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.

Sorry to be the one to rock the score here...but we need to get real. Went here for years before Midwest bought out. A couple of the short staying dentists were great, but then they were left with the one there now. My FIL and myself both received treatment plans that were not needed. I know because we both got second opinions. To make matters worse, I had to call 3 times to ensure my future appt was cancelled AND requested twice for my records to be sent to my new dentist. At my appt, my dentist still didn't receive them. I filled out forms at my new dentist and had them request my records. Went in for my 2nd 6 month cleaning at the new dentist, they STILL hadn't sent them. "Vicki" at Midwest said she would send them back in April. Nothing. Inessa (hygenist) is literally the only wonderful person (been there since prior to the buyout) left. I think she needs to move before that place implodes.

Dentist does high quality work. Both the dentist and staff are excellent at what they do, and are highly personable.

My teeth needed new crowns and the doctor was very conscious of costs in addition to being very professional in caring for my teeth. I have been a patient with this organization for many years.

Pam is always thorough yet gentle in her exam & cleaning process. My teeth are gleaming white when I leave and I never worry about going to the dentist!

Midwest has a new dentist, Dr. Fakhra Ahmad. Although my experience with her is somewhat limited, it's positive. She is very exacting in her approach to dental health. What I mean is what other dentists would dismiss, she brings your attention to. I like that trait very much. I trust her opinion.

The Dentist Is wonderful! And Jessica too. They calmed my anxiety down right away. I would like to switch dentists in the future. I'll tackle that before my next cleaning.

Been going to this location for years. Lots changed in the town but the service and attention to people have always stayed perfect. Cleans go by smoothly, they work with you and your schedule to find the best course of action to any problems. Bottom line it's a great dentist office.

Midwest dental in Lake in the Hills Illinois is the BEST!! The office Staff is caring, professional, and congenial. The dental hygienists do a thorough job and are genuinely interested in their patients' care. Dr. Lion ensures his patients feel comfortable and cared for, and he likes to laugh and smile with you along the way through check-ups or dental procedures. I am very happy with him as my dentist and I would recommend him and this dental practice to everyone!

I love this office.!!!!!! Dr. Lion called me to explain my procedure knowing I have lots of anxiety. Then, while doing the procedure, he told me again what he was going to fix. He gave me breaks and made feel like like I was the only patient even while having a full waiting room and others there. Thank you so Much. . .

I went in for a deep cleaning and paid over 200 dollars. My teeth felt slightly cleaner but still had plaque on my lower teeth. It was disappointing considering I had to pay that much money for only half of my mouth. I switched dentists and when went to sign release forms for my xrays the lady at the front desk was rude.
