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 receptionist called me by name when I walked in which eased my anxiety. Dr Buchanan and the staff were efficient and took care to listen to my concerns when I unexpectedly needed to have a tooth extracted on my first visit. As stated, it did not take more than 5 minutes and my discomfort was kept to a minimum. The staff all called me by my name and were focused on me as the patient and not the other patients when treating me. As someone who avoids the dentist, I highly recommend Midwest Dental. Welcome to West Bend Dr Buchanan!

I was impressed with the new dental hygienist. He reminds you of the right way to brush and explains things well. Dr Buchanan also was very nice.

Dr. Buchanan is extremely thorough. I had old fillings that were poorly done by an old dentist, but Dr. Buchanan fixed them right up and now my teeth have never felt better!

I love Midwest Dental. The staff is highly professional and caring. Thanks to all of you, especially Dr. Llorca for seeing me on such short notice. I appreciate all the wonderful work you have done on my teeth over the last few months, especially the root canal you performed yesterday.....I'm feeling so much better. I would totally refer a friend!!

I have been to many dentists in my 79 years. Without explanation, this one is most caring about how you are and if you're doing ok and really meaning it. They treat you like family.

Midwest Dental provides excellent professional dental care delivered by friendly caring and very knowledgeable dental professionals. I had a difficult procedure done with almost no discomfort. Great job + great people = great teeth!

I strongly recommend the West Bend location of Midwest Dental. Even if you have some trepidation about going to the Dentist, I'd say give them a try, they are truly wonderful. Dr. Llorca and staff care for their patients. The Dental Hygienist is also very thorough, careful, and personable. Honestly they are one of the best offices I've been too.
