When you’re in pain, it’s hard to focus on anything else.

You try to ignore it, but even with over-the-counter pain relievers, it still lingers, making it difficult to get through the day, let alone enjoy your life.

This is what it’s like to suffer from TMJ disorders caused by a misalignment of the jaw joint. It’s also related to an often involuntary behavior of grinding your teeth and clenching your jaw while you sleep. The pressure it puts on your jaw not only wears down your teeth but also causes headaches, facial soreness, and so much more.

For Pain Awareness Month, your Charlotte dental team wants you to know about our simple TMJ solution that can prevent damage to your teeth and relieve the uncomfortable symptoms of this condition. Visit us soon to get a custom mouthguard so you can start feeling better!

Because poor oral health is one of the most common reasons kids miss school every year, so we want to help your child avoid that.

Watch today’s video about how you can prevent tooth decay the easy way! Dental sealants are quick and painless, providing a shield of protection against harmful oral bacteria that lead to toothaches, cavities, and other problems that might otherwise interfere with your child’s academic success.

Because it’s back-to-school season, we’ve spent a lot of time this month talking about how to take care of your child’s teeth. 

You don’t want poor oral health to be one of the reasons they miss valuable classroom time, which we know adds up to nearly 2 million absences per year. 

So it’s important to keep their teeth healthy throughout their entire development, beginning with their first set of baby teeth to their last set of molars.

We’ve already talked about caring for their baby teeth, but once they reach their late teens, your child might start experiencing problems with their wisdom teeth. These molars often cause more harm than good, and you can check out today’s video to hear some reasons why.

To avoid pain and potential issues caused by their third molars, call Charlotte Dentistry at 704-285-0846 to schedule an appointment in Charlotte, NC to have them removed.

Every year on August 21, the country recognizes the invaluable contributions of those who came before us.

It’s National Senior Citizens Day, and for your Charlotte, NC dentists, it’s the perfect opportunity to remind you that you don’t have to let advanced age steal your smile!

When you choose to secure your replacement teeth to dental implants, not only do you get your strong bite back, but you’re able to preserve your jawbone and facial structure for a more youthful appearance, something that standard dentures can’t do.

Are you a senior citizen who’s ready to bounce back from tooth loss with new teeth that work as well as the real thing?

Then call Charlotte Dentistry at 704-285-0846 to schedule a dental implant consultation!

Your child’s dental development doesn’t start after all their baby teeth are gone. 

It begins as soon as their first baby tooth erupts.

That’s why you need a trusted pediatric dentist to care for them properly. 

We’re here to do that at their routine visits starting at age 3, but we can also offer tips for their care in between those visits. Here’s a helpful video you can watch about how to take care of your child’s baby teeth at home!

If you wore braces as a kid, you’ll probably remember some of the challenges that come with adjusting to life with brackets and wires in your mouth.

Moving crooked teeth into the right position, even slowly over a long period of time, can be pretty uncomfortable. Along with that, you have to accept that achieving results takes time and patience.

And don’t forget about the things you can’t do while you’re wearing braces… like biting into an apple or chewing gum.

Today, wearing braces is a far better experience, thanks to a remarkable innovation called AcceleDent, a technology that allows orthodontic patients to cut their treatment time nearly in half! You could show off a straight smile much sooner, whether you’re wearing traditional braces or removable clear aligners.
