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.

Every one of the staff at Holmen Midwest Dental treats you like you are special including Dr. Gill. Not only are they personable, they are knowledgeable and believe in preventative care. I never feel anxious going there for dental appointments because I completely trust them with providing any dental treatments!

Every single employee that I have come into contact with at the Holmen office has been friendly, polite and genuinely interested in my concerns. Over my nearly 80 years I have come in contact with several dentists in several different parts of the country. Dr. Gill is both very professional and compassionate. I have been on a dental journey for the past several months and I can honestly say that even though it has been stressful and at times painful, for the first time ever, I look forward to going to my appointments. Most of my interactions have been with Angie, Kiana and Dr. Gill, but the entire office staff at this office appears to be compatible, efficient and friendly.

Highly recommended. Knowledgeable and polite staff. The Holmen location is great. Avoid Onalaska Location. Dentistry at its finest all around.

I've went to Midwest Dental to get a tooth fixed. I have High Blood pressure so before they would do anything, they talked only about me having to be below a level before they would even look at me to fix the tooth. Level didn't meet what they wanted, so they didn't do anything. Also I asked about Nitrous Oxide if they would give me some. I only got this run around answer only if that room is available. Also I don't like that they won't charge to your insurance company they want their money up front. All these things made me go to a different dentist that understands my needs and has no problem with High Blood Pressure because I have it under control with medication. My new dentist at Siegert Dental was amazing. He fixed my cracked tooth and had a much better experience than at Midwest Dental Holmen.

My original dentist retired a few years ago. Since then I have been on the search for a new dentist. Spent about the last two years getting care from Midwest Dental in Holmen. Each time I went there I had something else wrong. From needing braces or my teeth will fall out to having a tongue tie I should have clipped. Had a cleaning in fall of 2021. Good exam, no cavities, one area to keep an eye on. Came in for my routine cleaning in April of 2022. I had no concerns. Dr. Gill said I had 6 cavities and needed a crown. Weird to go from just fine to 6 cavities. The quote they gave me for the crown was $1200 plus an extra couple hundred for all the cavities. I finally decided to get a second opinion. The new dentist agreed I needed a crown. He did not find any cavities and one spot to keep an eye on. The total cost for the crown at a different dentist was $188. Long way from the $1200 midwest would have charged me. Yes, both of the dental offices are in my network.

Poor customer service. Billed incorrectly. Dental hygienists are traveling employees so you don't know who you're getting. Dr Gill is difficult to understand and is hurried when you see her. Little to no personality. Will not be returning here.

I'm new to the area and I chose to do my dentistry at Midwest Dental in Holmen. Dr. Gill and the support staff are so pleasant to work with! Dr. Gill is very thorough and she explains things in an easy-to-understand manner. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

Look elsewhere! Another corporate giant who does NOT practice what they advertise! They can not do any of the services on their website - buyer beware!! The "doctor" is unprofessional, unwilling to listen and you'll be just another number. Do yourself a favor, do not go there! Will be reporting to Wisconsin Board of Dentistry, Wisconsin DSPS and Better Business Bureau.
