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 was very happy with the care from Midwest Dental. Normally, I have a lot of anxiety at any dental office. The doctor and staff were so professional and caring and it was the first dentist that I went to where my anxiety eased up. I will definitely be back for my future appointments.

The office staff is terrible. They do not listen and are rude and do not help solve problems with the insurance. They just make excuses and continuously bill the wrong insurance. When you call they act like they don't care about helping fix the problem which shows because the problem never gets fixed. Learn how to send the claim to the correct insurance. You have the information. They say it's filed electronically and they can't fix the problem. You can fix it by sending it to the current insurance. You have the info from the back of the card on how to send it, but still keep sending it to the old insurance. Why is the old insurance still in your system when you have my new info? Yet you refuse to figure out why it's not being sent to the correct insurance and send me a bill anyways. Even after calling and getting an excuse I send an email with the card AGAIN and just rudely get told that you got the email on the phone, but act like it's no big deal to help fix the issue. I'll never come here again.

amazing place. kind, friendly and did a great job with all 3 of my kiddos. most recently my daughter at hard piece of her candy and chipped her baby tooth on Christmas Eve. Dr. was able to call me and walk us through what we needed to do and even let us send him pictures of what happened etc and eased our minds. thank you!!!

I tried to make a NEW PATIENT exam at this office. I made that clear to the receptionist I spoke with on the phone what I was looking for. After a long while on the phone taking my info, I was then told that only the exam and x-rays would be done. The cleaning on a different day. I told her to take me out of their data base that I will look elsewhere based on their office policy. A few days later I receive an email thanking me for coming to Midwest Dental for your annual checkup. Sure glad I had my CLEANING AND EXAM elsewhere!

Only 50% of staff are vaccinated and they did not inform the patients. They were masked; however, I would have liked the option of choosing a vaccinated employee.

I have always had a phobia about my mouth and teeth and people working on them ,I get very nervous.. but Dr. farag and his associates made me feel comfortable and that Ease. They were very kind and informative so if you have a problem with what I had I would recommend midwest dental in Paddock Lake. They were very flexible when I needed to come in to Rectify a problem I was having. At the end of the day what more can you really ask for. Thank you so much Dr. Farag and Company for your kindness and your knowledge and your patience. Sincerely WC
