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 staff at Midwest Dental are very attentive, personal, and thorough to your dental needs. They explain procedures and cost options clearly ahead of time so you know what to expect. The dental work has been excellent. I highly recommend their services.

Appointment was on time. The dental hygienist was very good, She was considerate of causing discomfort and checked often to see that the treatment was ok. Dr. Jong is always pleasant and competent.

If I could give them a O I would! You would have to pay me to go back to this place. First of all, I went here because I had moved to a new town, but I have always regularly seen a dentist every six months for X-rays and cleaning. Upon examination and X-rays, I was told that I had gum disease and would need surgery and I also had a cavity. I was suspicious and questioned that and said I would do some intense home therapy and come back in six months. He told me I could not fix it. They made me sign a denial of surgery form. Then, a month later I get a bill for everything, even though I had given them my insurance information. When I called them, they said they didn't have anything. A month later they still couldn't figure it out so I had to get the insurance information for a third time. Finally, the insurance came through but because it was late the insurance company charged an extra $50 which they made me pay for. Bottom line: I went back to my original dentist a half hour away to find out I have NO GUM DISEASE AND NO CAVITIES.

Absolutely amazing! Dr. Jong and Dr. Gillingham were wonderful and so caring. Dr. Jong responded to my dental emergency call very quickly and worked with the office staff to get me in as quickly as possible. Their professional manners were so warming and thoughtful. They truly care about their patients. The dental assistant was great.

The new female dentist is amazing. So very nice and tells you everything she is going to do before she puts instruments or numbing gel or anything into your mouth! She's straightforward and great at explaining.

Staff was so kind, not judgy, and really listened to me and my concerns. They also have a really good discount for new patients on their website, which allowed me to seek care without insurance. 10/10 recommend
