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 finally went to the dentist after a few years, so my cleaning was a little more involved than regular. The staff was very thorough and explained everything to me, which I've never had before. They also made the appointment process easy. They can text and email and those messages can be exported to my calendar, which I need or I'll forget.

The staff is amazing and always make you feel so comfortable and welcome. Tracy the hygienist is amazing she makes everything go so smoothly. The new dentist are great he explained everything. But I really think they need mirrors on the ceilings so the patient could watch them if they wanted.

Went in for my first visit. Less than 10 minutes after I sit down they came and took me back. Normal stuff X-rays and listened to my concerns. They were very nice, and listened closely to what I had to say. They cleaned my teeth and checked my teeth over. I go back next month to get some repair done and I'm not worried in the least, I feel very confident they will do a good job.

Very pleasant atmosphere that helps ease the usual anxiety associated with going to the dentist. Had two extractions done so far and each time was painless and quick. Excellent!

Hubby had a appointment to get some work done on his teeth and the staff took good care of him while he was in their care. It was a great environment and staff and experience nothing bad to say about this place at all!
