STARTING AUGUST 16TH – ELEVATOR RENOVATIONS FOR DURHAM BROAD LOCATION!

For our patients of the Durham Broad location, we would like to inform you that our Elevator to the third floor will be getting a FULL MAKEOVER! We are so excited about the amazing changes coming our way but want you to be aware of the situation.

The renovations are estimated to take between 10 to 12 weeks to complete but we will still have access to stairwells. We apologize for any inconvenience and if you are a patient with accessibility concerns (and need an appointment within this time frame) we would be more than happy to schedule an appointment at one of our nearby locations: Durham off of Miami Blvd, Mebane, or any of our Raleigh locations! No matter what the concern, we will be here to listen!

Please reach out to us via email at info@lanedds.com or call us at 877-LANE-DDS to speak to our patient services representative with any questions or concerns.

Again, thank you for your patience during this exciting time and we look forward to seeing you at your next appointment!

White building with triangular roof and columns and Lane DDS sign on front

Lane & Associates is opening our new Dental Office in Pinehurst NC in June 2018! The office was previously owned and operated by the Moore County Chamber of Commerce and has since been entirely remodeled. From brand new chevron floors in the waiting area to Large TVs and beverage stations, the new building is a complete hit! We truly believe our patients will love the new office as much as we do.

We are also partnering with an in-house Oral Surgery and Orthodontics group, known as NC Oral Surgery + Orthodontics (NCOSO), who will begin working in the same building in approximately 3 months. This is an exciting opportunity for the Pinehurst NC community to have an all-in-one dental office for the entire family. From dental cleanings and fillings to restorative crowns, braces, and dental implants, we will have it all!

Located off of US Hwy 15/501, our new Pinehurst dental office is nearby to local shopping and eateries. Our new address is 10677 U.S. 15/501 Southern Pines, NC 28387. For Maps & Directions, please visit our Southern Pines NC Dental Office location page or call our office at 910-295-5980 to learn more.

 

At Lane & Associates Family Dentistry, we love to make you smile!

DRINKING ENERGY AND SPORTS DRINKS on a regular basis is becoming increasingly popular, especially among young people. But did you know that these drinks can be extremely damaging to your teeth?

Sports and Energy Drinks Are Highly Acidic

It’s important to remember the purposes of each of these drinks so as not to consume them more often than you should. Energy drinks may provide a pick-me-up during a long day at work, but drinking one or more energy drinks every day can damage your teeth in the long run.

Sports drinks were made to keep your body hydrated and energized during bouts of intense exercise. While they may be beneficial during a good workout, these drinks should never take the place of water and should not be consumed casually or on a daily basis.

The reason for this is that both energy and sports drinks are highly acidic. Regularly consuming food or drink with high acidity levels wears away your tooth enamel. This makes teeth more susceptible to cavities, tooth discoloration, and sensitivity.

The Combination of Sugar and Acid Packs a Mean Punch

Energy and sports drinks launch a twofold attack on your teeth: while acid weakens the enamel, sugar feeds cavity-causing bacteria and contributes to decay. Not a good combo! While sugar-free options are available, the majority of these types of drinks are chock full of sugar. Unfortunately, even the sugar-free versions are still as acidic as their sweet counterparts.

Consume Acidic And Sugary Beverages Wisely

Here are some tips to protect your teeth if you are drinking energy and sports drinks:

  1. Don’t make it a daily habit. Drink sports drinks only during high-intensity workouts, not on a regular basis, and minimize the number of energy drinks you consume.
  2. Drink it all at once instead of sipping throughout the day.
  3. Rinse out your mouth or chew sugarless gum afterward. This will help increase saliva production and counteract acidity.

Know The Facts, Protect Your Smile

Believe it or not, the adverse effects these drinks have on teeth isn’t widely known. With 30 to 50 percent of U.S. teens consuming energy drinks, and as many as 62 percent consuming at least one sports drink per day, it’s important that people understand how damaging they can be to teeth.

If you have more questions about sports or energy drinks, call us at 1-877-LANE-DDS or send us a message by filling out our contact us form!

We’re always happy to hear from our patients and we love to make you smile!
