Man, Missionary, Dentist, Visionary
In a remote village on the outskirts of Belmopan, Belize, Christian missionaries from Huntsville set up camp in a sparsely equipped facility built for their annual mission to give dental and medical attention to residents of this impoverished village. Roaring Creek has no electricity or running water and the floors are bare dirt, but Dr. Forrest Bryant is one of two dentists, four medical doctors, a contingent of nurses, and an ambitious construction team providing much needed services to the people in the surrounding communities. “This year, two factors allowed us to work more efficiently and help more people,” explains Dr. Bryant. “In addition to the clinic, we set up a mobile dental unit and rather than relying on word of mouth, we hooked up with a local minister who acquired broadcast radio coverage.” Their efforts afforded services to over 60 people per day and included cleanings, fluoride treatments, extractions, and fillings. “The exciting part about this work is to see from one year to the next, the effects of our educational efforts and the advantages to continued oral care.”
Back in Huntsville, Dr. Bryant’s work in dentistry evolved by ingenuity. “Dentistry changed drastically for the better around 1997. Within a year, nothing you learned in dental school still applied.” Improvements in materials, medication, procedures, and equipment had dentists facing an ongoing learning curve. “My continuing education in the evolving field of cosmetic dentistry made me uniquely qualified. Reconstructing the mouth is more than replacing teeth. There is a process involved in making the jaw, gums, bone, and bite all function properly.”
Dr. Bryant’s unique qualifications span professional sports. He has fitted several members of the Tennessee Titans football team, as well as Michael Turner with the Atlanta Falcons, with the innovative Sports Enhancing Pure Power Mouthguard. “A properly aligned jaw is instrumental in applying power and strength,” he explains. “By custom fitting the Mouthguard, any athlete has an edge in strength, power, better balance, and more range.”
There are other inimitable aspects of Bryant Aesthetic Dentistry. He is one of the few remaining dentists who still does it all—from family and juvenile oral care to performing root canals, implants and treating gum disease. In addition, his Huntsville office has a distinctive atmosphere. “Originally, Huntsville was opened for reconstructive and aesthetic dental work only.” Surrounded by full-length glass windows during treatment, you wait in an elegant greatroom, or on a third floor balcony, rather than a stuffy waiting room. “We are expanding that office in 2009 to include general and family dental care like we have in Decatur.”
This enhanced growth includes Dr. Bryant’s new partner, Dr. David J. Allen. Dr. Allen brings 24 years experience in restorative dentistry to Dr. Bryant’s practice. “Dr. Allen and I share the same philosophy—we use the newest technology to provide good old-fashioned quality treatment,” says Dr. Bryant, “We are not here just to ‘get patients in and out’. We provide personal attention, allow adequate time for proper treatment, and address patient concerns.”
The candy that we collect is sent overseas to our troops along with thank you letters, notes, and drawings from the kids. We collected over 200lbs of candy so the troops will be delighted. Thank you to all who participated this year. If you didn’t get a chance to bring your kids out this year, we hope to see you next year! Call 256-882-9780 for details.
