Taking Care of Tooth Decay: Fillings in Marietta, GA

If you have had a cavity filled before, you're not alone. Tooth decay affects more than 90% of adults over the age of 40 - a stunning statistic that, in many cases, is entirely preventable. At Merchants Walk Dental, we use composite resin fillings to keep our patient's teeth healthy and functional. Unlike amalgam fillings, composite fillings are more discreet, match the color of your teeth, and are free of mercury.

While fillings can have a few uses, our doctors typically use fillings to “fill” a part of your tooth that is decaying. This hole of decay is called a cavity. Sometimes, fillings are also used to fix broken, cracked, or worn-down teeth from grinding and nail-biting. Fillings are a great way to restore decaying teeth to their normal shape and function while preventing sensitivity and inhibiting further decay.

During your dental exam at our office in East Cobb, your dental hygienist will check for signs of cavities and tooth decay to ensure your oral hygiene remains in peak condition.

The Merchants Walk Dental Difference

Having served the East Cobb and Marietta for years, we know your dental needs are unique and different from your neighbor. That's why we offer a variety of dental services to address each patient's special circumstances, from standard cleanings to complex root canals. By using the latest innovations and techniques in dentistry, we can better serve each client on an individualized level, leading to better comprehensive dental care.

We're taking new patients and accept most major forms of dental insurance to keep your teeth healthy and clean without breaking the bank. Contact our office today to schedule your dental exam and learn more about our history!

Premiere Filmmaking Summer Camp Expanding to Kennesaw State University

Camp Flix, the premiere filmmaking summer camp in the Southeast, will host sessions in both Atlanta, Ga. and Marietta, Ga. this Summer 2023. The camp has historically only been hosted in Atlanta. The one-week, real-world experience immerses kids, ages 11-17, to the techniques, language, and processes of filmmaking and acting, as well as providing an opportunity for teamwork and collaboration as they make a short film during the week with other campers.

Camp Flix, the premiere filmmaking summer camp in the Southeast, will host sessions in both Atlanta, Ga. and Marietta, Ga. this Summer 2023. The camp has historically only been hosted in Atlanta. The one-week, real-world experience immerses kids, ages 11-17, to the techniques, language, and processes of filmmaking and acting, as well as providing an opportunity for teamwork and collaboration as they make a short film during the week with other campers. Registration is now open at CampFlix.com.

Hosted on Emory University and Kennesaw State University (Marietta Campus) campuses, Camp Flix offers day camp and overnight camp opportunities for tweens and teens. Led by a group of industry professionals, many of whom have taught in University film departments and worked for companies like WarnerMedia, Hulu, Adult Swim, Point Grey Pictures, and MTV, campers are given personal instruction from idea pitch to final cut.

Tom Karsch, founder of Camp Flix, is the former executive vice president and general manager for Turner Classic Movies and a 25-year veteran of the television industry. Karsch says, "We are excited to bring Camp Flix to Marietta with our new partnership with Kennesaw State University this summer. With great facilities including suite style housing and an excellent cafeteria, we are thrilled to have a new venue to help attract new attendees to both our day and overnight camps."

During their session, campers are challenged with a rigorous yet rewarding schedule, tailored to all types of careers in the movie business. The hands-on filmmaking experience includes training in cinematography, directing, script writing, special effects makeup, acting, post-production, and more. Participants work together in small crews to create one-of-a-kind short films that are shown then shared with parents and friends at a red carpet premiere on Friday night. For older campers, Camp Flix provides a unique opportunity to build their portfolios for college applications or potential employment.

“Now entering our 12th year, we are so proud to see former campers continue their filmmaking dreams that started at Camp Flix as they attend film schools and film programs around the country. Several of our former campers who are now in the business give back to Camp Flix by becoming counselors and spreading their passion for the craft of filmmaking amongst our campers,” Karsch adds.

The 2023 day and overnight summer camp sessions are slated for June 11-16 (Kennesaw State University, Marietta Campus); June 18-23 (Emory University); and July 9-14 (Emory University). Tuition begins at $795 for day camp and $1,495 for overnight camp. All campers are housed in the university dormitories, with 2-4 campers in each room or suite. Scholarships are also available.

MABLETON, GA — A former Mableton mayoral candidate who was disqualified due to a returned check told Patch leading the town is his dream and passion.

Rev. Henry Okafor, who operates a church and multiple businesses, was told about two days ago by elections officials he could not run for mayor because a $900 check for a qualifying fee payment did not clear.

Cobb County Elections Director Janine Eveler said Tuesday Okafor submitted a check for the payment and it was returned due to insufficient funds. His name was removed from the ballot.

The news came one day after Paul Chukelu was disqualified for a return check. Chukelu was running for the Mableton City Council District 3 seat.

