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.

It was my first experience at this North location and it will be my last. The patient experience is lacking and my exam appointment was chaotic: employee was struggling to solve problems on computer software, single imaging x-ray tool was very uncomfortable in the mouth with lots of stabbing, and doctor sent me off with my mouth full of blood - I had to ask for the rinse tool. Receptionist was kind, she did indicate that there are many new people in training and it definitely shows. I really hope they make improvements for future new patients.

I have been going to Midwest Dental for a fair number of years now. I have often thought about finding another dentist but just never followed through. Today I saw a new hygienist (for me). Sky (sp?). She was caring, efficient, thorough, gave good/clear explanations, practically painless. Probably the best hygienist I've ever seen. And, with my mouth full of hardware, I've seen quite a few. And I'm also impressed with the new dentist (didn't remember the name) but she was also thorough, gave excellent explanations and was very professional and pleasant! Keep them both and you'll keep me as a patient. All in all a very good visit to the dentist!

I have gone here for several years and I can count on both hands how many different doctors I have had. My service was up and down and recently I had the final straw with the inconsistencies with getting a doctor and having to reschedule my appointment 2x now! Sorry, I will be going else where.

X-rays, cleaning and exam were done very professionally and I was very satisfied with the results. The only annoyance was in scheduling. My original appointment somehow vanished from the computer system and I never got a call or email to reschedule. But other than that, the quality of service and care is very good.

Very nice Hygienists but they can't seem to keep a Dr. Which is frustrating when you see a new one what seems like every time you go. Receptionist is a little rude as well. Far from what they use to be IMO...after 15 years I am looking for a new place for my dental care.

The staff here are always patient, attentive and extremely competent. I have been at this practice now for years, through several changes of dentists. Every one has been a pleasure with whom to work.

I used to have a hygenist that is no longer at Midwest and the replacement is not as thorough. She missed the far back wisdom teeth and never polished there. She even forgot to floss some areas. Then the new dentist came in. He was harsh and arrogant. He never made eye contact at the introduction and just looked down. When you meet someone new you look them in the eyes. I felt like a number he had to get through rather than a patient.

they didn't have a lot of wait time unlike some other dentist offices I've been to

The wait was an hour past my scheduled appointment time. They also left a hole in my tooth that they forgot to fill.

Enjoyed very personable and friendly professional experience. Especially liked very low wait time, very good communication/explanation and getting me scheduled in for appointments super fast...the very next week. Thank you!

The staff is wonderful and friendly. More importantly, they all care and do a great job. Dr Machi is the best dentist I have ever been too. He cares about doing the job right the first time. No rushing through patients and explains everything in detail. His dental assistant is great too..

The whole staff at Midwest Dental Oshkosh North is fantastic. I have had regular cleanings at this office and also some more major dental work. From the front desk, to billing, hygienists, and the couple of Doctors I have had the pleasure of dealing with--- everyone has been wonderful. I have also found my favorite hygienist at this location--- Amy Bielak has always answered all my questions (even if I thought some might sound silly) and has also been so patient when I have been worried about a procedure. Thank you Amy and all the staff at Oshkosh North for taking such good care of me and my teeth.

Everyone is very helpful and Dr. Machi did a great job on my difficult crown replacement that had very little tooth left above the gum line.

I will ONLY go to Midwest dental. The staff is always friendly and DR. JOHN MACHI is by far one of the best dentists that I have seen. I have been seeing him for about a year now and just recently I had a dental emergency, I called and even though it was a Friday, and they were completely booked, they got me in right away. It is things like this that shows a person that they care.

New to town and I sure got lucky with this practice. From the friendly front desk staff, to my hygienist, who was super personable, thorough and spot on, i.e., the doc agreed with everything she said, to my dentist who took his time to carefully explain things to me very understandably, I could not have had a better experience. If you're looking for a new dental practice in Oshkosh you need not look further.

Wonderful staff and dentist, again! The first dentist I haven't passed out when he gives the numbing shots! I've been going here for over a year now and won't change!!
