What is your idea of a perfect vacation? Brent: Watching fish swim around a coral reef in a sea so warm that you forget you’re even in the water. Kathryn: Oh, this is a fun question. Something to challenge myself. Going to a new place. Seeing something out of the ordinary. The last perfect trip I had was in Costa Rica, where I kayaked at night in bioluminescence water, climbed a 200 foot tree, hiked through the rain forest and swam in the river (yes, I got ticks). I even tried surfing and ate a termite! Flights and weather were perfect. Locals were amazing. Can’t wait for the next perfect vacation. What is something embarrassing about yourself? Brent: Um, I never remember birthdays or anniversaries etc. Not because I don’t remember what day they are but because I don’t ever know what date it currently is. Oh, and I once was backstage a Miley Cyrus concert. It was a friend’s fault I promise! Kathryn: I used to be amazing at remember peoples’ faces and names. Now I’ve turned into what I used to make fun of my mother for. Sigh. What is a long-term goal? Brent: More than anything I want my kids to grow up to reach their potential and be happy. Kathryn: Ditto to that. Happiness and health for my children and never stop learning.
