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.

0 stars if possible. Left work early for an appointment, double checked ahead of time that they accepted my insurance, and arrived early to fill out all the paperwork. "Magically" didn't accept it when I got there and was filling out paperwork, tried to have my pay out of pocket. Wish they wouldn't have wasted my time/paycheck.

I have very high anxiety when it comes to the dentist. She did her best to explain everything she was doing and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. I liked that there was a big screen infront of you the whole time where they show you your X-rays, pictures of your teeth and explain what they are doing and what you're looking at. They also went over all pricing throughly and let me know what insurance will cover and how much out of pocket etc. One thing I didn't care for was the open concept of the rooms. You are only separated by small movable partitions so you can hear the other patients being worked on. I hate the sound of the drill so that was the only thing that was unpleasant for me. Otherwise overall good experience.

Very accommodating! I had an emergency and called several places to find everyone booked out several months. My coworker suggested Midwest, I called and they were only open until noon as it was a Friday. Receptionist talked to the dentist and she said for me to come on in and they took care of me!! I was super impressed and will be going here from now on! They were very professional, nice and understanding! 10 stars!!!

I had tooth pain, Dr. Laabs prescribed clindamycin. days later I felt like I had covid19. I missed 4 days of work $530. turns out this drug mimics the flew! why would anyone prescribe this during a worldwide pandemic?! I called them and told them what happened and they still want to bill me! STAY AWAY from here!!!

Horrible dental ofc. After being paid in full, they refused to finish my work. After the final payment from me AND my insurance company, they referred me out, ALL WORK LEFT UNDONE!
