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 went in today to get a few old fillings removed and replaced that had become damaged. Both Dr. Ramirez and the hygienist assistant were awesome! Extremely friendly and personable, and they made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire procedure (It was cool that they were both into video games, so we got to chat about that to help ease my anxieties/worries beforehand). 10/10, definitely recommend this dental office!

I became aware of a dental concern this week, called the office and had an appointment within two days. It turned out to be of little consequence, but the dentist and hygienist were both helpful in explaining what I was dealing with.

Ive actually already recommended a patient, my brother Charles. but the staff there is just genuinly kind and always address any issues I have.. they gave me back my smile, from the start when i had quite literally no insurance and could only pay what i could they took me from having 3 impacted rotting teeth to a full smile again. Ive been going here for over 4 years, I highly highly recommend them.

Dr. Janet was exceptionally quick and also meticulous, while performing the job on a front tooth that I had chipped. He and his assistant worked together with great chemistry during the procedure. The whole experience took no longer than 10 minutes. great experience and totally recommend!

Dr. Janet is extremely professional and easy to work with. He does a great job of explaining his recommendations while not making you feel as though you're being pressured into unnecessary work. I absolutely love the at home whitening I got through the office. The front staff is always so friendly when you walk through the door. I would highly recommend Dr. Janet to anyone I know.

I had the best dental cleaning of my life at Midwest Dental Waunakee. Often, there is a general anxiety during dentist appointments. However, Laura alleviated my anxiety with a friendly personality a high degree of content knowledge. Her tips and pointers were truly a value-add to this appointment. Similarly, Dr. Janet took the time to answer my questions thoughtfully and thoroughly. This was a fantastic experience!
