No one plans to have a dental emergency but it’s important you know what to do just in case there is one. However, keep in mind these tips are simply what to do in the meantime until you get to the dentist. You’ll want to notify our office right away if you are experiencing any dental emergencies – and any injury to your teeth and gums or severe dental pain is an emergency! 

You’ve knocked out a tooth.

First thing you’ll want to do is find the tooth! If you act fast enough, there is a chance that we can save it and return it to the tooth socket. Once you have found it, rinse it off and try to put it back in place. If that isn’t possible, place it in a container of milk or salt water until you can get to our office. We offer same-day emergency appointments and even have an after-hours emergency pager so you can get in touch with us right away.

You’ve chipped a tooth.

If you have chipped or broken a tooth, you’ll want to rinse out your tooth with warm water and make sure to save any tooth fragments you find. If you are experiencing any bleeding, place gauze around the area and apply pressure for at least 10 minutes or until you have stopped bleeding. Get a cold compress and place it near your mouth or jaw to reduce the swelling. Get to our office right away and we can restore your chipped tooth and stop the pain.

You have a toothache.

If you are dealing with a severe toothache, that could be a sign of gum disease or some type of infection in your teeth or gums. It’s important you see us right away as the infection can spread to other teeth. Until you can come into our office, rinse out your mouth with warm water and use dental floss to remove any food particles out of your teeth and gums. Avoid placing aspirin near the area because that can actually burn your gums.

You’ve lost a filling or dental crown.

If you have lost a filling, place a piece of sugarless gum or dental cement purchasable in stores on the cavity directly. If you’ve lost a dental crown, put gauze around the area to stop the pain and visit us right away so we can repair your tooth. 

You have broken your braces or wires.

If one of the wires from your braces has broken, and it’s jabbing at other areas of your mouth, try to gently put the wire back into place until we can properly repair your braces. If you are unable to, cover the area with orthodontic wax or a small piece of gauze in the meantime. Avoid cutting the wire because you may accidentally swallow it.

Dental emergencies can be scary, however knowing what you should do if one does happen will help you relax. Most importantly, make sure you visit our office right away if you are experiencing an emergency.

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.

It’s Gum Disease Awareness Month, so your Charlotte, NC dental team wants to make sure our patients’ smiles are safe from this oral health threat. 

Along with your daily brushing and flossing, your best defense against gum disease includes routine checkups at Charlotte Dentistry. At these appointments, we’ll remove harmful plaque from your teeth and look for signs of periodontal infection so we can take quick action to stop it in its tracks.

You can also check out today’s infographic to know what to look for in between your dental hygiene appointments. Being aware of any changes to your teeth and gums will help you know when it’s time to visit us for gum disease treatment!

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.
