Happy Friday, Everyone!!!

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!

Ice Cubes Are Bad For Your Teeth!

It's your dental tip of the day brought to you by Dr. Edwin S Porter and his staff.

Don’t eat ice cubes! It is the nearing the end of the season for this refreshing pastime, but it can result in fractured teeth! Many older fillings are made of silver, which doesn’t bond to teeth like the tooth colored fillings we complete and can cause tiny cracks because of the stress of chewing hard items like ice cubes, candy or unpopped popcorn kernels. The older we get, the more brittle our teeth become! Crunching down on ice can also mean that you have an iron deficiency! So stock up on an iron supplement and chew on those!

Save the ice cubes for your drink cup and and save your teeth, pain, and money!! 704-544-5330 or DentistryinCharlotte.com

Fall Into Good Oral Hygiene Habits!

It’s that time of year when the leaves are falling and the temperature is getting cooler. It’s also the time to think about your oral hygiene routine! Do you know all the steps to keep your pearly whites in healthy and beautiful condition? Well start with brushing and flossing twice daily. We recommend an electric toothbrush with a soft bristled head. And I promise you, this does not make you lazy! It’s clinically proven to help you brush for the correct amount of time, with the proper speed and pressure, and can get those harder to reach spots that may be hard manually. Dr. Edwin Porter also recommends a fluoride rinse at night before bed to keep those pesky cavities at bay. Other important tidbits to remember are to chew gum that is sugarless and contains xylitol, to never chew on ice, and to keep your cleaning and check-up appointments!!

We are always here to help you maintain and achieve your best oral health! Please call with any questions and we’d love to see you! 704-544-5330 or e-mail the Arboretum office at Wanda@DentistryinCharlotte.com !
