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.

Writing a review as a parent who's child had a new patient visit. The staff was friendly and I enjoy that they talked with my child vs just asking me questions. This wasn't her first dental visit, but her first visit to this clinic and they made her feel very welcome! The office is clean and organized.

Highly recommend! I have been a patient here for about 6 years and only have wonderful things to say. Staff is always fantastic. Recently they went above and beyond to welcome our young daughter to the practice and introduce her to her first dental visit. They made it extra fun for her--- especially the provider and hygienist. We couldn't have asked for a better experience for her.

I took my mother to Midwest Dental to have her tooth fixed. She had broken a part of it off. She is 94 years old so her teeth are 94 year old teeth. The dentist did a fabulous job of matching the composite piece to the color of the rest of her teeth. He also filled in the open areas around this tooth so she has her wonderful smile back and her tooth that was fixed looks like nothing ever happened to it. The staff were kind and easy to work with. The hygienist was fun and was entertained by my mother. They were having so much fun- at the dentist! Great place!

Dr. Greene is a great dentist! He makes sure to talk you through everything, and makes sure you understand what he will be doing. He helped a family member who has a true phobia of needles and he made sure to talk to him and distract him while he made him numb. When I went back in for myself, he asked how he was doing and made sure his dental work was good as well (NOT a HIPPA violation in this case). All of the dentists have helped myself, or family members, and I recommend them all at Midwest Dental Melrose.
