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.

Tessa is terrific as is Dr Christa! I most appreciated both of them telling me what they were doing or going to do. They kept me informed on each step along the way as they prepared the base for my crown.

The hygienist that was cleaning my teeth, think her name was Chantal very personable and smart - I could tell she was knowledgeable and knew what she was doing. I am picking about who does my teeth. Plus I made my appt. Right before work so she had everything on the room very comfortable and ready to go - just the atmosphere I like- love this place! Make my grill nice and white!

Dr. Tran and his staff are very friendly and they all took the time to make sure I was comfortable. After Dr. Tran's examination he and I came up with a treatment plan to best suit my needs.

Very friendly staff. They did a great job with my teeth and were very upfront with what they were doing, what my insurance covered, and any costs that I might incur. Would definitely recommend to a friend!

Chantel was professional and her personal cleaning technique is gentle while thorough. She is the best hygienist I have had in along time. She is sweet and very personable. My new female dentist was also thorough in her exam and answered all my questions. It was a great appointment!

I had a relatively simple filling done. The results were satisfactory, but while I was in the chair, after local anesthetic had been administered, the dentist excused himself and left me and the assistant alone for what turned out to be 15-20 minutes. Upon return, he said that he had to attend to post-cleaning exams, and suggested that scheduling of cleanings might be too tight. In addition, while the dentist was working on my filling, he and the assistant discussed lunch plans at some length. Maybe I'm being a little picky, but that's the first time I've ever been in the chair and felt like my procedure was the second-most important subject on his mind.

I went in with reservations due to horrific experiences at past dental offices. I was met with very warm receptionists and my hygienist, Shantel, was absolutely amazing! We struggled a bit with the x-rays as I have a very small/shallow lower jaw area but she talked me through it and kept me calm and laughing. The dentist was awesome too and made sure I didn't feel anxious or embarrassed. Literally the best dental experience I have had in my lifetime.

Locum tenens dental hygienist(from Mississippi) and dentist(retired from a Wisconsin practice of 40 years) were both excellent! I am a physician and have been a patient at this practice site for 30 years with three previous dentists, two of whom, the most recent, only stayed 2-3 years each.
