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.

Strongly patient-centered practice with a helpful and friendly support staff. Dr. Milano referred me to an endodontist for further care. His diagnosis was direct with outcomes clearly stated, and a prescription ordered for the interim.

So glad that my husband and I found this practice. Amanda is wonderful; always takes the time to fully explain everything. I hadn't been to a dentist in a long time because of TMJ issues, Amanda takes these issues into consideration and allows for breaks during treatment if needed. Office staff that we have dealt with have also been pleasant. Highly recommend.

I went in for my appointment and asked to make sure my insurance was valid on the computer on their end and they told me yes. I proceeded to get a cleaning and a couple cavities filled back in July after they stated I had insurance and what my co-pay would be. I paid the co-pay before leaving. I just now received a bill in the mail for an extreme amount of money that I owe from that visit when I did have insurance according to them. So 6 months after the fact I get this thrown in my face? I'll never go back to them after this little scandal.

I had gone to Aspen Dental and they told me I must have all my teeth pulled out. I thought, NO WAY, and made appt with Midwest Dental. They were all so nice and explained my problems, and it turns out I will have one tooth pulled and they will try to save the rest by cleaning and so on. I would spend my money SAVING my teeth than getting them pulled and wearing dentures. I am 73 and have all my own teeth. I am not looking forward to the work, but feel relieved.

This is actually Kenny's wife Bev Stumpf. I had my annual cleaning with Liz. She was EXCEPTIONAL. Thorough and gental at the same time. Dr. D did my exam and was so very friendly and again very thorough. Definitely will tell my family and friends about this office.
