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

How Important Is Your Toothbrush?

Number one thing is to actually have any type of toothbrush and use it!! Manual or electric…Get those bristles touching teeth at least twice a day. It’s amazing how soft plaque can be wisked away with just a quick swipe of your toothbrush!
At the office of Dr. Edwin Porter, we recommend the Sonicare electric toothbrush just because of how advanced it is in cleaning your teeth. Plus it is so much easier! It brushed for 2 minutes and pulses at the end of each 30 second interval to let you know to move on to the other corner of your mouth. How easy is that?! The electric action pulses in between teeth and can help you get a deeper clean than with a manual toothbrush.
There is even a Sonicare for Kids that makes brushing fun and instills that good habit! It’s a smaller size and comes in fun colors.
At Dr. Porter’s office, we sale both adult and children versions and can give you a rebate to get some money back on your purchase. Ask anyone here how they like their Sonicare! We all use one and couldn’t live without it!

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

Did You See A Shadow in Your Mouth on Groundhogs Day?

Shadows can be discolorations in your enamel, stains from daily coffee, wine or tea drinking, a root canal treated tooth that has died or old restorations that have changed colors over time. There are many ways to fix your unpleasant smile. At the office of Dr. Edwin Porter, we offer everything from whitening, to veneers, to replacing amalgams and old restorations, and even bleaching internally of old root canal treated teeth. Sometimes these services are not just needed for cosmetic reasons but just because the lifespan of the old dentistry has reached its end. Fillings, crowns, veneers, bridges, and even dentures and partials all have a lifespan that can depend on your bite, the materials used, the wear and tear you put on the restorations and the fit.
Dr. Porter uses the best materials to make our in-office Cerec crowns and only sends off dentures and partials to the best labs in America. Our quality is something that makes us stand out amongst the sea of other dental professionals here in Charlotte and surrounding areas. Our staff is friendly and helpful in making the best use out of your dental insurance. Also, remember that we still complete all the paperwork and do the filing. We want you to get the best benefit for your services and for any out of pocket expenses you may incur, we offer easy payment plans in-office or though outside financing such as Care Credit and Chase Health Financing.
Call us today for an appointment! We can start you out with an exam, x-rays and cleaning or just get you in here for a free consultation so that you may get a feel for what we have to offer. We are here to make you comfortable and at ease with the whole process. Just let us know how we can help!
