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.

The hygienist made my very stained teeth as white as it's ever been, I cannot remember a hygienist who has gotten my teeth as white as they were gotten today. Everyone was courteous and answered all my questions to the best of their ability and gave me a proper treatment plan.

Dr. Mehta and his team were very professional and friendly! I had my first visit this morning and I will be back in 6 months! Everyone is welcoming and treats you like family. He has taken care of my entire family and extended family too! Dr. Mehta listens to our needs and is flexible to schedule with. The office is nice and has the latest technology for procedures. I was able to fill out insurance paperwork with ease and would highly recommend Dr. Mehta and his team to anyone looking for exceptional dental care!

I hate to be that guy. But I must share my current experience. Both my wife and I are newer patients we immediately felt comfortable with the staff. 3 to 4 visits a piece without any major problems ( had to go back a couple times to have fillings re shaped due to painful bite) I guess that's not common but not the end of the world. We moved 30+ miles away from Farmington but kept this as our dentist because we "liked the staff" . My wife had a couple major issues we were working on with her teeth. Long story short she needed a couple crowns. We were presented what our insurance would cover and built a plan around that. Everything was covered with a minimum co pay minus 2 crowns. So we went ahead and did everything minus thouse 2 crowns as once the new year started we would be able to have them cover in that next insurance year. October we get a call from the receptionist stating that wow our insurance year actually starts in october . Great news! We can get the last 2 crowns done covered by insurance . Procedure was scheduled and performed. Fast forward to today my wife goes in for her routine cleaning to find out we have an active bill of over $1600 . And the receptionist told her "yea we apologize the insurance didn't cover your last 2 crowns" absolutely shocked by this she refused to pay and came home to tell me the news. Here is were it gets bad. We contact her insurance who confirmed that yes her insurance reset in october and it should be covered. After some calls I find out the insurance company refused the claim because the procedure was NEVER NEEDED IN THE FIRST PLACE!! We were absolutely lied to by the dentist We were lied to by the receptionist ( I like to believe she just didn't know what she was doing) The board of dentistry has been notified as there is an active investigation. Hopefully this is a one off incident but my wife and I felt we were betrayed lied to and essentially robbed! Tread carefully double check everything! Its unfortunate but it's the world we live . I'm happy to say the problem was resolved and e

Dr. Palmer and her staff are friendly as well as professional. My experience has been one of the best experiences in my life. They were able to notify me of a problem I did not know existed and promptly referred me to Advanced Oral Surgery. Highly recommended
