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.

From the moment I walked in, I was treated with respect & kindness. Kathy, my hygienist, took the time to explain things to me and listened when I had input or questions. She was very kind and made me feel very comfortable. She also did a great job cleaning my teeth. Thank you

Chelsea and Dr. Metzler are both outstanding. Chelsea actually makes dental hygiene a really enjoyable experience. She is great to relate to, and genuinely cares about you. Dr. Metzler never tries to "oversell" procedures.

My experience at Midwest dental has always been great. The staff is friendly. I was taken in a few minutes early for my appointment and got done early. Very satisfying.

My mom went in for a cleaning/check up and was advised she had a cavity/ needed a root canal done. When she got home she noticed they had broken her molar. The following day her left side of her face got EXTREMELY swollen from her cheek all the way to her eye. It has now been 5 days and it's still swollen. She went to the ER and was advised she needed to see a surgeon. 3hrs later they did a surgey in the part that they worked on. For evreyonr safety I would NOT recommended to go here AT ALL.

I went in for a cleaning/check up and was advised I had a cavity/ needed a root canal done. When she got home she noticed they had broken her molar. Few days after the check up they tried to filling that without do a correct procedure. The following day my left side of my face got EXTREMELY swollen from my cheek all the way to her eye. It has now been 5 days and it's still swollen. I went to the ER and was advised I needed to see a surgeon. 3hrs later they did a surgey in the part that they worked on. Now I need to see the Endodoncista to see if they can do a root canal, a lot expenses, a lot of pain etc etc For everyone safety I would NOT recommended to go here if you need a special care.
