Scrambling to get your kids in the car and make it to the dentist in time? At Cannon Park Dentistry, we know that making it to your dentist appointment can be a challenge. Having to schedule two separate appointments at two different dentistry also doesn’t make the job easier.

Here are four reasons why you should use a family dentist.
Schedule appointments for the entire household
A family dentist simplifies dental care because he can treat everyone in your household. No more driving around town from one dentistry to another, instead schedule all of your family’s routine cleanings together.

Do you miss that brilliantly white smile you used to have? Don’t worry, there’s an easy way to get it back and that’s by having your teeth whitened! Here at Cannon Park Dental, we are experts in teeth whitening services. If you have any questions as to whether or not this is the right option for you, we have the answers.
If my teeth are dull, how do I know if whitening would be a good option for me?
The first way to know figure out if teeth whitening is the best for you is to schedule a dental examination with x-rays to determine the reasoning behind the tooth discoloration. If your teeth are discolored due tooth decay or root canal problems, then whitening won’t be a good solution. Also, once you’ve had your teeth cleaned by your dentist, you may realize that you don’t need whitening. After you’ve had your dental exam, we can determine together if teeth whitening is the best option for you.
How white can I expect my teeth to be after the treatment?
No matter how routine a dental procedure is, you may feel at least a twinge of anxiety when visiting the dentist. For some, the phobia is so extreme that they will endure gum disease, tooth pain, and other ailments just to avoid an examination. An estimated 30 to 40 million Americans have some form of dental phobia.
Certain oral diseases can compromise the health of your whole body, so it is important to schedule regular dental visits. Discolored, missing, broken, or otherwise unsightly teeth and gums can negatively impact an individual’s self-esteem, leading to problems in his or her personal and professional life.
Here’s how to diagnose and manage dental anxiety so you can visit the dentist worry-free.

Charleston has been on America’s radar as the country’s top city for a few years running. Our beautiful city is packed full of both historic charm and contemporary attractions. This month, we want to share with you a little more about our city and its history. Common nicknames for Charleston include “Chucktown” and “The Holy City”. When the city was originally established in 1670 by the British, it was named Charles Town to honor King Charles II. “Chuck” is a common nickname for Charles, and thus “Chucktown” was born. Another nickname for our historic port town is “The Holy City,” referring to the many church steeples you can see lining the city’s skyline. At one time, Charleston held the title for the most churches per capita! Many other cities now compete for this title, but the nickname still sticks. Like the steeples, much of the city’s history is still visible today. Hints toward the past are around every corner and every block. There are histor
