As someone who spends their day providing care to others, I’ve always felt that when I come to work, I want to be able to greet everyone I meet with a smile. It is almost like a trademark. This sounds simple, but some days I work some looooong hours, and over the course of my day, I’m pretty sure I smile at least 100 times. That’s huge for me, because I feel that something a small as a smile is enough to make a person feel seen and valued.
I take this especially serious when it comes to my patients. First impressions are everything, and a warm smile helps to set them at ease, but also shows that they can have confidence in me as the doctor who will care for them and their baby. With all the talking that I have to do throughout the day, the last thing I would want is bad breath or plaque build up. And as an OB doctor, I definitely want all those newborn babies to see a vibrant smile when they make their debut. Smiles are so powerful and all Dr. Johnson’s babies deserve the very best!

It is not just for my morning routine. It is also clutch for those times that duty calls me into the night, Colgate TotalSF (along with a fresh pair of socks, underwear, and deodorant) always makes it into my overnight bag for call. I may not always have time for a shower during my shift (sleeping can be hard to come by with three pagers and a phone), but it is amazing how refreshed you can feel after brushing your teeth!
