Summer is the time for outdoor sports and you can protect your teeth, cheeks, gums and lips with a low-cost mouth guard. It could save you from a knocked out or chipped tooth, and it will prevent you from grinding your teeth during the big game.
No really, just dont. Weve all seen someone open a bottle with their teeth. An amazing feat? Nope, but a great way to cause micro fractures in your teeth. Using your teeth to rip open potato chip bags or to crush ice are also no nos.
The short answer is no. You most likely cannot sunburn your teeth. Shwew! Your lips on the other hand can sunburn. In fact, your lips might be the most susceptible to sunburn. Its important not to rely on regular sunscreen to protect your lips, choose a lip balm with a minimum of SPF 15. It is designed for your lips, and it will stick better. And just like with sunscreen, remember to reapply it every couple hours.
There are lots of reasons to smile all summer long. Evidence suggests that smiling reduces stress and helps your heart. So show those teeth! Brush twice a day, floss daily and smile big. You'll feel better when you do.

My name is Judi Summers (Kaz is my daughter) and NEVER have I received from ANY service provider the level of care I received from Dr. Balski at Merit Dental in Brunswick, OH. I had broken a tooth and despite excruciating pain, my dentist (who had seen me, said I needed an extraction, bone graft and an implant at a cost of $7k) couldn't book me until the following week. Desperate, I called Dr. Balski's office and they had me immediately come in. After she read my x-rays, she advised me I had TWO broken molars and a severe abscess. Unlike my dentist, she gave me 2 additional options; a root canal/crown or extractions with an affordable bridge down the road. Not once did she try to upsell me and she even comforted me when I burst into tears at her patience and kindness. I opted for extractions and she constantly checked to make sure I wasn't in pain during the procedure. Her concern was genuine and her insistence that I call her should I have issues was that of a friend, not a doctor. If you need dental care, THIS IS THE DENTIST TO CHOOSE IN CLEVELAND OHIO!

It is always a pleasure coming here. Did I just say that about going to the dentist? YES I DID! Dr. Balski is fantastic. Absolutely love Christine (Hygienist) as well. All the staff make me feel so welcome and comfortable. I have had cleaning, x-rays, fillings, etc. done. At other dental offices, I have had billing and cost issues, but never here. I wouldn't change a thing about how they operate! Thank you!
