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.

Ladies were very nice but service was rushed. I was in the chair for about 8 minutes for an cray. Doctor said I need an oral surgeon but gave no gel or movacain or anything for screaming pain in face. I was told to rotate tylenol and ibuprofen a special way that barely made a difference. Oral surgeon they recommended is a 2 month wait. I found another that could get me in much laster only 5 days. He agreed these doctors can do more to make patients comfortable in between visits antibiotics takes days to subside pain like this. VERY disappointment I was brushed off so quick with out any relief !

I came in as a new patient and Dr. Shah and staff couldnt have been more welcoming. Dr. created a complete care plan that is a staged development to get my oral health back in perfection condition. My hygienist did an excellent job cleaning my teeth and the procedure was pain free. I highly recommend Midwest Dental! They are fantastic!!!