Okafor said he did not learn about the bounced check until he came back from a trip to Nigeria, where he buried his mother. He said life events moved so quickly for him that he was unaware the money was not available at the time. He maintained the money is presently available.

"The money didn’t clear on time," Okafor said. "The money is there."

He said he is sorry the check bounced.

Okafor has until Feb. 3 to show evidence the returned check was an error of the bank. He said he has been to the bank four times, and the bank refuses to write a letter accepting fault.

He has offered to pay in cash, but he said elections officials will not accept cash.

The longtime Mableton resident said he wanted to bring change to his community, prompting him to run for mayor.

"I live here," he said. "I see what’s going on here."

Okafor said he would like to see cleaner parks, better schools and apartments and a reduced cost of living in Mableton.

"I want to make Mableton a place of joy and contentment," he said. "… I want to make it the Las Vegas of Georgia."

As for pursuing the mayoral seat in the future, Okafor said it is possible.

"I just want (people) to see I can do what I promised," he said. "I just want people to be happy."

Patch has reached out to Cobb County Elections for comment.

SOLO ART SHOW FEATURING RITA PELOT OPEN AT THE GALLERY AT JOHNSON FERRY

Being Human will run through March 5

MARIETTA, Ga. February 22, 2023—Marietta artist Rita Pelot is featured in a solo show titled Being Human at The Gallery at Johnson Ferry. The exhibit opened on Thurs., Jan. 26 and will run through Sun., March 5, 2023.

"God has been so good to me in giving me the talent, creativity and passion to paint. My desire is that I will do my art for God’s glory,” said Pelot. “I am thankful for Johnson Ferry because the church values the visual arts as a means to speak to our hearts in a unique way. As I gathered the paintings for the exhibit, I was reminded that God is the ultimate artist whose creativity is beyond anything I can imagine. He alone can create mankind in his own image. Each of his creations is totally unique and designed for a special purpose. As C.S. Lewis said, ‘There's no such thing as a mere mortal.’ Every person is valued by God.”

Pelot has loved to draw for as long as she can remember. While attending the University of Georgia, the art classes she took for an elementary education degree were her favorite classes. Though she laid her art aside while marrying and raising two daughters, her passion for art was again renewed when her daughters went to college. She has taken many workshops and classes from well-known artists such as Marc Chatov, Greta Schelke, Jim Schelle, Mel Stabin and Tony Van Hasselt, and Kris Meadows. She is a juried member of the Portrait Society of Atlanta and a member of the Portrait Society of America. Her work appears in many private collections.

For more photos of the art featured in this exhibit, or to schedule an interview with Rita, email Paige Pelot at paige.pelot@gmail.com.

Georgia Tech (11-17, 3-14 ACC) is looking to even its season series against the Cardinals, who won the first meeting, 68-58, on Feb. 1 in Louisville. Tech has won its last three home games, taking down Notre Dame (70-68), Virginia Tech (77-70) and Division II Florida Tech (79-56). Tech enters the weekend in 13th place in the ACC standings, a game ahead of Notre Dame and Louisville. The Jackets’ other conference win came Jan. 4 over Miami, the ACC’s current first-place team.

Louisville (4-24, 2-15 ACC) won only of six games since the teams’ first meeting, scoring an 83-73 decision at home over Clemson last Saturday. The Cardinals are 0-9 on the road this season, dropping those games by an average of nearly 16 points. The closest was an 83-95 defeat at Miami on Feb. 11.

Saturday’s game will be televised live on the ACC’s Regional Sport Networks, with live streams of the broadcast available on BallySports.com and the ESPN app. Radio coverage is on the Georgia Tech Sports Network by Legends Sports and flagship station 680 the Fan (680 AM/93.7 FM), and on satellite radio (SiriusXM channel 390, SXM app 980).

THE TIP-OFF

FINAL HOME GAME FOR BOYD, FRANKLIN

Georgia Tech will honor two senior players – guard Coleman Boyd and center Ja’von Franklin – and four senior managers on their final home game at McCamish Pavilion Saturday.

Boyd came to Tech after an all-state high school career at Mount Bethel Christian Academy in Marietta, Ga. A four-year letterwinner, this aspiring coach has led the Yellow Jackets’ scout team in helping Tech prep for each game the last four years, appearing in 12 games during his college career. He is set to graduate this spring with his degree in business administration.

A native of Little Rock, Ark., native, Franklin made stops at a junior college, Auburn and South Alabama, overcoming a broken leg early in his college career, before arriving at Georgia Tech, where he has excelled this season battling bigger and taller post players almost every game. He has six double-doubles this season while leading the Jackets in rebound average, blocked shots and field goal percentage. He received his undergraduate degree while at Auburn and has worked on a second major during his time at South Alabama and Georgia Tech.

Seniors Rodney Howard, Kyle Sturdivant and Lance Terry each have another year of eligibility under the NCAA’s COVID-19 guidelines.
