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.

I took my son for his first dental appointment and it was such a great experience! He, believe it or not, had such a blast! They took really good care of him and even gave him a goodie bag at the end! Highly recommend!

Hygienist and doctor my husband enjoyed working with. The hygienist was very nice and very helpful. I had a finance is and ask a question I got and abrupt no from the front desk and she could not hang up fast enough. I stopped her to ask question got another abrupt no and she hung up fast. MY question was more for the Dentist and not directed at her. She should have asked the doctor. I like the place until I was treated poorly by receptionist. My daughter uses a MidWest Dental in Waverly Iowa and loves it. I am just steamed because she answered a Dr.s question that she had no business answering.

Great staff and awesome Dentist. I can only give a 4 star rating since I feel the business needs another qualified Dentist working in the Kewanee location to handle patient needs. I truly worry about losing another tooth before being scheduled in a timely manner. They are so booked out that it is impossible to get in when needed. Resulting in major problems before they can get to them. Routine exams are no problem to book . Other services are very difficult to book in a timely manner.
