Teaching your child about taking care of their teeth is important. However, it’s also valuable to realize how their mental health impacts their smile too!
We’re sharing a video today that talks about the connection between mental health and oral health. When your child is stressed, they may not sleep well, grind their teeth, clench their jaw, and neglect their oral hygiene practices. However, by practicing good mental health like eating healthy, exercising, getting outside, visiting family and friends, and more, you are practicing good oral hygiene at the same time.
Make sure you take your child to their dental cleanings and exams appointments twice a year. It’s important to be a good example too and practice good oral hygiene and visit the dentist twice a year as well. Call Charlotte Dentistry at 704-285-0846 to schedule your appointment in Charlotte, NC.

Since February is National Children’s Dental Health Month, we figured it’s a perfect time to share a few tips on how to maintain your child’s oral health.
Today we’re sharing a video that highlights easy-to-follow suggestions, including bringing your child in for cleanings and exams at least twice a year. We can see your child as young as 3 to help them stay on top of any dental health problems that arise as they get older. You can even schedule an appointment for your whole family so everyone is on track with their oral health together.

Dental fear is a real thing. And it’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Plenty of people are afraid of the dentist. It IS important to overcome dental fear, though. If you feel anxious enough that you skip regular dental care, you may end up experiencing uncomfortable – and costly – problems like toothaches.
Fortunately, with Charlotte Dentistry’s caring approach, you can get stress-free care at our Charlotte, NC office. We also suggest these fear-fighting strategies:
- Discuss Your Anxiety With Us – We’re happy to work with you to make you feel as comfortable as possible. For instance, if you want the option of taking a break during a procedure, we can establish a signal – such as raising your hand – that lets us know you’d like a breather.
- Try Positive Visualization – While still at home, picture yourself lying back comfortably as you receive treatment. Practice taking slow, deep breaths. Then use the same exercises after you arrive for your appointment.
- Use Soothing Sedation – We offer two kinds of calming sedation: fast-acting laughing gas and oral medication. We’ll help you determine which will work best for the treatment you’re receiving and the level of anxiety you feel.
- Stay Informed – Our dentists will explain every aspect of your care, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. If you have questions, we’ll answer them before your procedure begins.

Your friends at Charlotte Dentistry have devoted a lot of time in our dental blog this month to setting goals for the new year that will help improve your oral and overall health, as well as the appearance of your smile.
As we near the end of January, we have one more tip for success!
If you’ve started a new workout routine as part of your efforts to get in better shape, be sure to stay on top of your water intake.
Watch today’s video to learn about some common reasons that serious athletes may be at a higher risk for poor dental health. With vigorous physical training comes the likelihood of dehydration, and consequently, dry mouth. And when your saliva production slows, your teeth lose the important, bacteria-fighting component of a healthy mouth!
For this and other oral health care tips, call Charlotte Dentistry at 704-285-0846 to schedule your next dental appointment in Charlotte, NC.
One of the easiest ways to tell you might have sleep apnea is if you’re a loud snorer.
But that doesn’t mean that if you don’t usually snore, you’re free and clear of this potentially serious condition. There are plenty of other symptoms that may seem unrelated to anyone but a trained professional.
If you’ve started dieting and working out recently but aren’t seeing any results, or if you haven’t really changed anything about your calorie intake or activity level but continue to gain weight, it could be a sign of sleep apnea.
Not only will leaving this condition untreated make it nearly impossible for you to achieve your weight loss goals, but it will put your health at risk for problems with your heart, blood pressure, and much more.
So if you want to improve your health this year, start by watching this video and asking yourself if your sleep quality is everything it could be.
Then call Charlotte Dentistry at 704-285-0846 to schedule your appointment in Charlotte, NC.
It’s always good to remember the basics, and one of the most basic things you can do for your oral health is visiting the dentist regularly.
Making professional dental cleanings and exams part of your routine can make a big difference in preventing problems. During a professional cleaning, we remove plaque and tartar that can build up on your teeth. Doing this can prevent you from developing cavities, gum disease, and tooth infections.
At the same time, we will conduct a thorough examination of your mouth during your checkup. If we notice signs of a developing problem, we can let you know. Then, together, we can nip that problem in the bud.
If you haven’t already done so, call Charlotte Dentistry at 704-285-0846 or schedule online to make your next appointment in Charlotte, NC.
