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 entire staff are wonderful with not only myself during our visits, but even more amazing with my toddler and teenager. My toddler had such an amazing experience that I believe he will enjoy going to the dentist thanks to them.

Absolutely the worst tooth extraction experience! With orthodontic background I've had 9 teeth pulled in the past. Soon after Harris began, I begged him to stop (he kept losing his grip [understandable]; he used my other teeth AND LIP as fulcrum and he angled the tooth toward my ear THREE times and I yelled in pain THREE times [it felt like he broke the bone that makes up the roof of my mouth) so I very strongly had lost faith in him and begged him to stop and he soothed me saying we 'were almost done.' Then, a while later he said, "okay! One root out; two to go.' I couldn't believe it. At the end, while the numbing injections should have still been in full force, the roof of my mouth hurt pretty bad, which scared me since I'd never experienced that before, he said Tylenol should be all I needed. Oh! And I was left with a hole in my sinus! That happens but all he did was place a collagen plug & some advice. My regular dentist said he should've put a few stitches. Now 5 days later and air is whistling through & xray shows a sinus infection. I'm also in quite a bit of pain & have missed several days of work. I will NEVER go back k & I'd never refer to him.

Dr Harris is the best! Sydney with the breads is a keeper and the lovely nice young lady manning the phone and I think is the office manager is outstanding. The only thing I would change is on my end with my insurance so I can spend more time in the chair getting my smile back! You all are wonderful people!
