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 am a new patient here and decided to choose this dentistry because of the good reviews. Everyone that works here has been very kind. They are honestly more thorough than anywhere I've been. They explained everything thoroughly and spent quite a bit of time working with me and answering my questions. They also spend time explaining to me future concerns they might have with my teeth to prepare me for what may happen in the future. Very happy I found such a friendly, helpful place!

Dr Walker, Kayla, Diane and Kim are the most personable, compassionate and knowledgeable dental team there is. I have had a LOT of problems with my teeth over the years, but I completely trust Dr Walker and his exceptional team, and they've never failed me. For the first time in my life, I actually like going to the dentist!

Midwest Dental let me know what needed to be done. I particularly like seeing the photos of dental work to be done. The dental work was done efficiently,and with a minimum of discomfort. Have always had a good experience at Midwest Dental.

I'd give Dr. Walker 10 stars if I could. If anyone has had dental anxiety in the past at other providers, I highly suggest you see Dr. Walker at Midwest Dental in Cedar Falls. I have had issues with getting numb before dental procedures for many years and other providers always blew me off. When you have to go though a crown and root canal with dental anesthetic not working, it's kind of a big deal. Dr. Walker figured out why this was happening and was able to get me numb with no problems for my crown. It appears that I have a rare nerve anatomy and Dr. Walker discovered it. I can't thank you enough for listening to my concerns and figuring out what the issue was. Everyone at this dental office is professional and very nice. Kim at the front desk is always very helpful with any questions that I have and Diane is a super great hygienist!

Love Dr Walker, Kim and the entire staff! Recently I started having a horrible issue with TMJ and could barely open my mouth, Dr Walker took the time to diagnose the exact problem and make a splint, within a week my pain was 90% improved! After months and months of pain it was amazing! So appreciative that he took the time to listen and find the problem!

I just moved here from Colorado. After reading the reviews I made an appointment and was totally satisfied. From the staff at the front desk to Diane the hygienist and the knowledge from Dentist himself I can surely see why they get great reviews and deserve 5 stars! I am definitely looking forward to my next visit.

This is the butcher CROWNS clinic! Board of dentists should investigate you Dr. Walker. Dr Walker all what he wants to do is CROWNS.Eventhough he is is excellent in placing crowns. He wants to put crowns when its not necessarily needed. For sure to make more $$$.When 3 other dentists told me I don't need crown Dr walker insisted on a crown. How childish you are Dr. walker. Dr. Walker the grumpy doesn't allow second opinion. He told his staff he cannot see me anymore because I went to a different clinic for another opinion. You stay nice and super chatty and you threaten all your patients with root canals until you hear a "no "for your crowns!?? You become grumpy and unprofessional! If you say you prefer another option he suddenly become the grumpiest dr and ignores whatever you say. He chooses to keep patients that listen to his recommendations for crowns all the way. If you care about your teeth avoid Dr. Walker.
