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 quality and culture of a business or service is set by the leadership - primarily through their own behaviors. Dr. Lucas (Aubry), the dentist at this Midwest Dental office has created an incredible environment for both the patients and the staff. The staff clearly enjoy working with her. My dental experience with her is that she is meticulous and precise in her work and really in everything that she does. She takes care to ensure that she explains the treatment being performed or that is needed in a way that is clear and understandable. She has a delightful chair-side manner. She strives to provide a pain free experience as best that she can. She is empathetic and supportive. She instills trust. I appreciate that she likes to laugh and be joyful. For some reason Midwest Dental has taken her name off the door to the office entrance which caused me to have a little distress and anxiety (some tears too) because I thought she had left the office. Thankfully, at least to me, she had not.

Dr Lukas is amazing. Down to earth and friendly. This was my first time and the staff made me feel like i was part of their family. I will so use this Racine office for now on. Thank you so much for making my visit so enjoyable.
