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 changed dental offices initially due to a promotional incentive from a coworker who referred me and couldn't be happier with the change. The office has such a better "relaxed" vibe and I love getting the same hygienist, Beth, each time. I'm definitely staying here for the long haul!

Midwest Dental has been my dental care provider since 1987. They have always provided the highest quality dental care and personalized oral hygiene education to me . The staff are always friendly and courteous and ready to help and respond to any minor or major dental treatment.

All I can say is yes even if you have been coming to this office for years and you have always paid off your bills.In a timely manner.If you are going to a different Midwest you better hope that they don't find out, because they will not work on your teeth unless everything is paid in full. I even the issue really it's the Snotty way that they tell you that. Just to quote them well if you're going to a different Midwest then you have to pay all of our money 1st.

Yesterday was my 3rd visit to Midwest Dental after my long time dentist shut their doors a year or so ago. Beth, my hygienist yesterday did an amazing job cleaning my teeth. I don't know if I have ever left an appointment having them feel so "bare". Also, last year I chipped my front tooth on a sandwich, yes a sandwich, and Midwest Dental got me in that very day to smooth out the rough area. Their prices are fair and the office setting is professional, without being over the top. They also have an annual individual/family program you can sign up for in which you will then receive discounted services for the year. Highly recommend!

I have a broken tooth and they treated me awesome! Got me in right away and gave me several choices or plans to choose from, and worked with me on billing since I have no insurance.!!

Holly is amazing and always has been. I love that it's like coming to visit friends . It's so cool that Julie always remembers my name and details about my life. I'm warming up to the new dentist and I think he's a super guy! I appreciate everyone at your office, family atmosphere and the genuine way I've been treated for years! Thank you for making it such a great experience EVERY single time.
