It may not get as cold here as in other parts of the country, but this time of year does bring a bit of a winter chill to Charlotte, NC.
Believe it or not, colder weather can have an impact on your teeth. Changes in temperature can cause changes to your enamel that lead to an increase in tooth sensitivity.
Check out today’s infographic for some of the things you can do at home for sensitive teeth, but be sure to visit us for restorative dental care if your tooth pain persists or worsens.

The holidays aren’t so far behind us that you can’t remember how self-conscious you were about your smile and what you missed out on because of it.
In fact, when you have crooked, gapped, or crowded teeth, it’s probably how you feel almost everywhere you go during any time of year.
There’s a reason you and so many other adults don’t do anything about it, though.

That’s why you should trust your favorite little smiles to us! Our family dental care includes pediatric dentistry, where you’ll find everything you need to protect your child from oral health problems.

Many of us are already making a list of resolutions to welcome in the New Year. If you’re a smoker, one of your resolutions may be to stop smoking for good. As your dentist, we hope you do.
We’d love to help! Ask us for suggestions on quitting at your next dental exam. Start with a cleaning that will leave your mouth feeling fresh. (We’ve included a few suggestions in this post.)
As added incentive, check out this short video that details many of the positive results that will happen when you quit and when you can expect to see them. For instance, your heart rate and blood pressure will return to normal within 20 minutes.
Your smile will certainly benefit. You won’t have to worry about nicotine-stained teeth, chronic bad breath, or dry mouth. You’ll also be less susceptible to cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer. Try some of these ideas to quit smoking:
- Dispose of cigarettes, ashtrays, lighters, and similar items
- Load an app on your phone to help you quit
- Ask other smokers to abstain when around you
- Suck on sugar-free hard candy or chew sugar-free gum

Consider the Benefits
Orthodontic treatment can plan a valuable role in improving your everyday life. People can use orthodontics to address a variety of problems:
- Get crooked teeth in line
- Correct overbites and underbites
- Change crossbites and open bites
- Close gaps between your teeth
- Resolve crowding issues
This is just part of why that orthodontic care is good for you. Many people are more interested in making their smile more attractive than in the specifics of what changes are made. That can do wonders for your self-esteem.
Straightening your smile can be just as beneficial for your oral health as well. By fixing bite problems, you can reduce wear and tear on your teeth. Plus, it is easier to clean your teeth when you brush and floss and come in for your routine checkups.
Find Your Solution
One of the reasons you should come to us for your orthodontic treatment is that we offer you a variety of orthodontic options:
- Traditional Metal Braces – For tried-and-true treatment, brackets and wires can get your smile in line.
- Clear Ceramic Braces – With clear brackets and tooth-colored wires, you can get the same results as metal braces with a less noticeable treatment.
- AcceleDent – This revolutionary system decreases your treatment time by as much as 50 percent. Micropulses stimulate tooth movement, so you get the results you want in less time.
- Invisalign Teen – These aligners are aligners with built-in features to encourage compliance, so they straighten their teeth.
Our doctors are happy to discuss each option with you. We want you to have the information you need to select the service that best fits your goals and your lifestyle.
When you finish, talk to us about enhancing your smile with other cosmetic services, such as professional teeth whitening or dental veneers. Give yourself the smile that you want and deserve.
Get Moving Toward Your New Smile
You can have the smile of your dreams, but you have to take control of your situation. Whether you use braces or aligners, you can have straight teeth and a better, healthier smile.
Before you can reach your smile goal, you must begin the process. That starts when you schedule a consultation for orthodontic care with one of our doctors. We are ready to answer your questions and provide the support that you need throughout your smile transformation.
We look forward to seeing you have the smile that you want. Call Charlotte Dentistry at 704-285-0846 to schedule your appointment in Charlotte, NC.
