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 loved The Doctors and Hygienists are the Best here. I just loved down the street from their business, Now I will be making an appointment for the Midwest Dental here in Canton Illinois

Do not recommend. Waits are long. Procedures will be approved under your deductible, then you will be charged after the fact. The office is lousy at answering their phones or returning calls, but will repeatedly mail you invoices or ads. Walked in to a lot of office staff sitting around but won't return a call.

The only problem I have is with the amount of dentists that this company has gone through. The current dentist is awesome and the dental hygienist's are fantastic. The turn over rate at the Lincoln office is unacceptable

Receptionist staff is unbelievably rude. I called in today to reschedule my appointment for the next day. I know it's still a little late notice but I was trying to be proactive and move the appointment because I have my second covid shot today and I'm afraid I won't feel well tomorrow. I didn't want to cancel on them in the morning so I called today. The woman who answered the phone was unbelievably rude to me and said it would be a little while before I could get in. I told her that was okay, it was just a cleaning I wasn't having any issues. She very snottily told me that it may just be a cleaning to me but it's her hygienists time. I apologized to her again for needing to reschedule trying to be nice about it after being treated so poorly. She then proceeded to tell me how I would feel and that I needed to just come in and do it regardless of how I felt. So, I've fired Midwest dental and will never recommend them to anyone. Once I started telling her that i would just cancel and not use them anymore she tried to backpeddle and apologize but I'm done. I pay for your service you're not free you're actually expensive so no, I don't have to use a dentist office who talks to their customers like this.

This facility is the best! They have restored my faith in dentistry. The staff is nice, friendly, helpful, and kind. The dentists that have been there are personable, thorough and I feel safe and comfortable in the chair. While I miss Julio - he has been replaced by some very competent staff in the search for a permanent professional. Thanks!

I was in for a cleaning a couple weeks ago and got great service. Teri is the best! I met Dr. Jim for the first time. He was congenial and thorough in examining a patient for the first time. He also offered a great tip for teeth brushing in the hard-to-reach area at the back of your mouth. Thanks!

Found out Dr. Anisha left. Only a matter of time before the other dr leaves now. What a shame.This office goes through dentists like none other! I noticed that a few of the hygienists were very rude with major attitude towards the doctors. That's probably the reason. That office needs better management to control their staff

I usually hate going to the dentist, but both of my visits here have been as pleasant as a dental visit can be. The staff were very friendly and helpful, it wasn't painful (which is always a nice plus), and my visits were timely. The first visit was a little longer just because of xrays and the initial exam, but the cleaning was done well and quickly and I didn't have to miss much work. They've also got good hours if you don't want to miss a ton of work.
