Dr. Charles Nottingham, a South Florida cosmetic dentist, has been selected as part of the Ultimate Makeover Team.

In the spirit of ABC’s Extreme Makeovers and Fox’s the Swan, there is a new standard: The Ultimate Makeover. Those shows have made extreme aesthetic transformations popular nationwide, but the new program offers a twist.

In the Ultimate Makeover Program, Florida’s best doctors and health practitioners go beyond changing people’s looks to transforming their lives. The Ultimate Team will help the less fortunate through community activism and fundraising corporate partnerships as well as through cosmetic procedures.

Nottingham Consulting Group sponsored a research investigation to discover South Florida’s top health practitioners. Each practitioner was selected by an independent panel using Ten Criteria. By qualifying and certifying the team, the community panel ensured that each practitioner meets a high standard of trust and professional ability.

The Ten Criteria are:

1. Years of experience
2. High quality education
3. Good standing in the community
4. Industry accolades and leadership
5. History of published works
6. Client testimonials
7. Tradition of community service
8. Praise from colleagues
9. A high degree of professionalism
10. Marketing

Tamarac, FL, February 16, 2007 — Dr. Charles Nottingham, cosmetic dentist for Smile South Florida, visited Tamarac Elementary (which is in Broward County near Coral Springs) to educate and entertain a class of kindergarden and first graders. Accompanying Dr. Nottingham was his furry assistant Spunky the Donkey.

Dr. Nottingham began talking about what a dentist does and what equipment a dentist uses. The doctor explained that he has to wear gloves, a mask, and a coat in order to protect the patient and himself from germs. The children loved Dr. Nottingham’s magnifying glasses and thought the glasses looked funny. Dr. Nottingham exclaimed that the glasses were necessary to see very close up.

Then, Dr. Nottingham showed a video and strongly insisted that it was important that everyone brush their teeth. The doctor showed pictures of patients with plaque and the large cavities that resulted from not brushing one’s teeth. Dr. Nottingham asserted that children and adults should not eat sweets because bacteria feed off the sugar.
