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.

Desperately needed extraction. Doctor Najam was wonderful about explaining current and future needs. Worked with me. Very gentle. Extraction piece of cake. It's as if nothing happened. Next morning now and feels perfectly normal. Amazing what a great dentist can do! Thank you!

Great dental practice now that the prior staffing issues have settled down. Dr. Najem is wonderful, the front office is very efficient and friendly, and the hygienists are topnotch. We're almost left this practice when Dr. Felt retired, but we're very happy with all aspects of this office now.

Requested an appointment for a new patient twice in the past two weeks. They never bothered to respond or return my call or email. I'll take my business elsewhere because obviously they don't want it. Would give them zero stars is possible!

Was there at my appointment time and 20 minutes later was still not seen, no explanations, apologies. Very disappointed. Now, due to lack of time I left unseen. Not sure if I'll go back or not.......

A crown popped off just before a flight to California. Mondavi Dental responded immediately. Upon return they fit me into the schedule and Dr. Najem expertly reattached the crown. I couldn't be happier with my experiences at Mondavi Dental.

Despite the fact that I have been a career hygienist, I am petrified of having dental work done to me. Dr. Najem and his assistant were professional and kind got me through a long a difficult procedure with care and expertise. I'm retiring soon but will continue to come back to this office for my dental care.

I've been to quite a few dentists before and this has been by far my best experience. It all starts at the front desk, she's amazing! The hygienists and the doctor himself, also amazing! They are simply just an amazing crew.

When Dr. Felt and his crew were in charge, it was a great dentist. Since he left everything has gone downhill. I spent an entire week calling because I broke a tooth and got an answering machine each time. I finally got in to get a temporary crown put on and they told me to call if it fell off and they would put it back on. I had the misfortune to have it fall off on a Friday. I have called and left 4 messages on the emergency number which goes straight to voicemail and 3 days later, no call back. Meanwhile I have excruciating nerve pain in the ground off tooth. I called the main number and left three messages. SAVE YOURSELF - go somewhere else. I am seeking a new dentist as fast as I can.

I want to thank Nancy, hygienist, for her kind and professional manner. Her many years of experience was obvious as she answered my questions. I will ask for her by name next time! Dr. Omeler had big shoes to fill after Dr. Felt's retirement! I am happy to say she has filled his shoes nicely. I've had three appointments with her since she joined and I have never felt rush. She is patient and kind - very important for me as a scaredy-cat with lots of questions!
