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.

Just went to my scheduled appointment and was told it was canceled, 2nd time in a row. Did not get a phone call to my cell and receptionist said she left a message but there was none on my land line either. Very disappointed in the service currently. Did not reschedule as I don't want to be canceled on again.

They have rescheduled appointments 3xs in a row, due to issues on their side! When appointments are constantly rescheduled it conflicts with the customers personal work schedule and wants to blame the customer!!

Have been a patient of Midwest Dental for more than 2 years. It has been very good experience so far. They are practical and look for affordable ways to provide the right treatment in stead of pushing for the most expensive one, which is what I have experienced with few others. They are quite clean and I have been there even during pandemic and never felt uneasy. On billing matters also they explain very transparently all the options. Overall it has been a very experience for me and I will continue to go there as long as I stay in QC area.

Staff is amazing. Very friendly and professional and will 100% get to the root of the problem. You can tell the hygienists regularly brush up on their knowledge. The whole office has a great flossophy and their dental care proves it. I was worried about having a gap after having two teeth removed but Dr. Teahen assured me we'd cross that bridge when we got to it. They made a great first impression.

Predatory dental practice. Their billing specialists mislead patients stating that their insurance will pay a large portion of their dental bills but then once services are rendered bill the full amount of the dental services done. I would not recommend coming to a business that purposely misleads people.

I went to have a deep clean and Jimmy there was really nice and attentive to my care. Even when I couldn't speak English well, they have translators for almost any language there is. I really appreciate their service and would definitely recommend them to my friends and family.

I had a wonderful visit at the Davenport MidWest Dental. Connie was amazing at helping me fill out my paperwork and Stephanie and Dr. Teahen were very nice and I felt very educated on dental health and comfortable when I was done with my cleaning.

Midwest Dental was amazing! I had put off going to the dentist because of a bad experience years ago. Recently I needed a tooth pulled and I had heard good reviews about Midwest so I made an appointment. I seriously can't say enough about how great Midwest is! Everyone of their staff whom I encountered during my appointment were so friendly! I was embarrassed of my teeth because I had put off going for so long but the staff made me feel so comfortable I might even wear sweatpants on my next vist! But seriously they were beyond nice and my fear of the dentist completely went away. They were fast and affordable. I can easily give Midwest Dental 5 stars. Thanks Midwest! Your the best!

Building and offices are clean and well organized. I always get a warm welcome from the staff when I visit. I found the dentist and hygienists knowledgeable and clarify any questions or concerns I bring. As a young adult and not knowing a lot about the finances relating to my visit I found Connie at the front desk to be very helpful explaining insurance coverages and further scheduling details specific to my personal situation. Having a dental office such as this one makes life a little bit easier!
