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.

Very well satisfied every one was very nice and respectful, explained everything very well. Did not feel preserved into anything not need, first impression was they are truthful and fare. Also, they honored the coverage I had and charges for procedures at a fair price

My experience with the Midwest Dental team at Freeport is superb. I have chronic back pain and they are pleasant to make sure and have a pillow ready in the dentist chair (it's written in my chart). They adjust my chair position until my back can tolerate the position and observe my cues during the visit. This visit I had a newer dental hygienist (Kim) who did an excellent job cleaning my teeth. Plus she was gentle with the high powered equipment that I didn't have any pain. The Dentist (Dr Deepa Yadav) is professional, thorough, respectful, friendly and also makes me feel like an individual important person when being seen even during these Covid times. My appointment was 4/28

I am not from this town, and needed an emergency appointment to fix a tooth....Although they were super busy, they fit me in yesterday as an emergency patient. They were very kind, and I was in and out of there in no time!! Highly recommend!

Best Dental visit I've had in years! I was very comfortable. I felt the staff wa concerned about my needs & health. The dentist examined my teeth, located my issues and set priorities as to what we needed to address first and we worked out a treatment plan that's affordable for me. That's a big plus for me!!

The girls at Midwest Dental are wonderful!! To have a team willing to work with you to get your smile back and ease my anxiety, is worth it. The dentist takes the time to explain each step of the process of the treatment plan and doesn't push you into doing something that you may not be able to afford. I'm glad to be going here and can't wait to see how my smile will be in the future!!!

Absolutely the worst. Bogus charges for services that should have never been given to a teenager. Watch the charges and services they try to force you to get that you don't need and will not be covered by insurance.

I was absolutely certain I would never go back to Midwest Dental after their last Dr. I'm glad I gave Dr. Yadav a chance. She is by far the best dentist I have ever seen. Super kind and super gentle. I will be going back and my family will also be going to see her.

I went in for a root canal and I was terrified of the procedure because I didn't know what to expect. When Dr. Yadav came in I instantly started crying lmao. She insured me that I had nothing to worry about and she would make me comfortable as possible. She did just that. It was overall painless and very to little discomfort afterwards. I highly recommend to check her out she will do her best to make sure you are very comfortable and explain process very thoroughly, and her team is awesome as well. :)

My experiences with Midwest Dental have been quite satisfactory. The chair side staff is friendly yet professional. I felt at ease - and was informed about each stage of the procedure. They regularly checked on my level of comfort. The new dentist seemed confident and skillful - with a gregarious personality. The office personnel take care of billing my medical insurance company.
