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've been going to Midwest Dental for about 4 years now and I couldn't be happier! Staff is always professional and courteous and Dr Lang is great at what she does. I have never in my life said this but I actually look forward to my dental visits!

This place is trash. Dr. Lang is one of the worst dentist's I have visited. I was told if I paid my bill I would be seen and they took my money and denied to see me. Threaten me all the time to send bills to collections but don't send them to me. Stay far away from Midwest Dental.

The entire team is excellent and thorough. They did a full cancer screening along with my cleaning. The hygienist was careful; I had no discomfort during my cleaning or exam.

I had dental work done and normally I'm always terrified. The dentist Dr. Charging and hygienist Lynn were awesome. They explained every step of the way, reassured me and made me feel calm. A good dental hygienist has always been an important part of my choice of dentist. I am 69 and I think I found both of them! I was very impressed with their skills. Anita Lavin

I didn't have a current dentist and was too afraid to go because past dentist visits at other places have always caused me pain and left me dreaming the next appointment. Recently I had tooth pain that I NEEDED to have taken care of. I went for an emergency appt at midwest, and was given options for how I wanted to proceed with a bad tooth. I went in for an extraction that I was SCARED TO DEATH of. But I never once felt any pain, no discomfort, and the staff as well as dentist were all super friendly and professional. Will definitely continue using midwest in the future and for my family!

I enjoy going to Midwest. Dr Lang and Dr Wood are excellent. Madi and Bobbi are the best. I used to hate going to the dentist but now I look forward to our visits and conversations. They are always very upbeat and positive.

Charging $10 per visit COVID fee for PPE, as if they didn't have to wear masks before. Not covered by insurance any more.

I have never enjoyed going to the dentist my entire life, because of the lack of empathy and over 50 years of different dentists. Doctor Jenna Lang is the best dentist I have ever gone to and haven't been scared to go get treatment for my teeth because of her personality, her professional, yet talkative care, and anytime I started feeling even a little bit of pain, she numbs my mouth more so I don't feel anything. The camaraderie with the rest of the staff for dr. Lang are amazing. It's actually enjoyable to go to the dentist because Skylar and Dr. Lang are funny, witty, and banter back and forth while working on my teeth and it gets me laughing to the point where I I am distracted by their conversations and that helps me forget that I'm getting my teeth drilled or pulled Etc. I would highly recommend Dr. Jenna Lang for anybody who has Dental anxiety... I had it big time prior to seeing her and now I actually dot-dot. I know it sounds crazy dot-dot-dot but I actually enjoy going to the dentist because of how professional they are, how much empathy they have for their patience, they always take the time to answer all my questions, when even having to sometimes repeat things to me, and their hilarious banter back and forth while working on my teeth is very enjoyable. I would also like to include Bobbi in this review because she does the cleaning on my teeth and she is absolutely fantastic, top notch and has the best sense of humor also wouldn't comes to treating my teeth and being able to talk to me about whatever to keep my mind off of what's going on with what she's doing to my teeth. I would also like to commend the reception staff, because they are so personal, so friendly, patient, kind , and they also do a fantastic job, and are extremely patient when I've had to ask them to review my bills. The entire staff at Midwest Dental in Wausau are absolutely the top notch dentist I have ever had! I would highly recommend going to this office in Wausau. It is off of Stuart Avenue and since the covid-19 broke out, they've taken extreme, extreme care in terms of patience only one in the waiting room , and maybe one of the only other patient... So nothing can be transferred and they are on top of constantly disinfecting and cleaning everything. If there was a 10 star rating I would give dr. Jenna Lang and all of her staff a 10 SEER rating and I highly recommend giving them a call if you need a dentist in the area and don't know where to go, or are not happy with your current dentist, because these people are unbelievably the best I have had in over 50 years.

I had an on call visit today, and wow was i impressed, DR, Wood and his assistant Maddie was super, even being the 4th of July they were very upbeat, friendly, 2 very amazing people I got to meet today and did an amazing job pulling my tooth. Gave me all my options, explained everything very well. I will refer anyone I know to them for great dental work.
