Do you grind your teeth?

Here’s the tricky thing about this habit – if you do grind your teeth, you probably wouldn’t even know it.

But your dentist can sure tell!

We can see signs of it, also known as bruxism, with evidence like tiny fractures and worn teeth during your dental exams.

You may also experience unpleasant symptoms without realizing it’s related to your jaw joint (TMJ). Check out today’s infographic that lists a few of the most common tied to this condition. 

Come to us for a custom oral device. It fits snugly and comfortably in your mouth to prevent teeth grinding and reduce your painful symptoms.

The holidays are coming up, so you’re probably too busy to worry about that dark spot in your smile. 

It’s that old silver filling from years ago that can be seen every time you smile or laugh. Not a huge deal… until it is. 

This is just the sort of imperfection we don’t think much about until it’s too late. 

After those photos taken with family and friends are all over social media. 

After that dinner party when you’re standing in front of the bathroom mirror brushing your teeth before bed.

It’s the perfect time to replace that dark filling with a composite filling! In just one easy appointment, we can restore your tooth without metal using a material that blends in beautifully with your natural teeth.

It’s National Brush Day!

Today is a day to focus our attention on kids’ dental health and encouraging them to adopt good oral hygiene habits, particularly brushing their teeth. 

When teaching your child how to brush properly, make sure they follow the 2-2 rule – brush twice a day for two minutes each time. 

To make it fun, set a timer they’ll enjoy, such as one of their favorite songs. You can also find kid-friendly timers on Youtube and other apps. 

You can also help them take more ownership of their oral care regimen by letting them pick out their own soft-bristle toothbrush with their favorite TV character or superhero.

Videos are also helpful in getting kids excited about oral health, like today’s video where a dental student compares three different brushes from various time periods.

Your child may be fascinated to learn about how people brushed their teeth thousands of years ago!

Happy brushing! To keep your family’s smiles healthy, call Charlotte Dentistry at 704-285-0846 to schedule your appointment in Charlotte, NC. You can also online.

1. More Appealing Smile

Your smile (or lack thereof) is one of the things people remember after meeting you. With veneers, your smile can be something that makes people see you as friendly and welcoming. Veneers can correct a variety of problems for you.

2. Fast Results

Veneers can transform your smile in a relatively short amount of time. In a few visits over a few weeks, your teeth could look completely different than they do today. Let’s get started on your smile transformation.

3. Greater Self-Confidence

You are more likely to share your smile after changing the things you don’t like about it. With veneers, you can have the kind of smile you want people to see, and you may feel more motivated to meet new people, which can be good personally and professionally.
