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.

I had excellent treatment by Dr Arban and her assistant for a crown I needed done. She remembered I had mentioned going on a trip up north and had athe whole process wrapped up in one session.

I really get great care at this dental office. They really take the time to explain to me the importance things to know about how to best care my teeth and their special needs. I have been given special instructions when needed to prevent my teeth from getting worse. They have made available to me exactly what I need to save my teeth from the types of decay they will experience without this specialized care. Thank you so very much Merit Dental! Joshua B.

Dr. Suffaro is so considerate of his patients. They kindly scheduled an emergency exam for my child, who had a terrible toothache. He does not hesitate to go above and beyond if you need him!

Adult only dentist, but I wouldn't trust him my mouth either. Was going here for 3 years. Not child friendly. They may take children, but will let your children have cavities and just let them go because "they will fall out" and be however until it's too late. Had to go to a specialist to pull out a major cavity that they wouldn't do because it was a major problem/pain for my child. He refused to work on my child's mouth. I go to a specialist, come to find out my child has a cavity in almost every tooth. I dropped this dental group and went with the specialist elsewhere. I thought going to a dentist starting at a young age would help, to help prevent cavities. This group is just allowing cavities so they can make more money. Thousands of dollars later, my kid's teeth are fixed but could have been prevented with a better dentist. Go with a pediatric dentist, there's others around the surrounding area, do not send your child to this dental group.

Tina is amazing. I absolutely hate going to the dentist normally but the experience is 100 times better because of her. The doctors and front desk staff are phenomenal as well!

Dr.Sulfaro and his team are very compassionate and gentle. I have went in several times to get some extensive work done and every experience has been really good! I say this because I've had some very bad experiences with Dentists in the past which in turn has made me fearful of everyone in the industry because you don't know who really cares and who you can trust. I'm so happy I've found a Dental team that has put my fears to rest!!
