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.

Unlike many businesses and healthcare agencies, Merit Shamokin Dam seems fully staffed with quality personnel, even for a sudden, non-urgent call-in like me. Plus they are both friendly AND professional.

Took my 90-yr-old mom for a long overdue check up. She was reluctant to go to say the least. The staff were very upbeat, reassuring and accommodating. She had most of her care in her wheelchair. Very pleased.

First of all, I was able to get an appointment right away. With the way the World is currently, I was expecting a long waiting period. The staff was delightful and the hygienist was amazing. The doc was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I recommended Merit to my entire staff as most are transplants and looking for a new dentist. Will continue ue sending business to this location.
