Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to the best patients in the world!

We just wanted to take a moment to thank our patients for being great to us. Our patients keep their appointments, come on time or early, and have become great friends of out staff. We strive to give you all the best care we can and you all mean so much to us.

Here's hoping to a great Thanksgiving with each of your families and remember what the holiday is about. Enjoy your time off and even the shopping that follows :)

Are Sealants Right For My Child? YES!!

The most important reason for getting sealants is to avoid tooth decay. Fluoride in toothpaste and in drinking water protects the smooth surfaces of teeth but back teeth need extra protection. Sealants cover the chewing surfaces of the back teeth and keep out germs and food. Having sealants put on teeth before they decay will also save time and money in the long run by avoiding fillings, crowns, or caps used to fix decayed teeth. Help your child prepare for a healthy mouth by getting their cleaning and check-up to determine if they needs sealants! 704-544-5330

Ask Dr. Porter: What are the consequences of delaying treatment?

There are many dangers of delaying dental treatment. If someone came into our office with a small cavity that needed to be filled but delayed that filling until their next cleaning or even longer than that, they may risk that filling becoming something more extensive and more expensive. Some people have even lost their tooth in certain circumstances because they waited just a little too long.

It’s always best to get things taken care of as soon as possible but we do understand that finances can be a factor in deciding when to do that treatment. At our office we offer in-office payment plans as well as outside no interest financing plans to help our patients get the funds they need, when they need it.
