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.

Had teeth checked, x-rayed and cleaned. No pain at all. Was very happy with them. Will definitely go back. Was looking for new dentist as my other one retired and am well satisfied with them.

I had an emergency dental situation with a very painful molar - I spoke with Cherie on the phone, she was wonderful! Her compassion, empathy, and understanding were incredible. Dr. Hughes was just was wonderful! She definitely leads by example! Dr. Hughes took it upon herself to call multiple endodontist offices to ensure I could be seen that day. I was a new patient for Midwest Dental, they took care of me like I was a years long patient! Absolutely amazing people!!

I was impressed with everyone I dealt with. It was also obvious you were equipped with the latest technologies, which was nice to see. If you hadn't been, I would have looked for another dentist. Thanks for making it a very comfortable experience

I recently moved to Chisago City and needed to establish care in the area. Midwest Dental was highly recommended by a trusted acquaintance, so I decided to give it a try. I went for a check-up and found I needed some fillings, which I suspected. I was so pleased with the exam, the care, the dentist, and the entire staff that I didn't hesitate making another appointment. Just had the fillings put in, and will continue to get my dental care at Midwest Dental. I have no reservations in giving Midwest Dental five stars!!

Excellent experience with Dr. Iburg and staff. I am 87 years old and this is the first time I can say it was a pleasant experience having dental work done. Also my first time at Midwest Dental. Dr. Iburg and staff were terrific.
