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.

The hygienist made me feel comfortable and reassured me during the whole visit! I normally can't stand going to the dentist, but she made me want to go back!

I have been going to Midwest Dental for about a year now. I changed to their office because of insurance and the whole team at Midwest Dental made the transition super easy! Most people don't love to go to the dentist but they are always super friendly and get you in and out so you can go about your day. They are also great about answering any questions you have. 10/10 would recommend!

This was my first visit to the practice, and I was very impressed. Everyone was friendly and efficient. I felt comfortable and confident that they were well skilled. Dr . Peddireddy is excellent. My insurance agent recommended the practice, and I am so grateful that she did.

Just called to be a possible new patient. The receptionist refused a quote because she does not want to download any information regarding insurance. You just lost me before I could even get started. Instead of stating what you're not going to do. Say what needs to be done to inspire possible new patients. Going to the cities Mankato again where the cost is less even when the customer service isn't great!
