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.
If you think you would like top-notch are with a gentle touch, give us a call or e-mail today. Our blog stories are as original as we are at our office…WE are not the cookie cutter dentist you may have seen on TV or magazines. Dr. Porter tailors to you needs and wants. We would love to hear from you! 704-544-5330 or Wanda@DentistryinCharlotte.com

Happy March Friday!

If you are a patient of Dr. Porter's, you probably know that Dr. Porter is a fan of Chapel Hill because he graduated from there!! Today, the Tarheels play a fun game that everyone at the office is going to watch. Hopefully they can win the championship this year!! What teams do you guys like??

Taking Care of What Goes in Your Mouth at Dr. Porter's

Today at Dr. Porter’s office, we all spent time doing maintenance! It’s very important that dental offices maintain and update their systems, whether it is for the computers or the equipment. Today, the equipment was cleaned, serviced, and given the thumbs up. At Dr. Porter’s we all make sure that the facility is clean and that the equipment that we use is in mint conditions. No second-hand pieces here! Our handpieces that are used to drill away cavities are the best on the market for better restorations and less likelihood of pain. Our cleaning equipment that sterilizes each instrument is above industry standards and our patients can rest assured that there are no one else’s germs on the instruments. We work hard to continue our training outside of the office, as well. CPR, OSHA training, and many continuing education classes are taken by each staff member to make sure that your care is the best in Charlotte.
Take a moment today to call us and make a change if you are unsatisfied with your dental care or if you need a dental plan that works for you. 704-544-5330 of Wanda@DentistryinCharlotte.com
