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.

Needed to be seen quickly after some major jaw surgery. They got me right in & addressed my tooth pain. I highly recommend Medwest Dental of Strum. Everyone from Danielle at the front desk to the chairside assitant and Dr Underwood took extra care to be sure my pain was taken care of!

Had a dental emergency. I gave them a date that worked for me, but they did not have an opening so scheduled a less convenient date. Got a call later in the day to that my date became available...so am a very happy camper!!

Both Christine and I were very satisfied with our care. The staff was pleasant, kind, friendly, professional, and sensitive to our needs. Dr. Underwood explain things well as he performed the exam and procedures needed. He also had a good sense of humor. The technicians assisting with X-rays and cleaning of our teeth were excellent. They were efficient, thorough and professional. The receptionist was very helpful with scheduling and insurance details. We are thankful to all the staff. God continue to bless your good work!
