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.

Everyone I was in contact with at Midwest Dental, from the receptionist to the dentist were all very friendly & explained a lot of things to me. I'm glad I chose them for my dental checkup.

The worst cleaning I have ever Had. I Didnt get my normal Hygenist, i recieved a traveling hygenist. I was not given glasses, they didn't floss my teeth, had to have my mouth open for crazy long periods of time. They only rinsed my mouth with water one time.

Great Staff! I had some yellowing soft enamel spots taken care of on my front teeth. I am shook with how great they look now! The dentist matched the filling color to my tooth color perfectly, you can't even tell there are filings there now! The staff, along with the Dentist I saw are all wonderful. Highly recommend!

I love how friendly the front desk is, the ladies made us laugh at every visit! We also appreciated the gal coming to explain everything going to happen. Everyone was very accommodating to our schedules too. Y'all worked a miracle!

My hygienist Melanieasy brought me back to "the chair". She is informative and fun and makes cleanings comfortable. Doc is a pleasure to work with as well and while there other employees made the effort to say hello and made my visit pleasant. Very good team working here! Choose Midwest

Really personable staff and thorough. Enjoyed the experience. Also, this was the first dentist in 25 years who chose to acknowledge my TMJ and refer me to someone to help. Felt cared for. Thank you for that.

After being nervous to go to the dentist, I was pleasantly surprised at how welcoming everyone at Midwest Dental in Chilton were. The Hygienist is amazing and makes getting my teeth cleaned a somewhat enjoyable experience.

I once had a scheduled appointment which I failed to appear at due to reasons outside of my control. I called the very next day and the lady on the phone gave me a bit of an attitude as she claimed they were booked for next 5 months. THE NEXT FIVE MONTHS. How ridiculous is that? If you can't serve your local customers in a timely fashion then you might need to address that.

I've had a few doctors in the last few years of my care here, and I can't recall ever being disappointed. All of the staff are great to interact with, and they make a dreaded dental visit into a fun and laughable time. Alliee is an amazing assistant and always thoroughly answers and explains any questions. She has an amazingly genuine demeanor that puts you at ease and makes you feel special. I almost always end up laughing during numbing injections, when years ago I was a crying anxious mess during them. My husband had dreaded the dentist and ignored dental needs for ten years. I finally convinced him to come in and he has been so happy with his experiences. I cannot say enough good things about the Chilton clinic!

I am very pleased with the dental work I had done at Midwest Dental Chilton. Dr. John, his hygienists, and the staff are very friendly and do a thorough wonderful job. Having had bad experiences in the past with my dental care, their dental practice is very appreciated. I would definitely recommend them!

I have had to have fillings since I was little. For the first time in my life with dentists, Dr. Reed's dental block hardly hurt! Dental blocks usually make my eyes water, not anymore! He takes his time, so his patients are comfortable! Highly recommend both him and his assistant! She takes the time to listen to all of your concerns too! A HUGE thank you to both of you!!
