Spring Allergies Can Bring Dental Pain?

Pollen has reached a record high here in Charlotte and across the country. And not only is it high levels but it’s early! An early Spring and warm Winter has caused our noses to be more sensitive to the pollen and other allergens that are floating around. At Dr. Porter’s office, we have had an influx of patients dropping by with a toothache. And the teeth are mostly fine! Quite often what happens is that some tooth roots lie in the sinus cavity and when your sinuses are inflamed and irritated due to spring allergies, you may feel like you need a root canal! With Dr. Porter’s high quality technology, we can diagnose the difference between tooth pain due to decay or a dead nerve versus a tooth that is being aggravated by your allergies! Charlotte, be glad to know that we aren’t dealing out root canals to everyone who thinks they need one! That saves you more money and saves your tooth!
At the office of Dr. Edwin S. Porter, we take the time to correctly diagnose whatever it is that may be ailing you. After we have a diagnosis, we work on treating the tooth properly and correctly. Dr. Porter and his staff provide the highest quality of care amongst that sea of dentists in Charlotte.
