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.

I'd rather not comment on my recent experience at Midwest Dental. I was very disappointed in the Cost of my visit, considering what was done. I have noticed that Prices have gone up considerably. I don't have insurance to cover my dental needs. I don't think I will be returning as a Longtime Customer.

Dr. Geiger and his staff have always been amazing. I have been seeing him since I was 12 years old. I have never been disappointed in over 30 years of service with him. I can't recommend or thank him enough.

I haven't been to a dentist in over 5 years due to being in college, traveling in different countries, and then being pregnant. And with being pregnant with my second child my molar started to decay and a part of it fell out. I wasn't sure what to do but called Midwest Dental for an appointment to get it checked out. They got me in right away about a week later after I called and made an appointment for my husband right away as well. We have never been to Midwest Dental before but our insurance is covered through here. When I got there they already had mailed me my paperwork to fill out which it made it easy for them and me. Once they checked everything out they took care of my decaying tooth right away by filling it in for me the day of. I was so surprised they were able to do it the day of but knew that if I would have waited any longer it would go down to the root and I would need a root canal. They took care of my problem of my tooth very seriously and made sure to take care of it right away. The dentist and the assistant were great and very helpful and kind. So far I haven't had any problems with that tooth and it's been over a month now. I had a great experience and once I have my baby, I will definitely be coming back again for a cleaning!
