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.

My family has gone to Dr. Goodwin for many years. He is kind and gentle, and his staff is friendly. They helped my husband with a fear of dentists and many cavities. My son has had several teeth pulled there and still both my kids enjoy going. They make you feel like family!

I highly recommend this dental practice. I no longer dread going to the dentist! Dr. Goodwin is so gentle and concerned for the comfort of the patient while being very knowledgeable. Sara, the hygienist, is very efficient. and pleasant. I like having the same hygienist every time as I know she knows my teeth well and has gotten to know me. It's great going to a place where you are not just a number. All are so welcoming.

I have been a patient of Dr. Goodwin for several years. I lost a filling to a ju-jy fruit candy. I saw Dr. Goodwin and he treated me kindly and professionally. The office was so clean it sparkled, and I complimented him and his staff. Dr. Goodwin replaced my filling expertly and I felt comfortable about the procedure. I am glad to have this great office in Griswold for my dental needs.

I have been going to this office for several years. Dr. Goodwin inherited me as a "problem-child" patient who required extensive repair work as a result of years of neglect. I have had numerous cavities, root canals, extractions and crowns done over the years to restore my teeth. Needless to say, I am well qualified to write this review. Dr. Goodwin is an all around great guy who really cares and is so skilled that you hardly know he is working on your teeth. He always goes above and beyond for his patients. I have even had special emergency sessions scheduled on multiple occasions. He and his staff are always friendly and professional beyond my expectations. Beyond all this, they always work with me to get the maximum amount of work done in the most cost-effective manner allowable by my insurance plan. I would give this office a 50 star review if it was an option!

I neglected going to the dentist for a few years because of some uncomfortable visits to other dentists. I read reviews and found Dr. Goodwin. The whole office is great! ! Dr Goodwin and dental hygienist, Denise, were professional and kind worked to get me back on track again. When I needed a crown it was completed in a day! The technology Dr Goodwin uses is amazing! I moved out of state but I am so comfortable with Dr Goodwin and Denise that I don't hesitate to make the drive to Griswold to get the excellent care I get there.

Used to be best dentist on earth until he sold out to mondovi dental. Went to an appointment and he never came into the room to even look in my mouth. His political officer assistant took and x ray, he supposedly looked at it in his office and told her to tell me to have the tooth pulled. Never even saw the guy. Been going to him for ten years. Not anymore. Too bad. Mondovi is an investment company out of Ohio in the process of taking over the practices of local dentist for fun and profit.
