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 front receptionist was very warm and inviting; made me feel welcome and trusting that I would be treated with respect. My hygienist was good at what she did but talked down to me as if I could not comprehend what she was explaining about my gum and loose of bone as well as that I was unable to pay for dental implants . Five stars for service but bedside manner is poor.

Dr. Bourque and his amazing staff have been very helpful, responsive and knowledgeable. I thoroughly recommend their Pittsford NY dental practice.

I was a patient of Dr. Morono for years. Great staff & service. The most recent experience today with the updated staff was professional, friendly, knowledgeable & pleasant. Thanks to the new crew!

Are you kidding me! Dr Morono was great but these new dentists that change every week. I made an appointment because of terrible pain. When I got there, no one in the office, note on the door "sorry if you need help go to the hospital ". Really, you can't even give me a call. If I could give you minus stars I would, I'll spread the word!

Dr Morono was great. Unfortunately I will never go back to Dr Haller. She pulled my daughters tooth without my permission, nor was I in the room. I was told she was getting an xray. After following up with another dentist, the tooth never needed to be pulled, she only had a canker sore. The whole experience was awful.

I had Dr Morono for many wonderful years, and I am excited for him that he was able to retire. He is great dentist. Dr Haller has stepped up to take control of the practice and is doing a great job. Dr Haller just replaced an old filling of mine and did a fantastic job. Looking forward to many years ahead of us.

Dr. Morono is the best. We are lucky to have found him. Strongly recommended. We continue to see him even though our dental insurance has changed and he is no longer in-network.

Dr. Morono took the time on the Friday after Thanksgiving in 2015 to open his office to provide emergency treatment for my wife while our dentist was out of town. He was friendly, highly professional and extremely supportive as he diagnosed my wife's abcessed tooth, after which he recommended our next course of action and offered to telephone a friend who is an oral surgeon. We accepted his offer and are very grateful for his intervention and the two prescriptions he wrote to deal with her extreme pain. He even called us again to inquire about the outcome of our visit to the oral surgeon. We are proud to recommend him to anyone in need of dental services.
