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 !

We use the Cavitron to Get Your Teeth Clean!

At the office of Dr. Edwin S. Porter, we use different techniques for our cleaning appointments. Some patients have never had the opportunity to get a cleaning with a Cavitron until they came to our office. It’s a fabulous addition to your bi-annual cleaning routine of scaling, polishing, and placing fluoride!!

But you all ask what is a Cavitron and what does it do?! A Cavitron is a dental tool that uses high frequency sound waves to clean teeth. The Cavitron ultrasonic cleaner is a state of the art instrument that has proved to be an extremely successful tool in removing tartar from both above and below the gumline. It has a blunt tip that uses oscillating sound waves to gently vibrate the tartar away from your teeth. The Cavitron unit is so gentle that it is used without the need for anesthetic. Having your teeth cleaned with the Cavitron unit is a safe, effective, and painless addition to traditional cleaning methods.

Tell your friends that we are at the forefront of technology and standard of care! We are still offering you $75 on your account as well as $75 on the account of any friend or family member you refer! That’s a great deal!! Call us or e-mail us to get set up! 704-544-5330 or Wanda@DentistryinCharlotte.com

Spring Cleaning!

So every spring, everyone gets in the mood to clean up their house, put away those tacky sweaters, and do some yard work. It’s also a great time to think about getting into the dental office for a teeth cleaning! Your teeth get dirty and a professional cleaning by Katie, our Hygienist, will get them back into tip-top shape just in time for summer! We do all types of cleanings here at the office of Dr. Edwin S Porter. We can do regular cleanings, periodontal cleanings, scaling and root planing, as well as cleanings for children. We love to get your teeth cleaned using our ultrasonic machine, which loosens all the plaque and calculus, and then we scale and polish your teeth. And we always recommend a professional fluoride varnish treatment for all of our patients because even adults need fluoride! So call us today to get in for your Spring Teeth Cleaning!
