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.

Like always, I was greeted politely and was escorted to the examination room on time. The hygienist did a nice job of taking X-rays and cleaning my teeth and listened/documented my concerns. Dr. Laporte was a friendly, cheerful and professional as always. She addressed my concerns, discussed my various options, and responded intelligently to all of my questions. We've been seeing Dr. Laporte now for a year (after our family dentist retired after 30+ years) and we couldn't be happier with our choice. She and the team at Midwest Dental in Eagan do a great job!

It is nearly October 2022 and this business is still requiring masks to sit in their lobby. I refuse to give a penny to any dentist that requires a mask to sit in their lobby. Think about it, the mask has to come off for any dental procedure. This is a perfect example of something that makes absolutely no sense. Currently, the CDC doesn't require masks in hospitals and other clinic settings. Yet many businesses are still living in fear and require them. No fear or face diapers for me.

Like a lot of people, I dread going to the dentist. It's often a painful experience, let's be honest. But Midwest Dental in Eagan is completely different. The whole staff is super friendly, personable and accommodating, and they really use a gentle touch. I've been there a few times and never had anything even approaching a bad experience - the dentists really go out of their way to ensure their patients are comfortable.

On Thursday October 21, 2021 I had a appointment to get a Root Canal, and a Crown. I had not been there since 2017. GREAT LOCATION. Tracy was extremely helpful with assisting on all the insurance questions. She was very patient and makes you feel like your the only one there. Traci Assisted the Dr..Dentist with the dental work She was professional and particle pretty much never.leaves.your side. Dr Le' ( the dentist)this was my first time meeting him. My first thought was man he looks young :) He patiently explained everything. I was able to receive nessareery and needed IN Formation This Dr. Le" preformed the root canal and the Crown. Traci Assisted him very well. I was impressed with this dental care I literally could have falling asleep. I think every business should return to this type of Customer Service. FIive star RATING, IS WELL DESERVED. Jennifer

Dental appointment was done in a timely manner. Leslie was friendly and competent cleaning my teeth. Dr. Laparte examined my teeth and answered any questions I had. Also COVID precautions were in place. Appointment could not have gone better.
