Ear Nose & Throat

Vaping has seen an explosion in popularity in recent years. Electronic cigarettes or “e-cigarettes” are battery operated devices that heat a nicotine-laced liquid (in addition to a number of chemical additives – glycol, glycerin and usually some type of flavoring) into a vapor so that it may be inhaled like a cigarette, and “vaping” is the act of inhaling the flavored nicotine fog. Vaping has been marketed as a healthy alternative to smoking because it does not contain tobacco, but are e-cigarettes and vaping really harmless?

It’s a common lament of many parents: their child always seems to be sick and has a cough that just won’t go away. If you’re one of these parents, you might not know what’s causing it and when you should take your young one to the doctor. This blog would like to answer those questions.

Do you have nasal obstruction? Are allergy medicines doing nothing to relieve your symptoms? Did your doctor tell you that you may have weak outer nasal walls? If so, a new treatment available at CEENTA may be right for you.

Smoking is a major cause of health problems in America. It is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States, with more than 480,000 deaths each year. Additionally, it is the leading cause of a number of diseases, and quitting smoking can actually reduce the risk or those diseases. Now, a new study has shown that if sinusitis patients quit smoking, they will see their condition improve, too.

Since 1923, CEENTA has cared for the eyes, ears, noses, and throats of the residents of Charlotte and beyond. As an active member of the community, we want our patients to be able to use their senses to enjoy the city we call home.
