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 recently switched to Midwest Dental and absolutely loved my experience here. The staff were all very polite and friendly. The woman who did my intake x-rays and cleaning was very personable and easy to talk to. Almost felt like I knew her by the end of my first appointment. Dr. Ron Cole was so very nice and down to Earth and took his time thoroughly explaining everything. He didn't try to sell me on work I didn't need or want..unlike other places around town. I felt very comfortable and relieved to finally find the right place for my picky butt lol
