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.

Merit dental is a great place. The dental practitioner, Jaime, who helped me was terrific. The dentist was top notch and super professional and took time out of his busy day to go over all the x-rays and dental procedures I would need and the receptionist was super helpful and setup an appointment with an endodontist for a root canal and also explained all the financial options available to me. For someone who neglected their teeth and dental work for 20 years they never made me uncomfortable or chastised me which I also greatly appreciated. Can't think you can get better service than Merit Dental in the greater Lansing area

I stopped by because I was having a problem my tooth and want too see if I could schedule an appointment and was Surprised to find that they could check it out right away. They were able to find the problem and help with a referral to another dentist. I am very happy with the outcome. Thanks again for all your help.

Zachary Sejan is my dentist who has the greatest bedside manner. I believe he truly cares about his patients. He listened to my personal dental care needs and came up with a great, affordable plan. I love the plan he set for me. He is patient and takes his time, explaining everything as he works. His staff is warm and friendly, yet professional and efficient. I feel I found a winner.

I am very grateful to Dr. Sejan and staff for being able to schedule an appointment with my granddaughter quickly and helping her to feel comfortable during her tooth extraction. They were all professional, kind and took the time to explain everything that was going on and what needed to take place. Highly recommend!
