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.

Appointment was told one date then when close to date it changed and it wasn't even for what I made the appointment for. They couldn't even do what I wanted cause dentist was leaving unless I wanted to pay out of pocket. Other then that the lady that cleaned my teeth was great and she did a great job.

Dr. Chase is very detailed oriented and he takes a lot of pride in his work. He also makes it very evident to his patients that their satisfaction is of the utmost importance to him. Also all of the staff are very nice and accommodating and helpful.

The dentist was so good with my 6 year old. She didn't even realize she received 2 shots of novocaine! He referred to it as Elsa liquid to freeze her tooth. What an awesome dentist to make it such a positive experience for her! Not all dentists take the time or use creativity to help ease children's anxiety! Thank you.

I called early in Monday morning stating I had horrible tooth ache that started the day before(Sunday) Linda was very kind and scheduled me to be seen in the afternoon. I got there and filled out my paperwork since I hadn't been here before but my mom recommended this place. They took ex rays found out I need 2 out and the Dr Chase was very nice to me and recommended I get both pulled. So I did and feel so much better. I appreciate that they fit me in and all staff were very kind to me !

I had a very good experience. The dentist and the assistant were very nice. Process went smoothly and were very thorough. The only reason for no 5 star is, I had a coupon for a free teeth whitening kit and they were completely out of them. They did get one in and call and tell me which I have to get at a later date. Maybe if I could just do 4.5 I would do that instead. Overall it's a good place to go
