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.

First off if you find yourself cold most of the time wear a hoodie or jacket, it's chilly not the star deduction chilly, but enough to make me wonder if I'm an exotherm. All in all this place is okay, it takes a long time, honestly it takes a really long time. I've had 2 appointments in the last 2 days (yay thank god they got me in for a cleaning) but in total of 5 hours there, it's really hard for SAHM to find child care for that amount of time. Next COVID is at its 6th Plateau among writing this, posted all over are signs about wearing masks and covering the cough, which were reassuring, yet it's not enforced, or seemingly requested beyond the signs. The first trip, I didn't even wait to check out because of the patients not wearing masks and sniffeling, that alone made me so uncomfortable that I honestly was scared. Today during my visit a few staff members were with out masks, one was far enough away and not in my path so it didn't freak me out too bad. The other not so much. The mask lack of usage on staff would have knocked this down to a 2 star review. One of the other bigger issues that I saw, there were a bunch of opportunities for cleaning, dandruff on the lead vests, spots and speckles here and there on head lamps on the bright lights, possibly cosmetic problems, totally an opportunity. The staff seemed to be uncomfortable with the tech, which may have lead to the longer wait times. Why this is a 4!!! The gal from New Jersey is amazing. She was real with me and comforting, and did an amazing job! Y'all need to make sure she stays forever! She's a total asset! Also DR.B (I'm not going to mess up his name) found and took opportunities for coaching when a few came up! He seemed calm and cool while providing the direction to the newer gal. This is so rare and comforting to see. Thank you guys. I do hope the next visit will be awesome.

These guys were awesome. Both of my kids (5 and 2)had appointments at the same time. They had their exams and cleanings done quicky and completely. We will be back.

Carla Thebo is the best hygienist I've ever had. She is extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to. 10/10 would recommend going to Midwest Dental just for her!

Staff is friendly and competent. Prices are comparable. I was impressed with the thorough explanation of each tooth's x-ray by Dr Bordini and the treatment plan that resulted, which can be accomplished over time.

Operation has gotten shady. Over the last few years I have gotten the impression they are just out to make a buck off me any way they can. It started with offers to get me "real second opinions" on procedures that had already been recommended against which led me to request not to see certain providers to procedures not covered by insurance that they "had to provide me a quote for" to the latest "covid fee" which first was so they could buy masks and gloves (which they already were buying so that was a lie) then because "all the restaurants were doing it" (also a lie). When challenged on this fee the desk personnel were rude and refused to explain the purpose of the fee while requiring me to sign a form that they could bill it to me when insurance declined to pay it. After my last appointment I specifically declined to make a future appointment and today they called me to "remind me of my appointment next week". Very odd since I intentionally never made one. When I told the caller I was likely looking for a new dentist, he said "okay" and the call was over. He was not even interested in why that might be so. I have been going here for 25 years and am very disappointed. Time for a new dentist.

They are awful. I have been waiting 3 months for an appointment. I have a terrible tooth infection and they just canceled at 630am the day of my appointment. Do not trust them.

Switched dentists in February after moving here to Neenah. Doctor recommended retainers for night grinding and keeping teeth in place. Agreed after being quoted $150. So started this process in February. Couldn't get in to be fitted until April. At that appointment they asked for payment, again only $150. Paid it no problem as that was what I was quoted. Got the retainers finally in May. Now today, July 8th, I get a call saying that I owe an additional $100. The lady who called me was extremely rude about it. I asked why it took 5 months to find the mistake. She said that she got the insurance denial on April 26th. That was still almost 2 and a half months ago. Her excuse was that she has over 2500 clients to keep track of. Morale of the story is that they have too many clients to handle. And it's your fault that the billing is messed up.

I loved the through examination I received from Doctor Meyer. He was very professional and explained everything very well. He created a treatment plan that I understand and I look forward to my next visit. Molly who took my X-rays was very kind and friendly. She was very comforting as visiting the dentist has always made me feel anxious. Also, the ladies At the front desk were welcoming and friendly. Thank you for the great experience!
