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.

Dr. Trentalancia and his entire staff are just amazing! They always fit me in when I need work done. The atmosphere and how you're greeted as you arrive by the the receptionist is warm & welcoming. As far as Dr. Trentalancia goes, you'd be hard press to find a better dentist! His approach for each dental procedure is well explained and always handled with the patient in mind. I "highly" recommend Dr. Trentalancia and Mondovi Dental!!

My family has been patients of this dental practice for many years. Both Dr. Claybaugh and Dr. Trentalancia are highly skilled dentists. I trust their expert opinions regarding dental work needed. Wait time in the office is minimal. Highly recommend.

Dr. Trentalancia has been our family dentist for 25 years. I highly recommend him for both his trained medical skills as well as the attentive and personalized care he shows towards his clients. Dr. T is an excellent choice for patients young and old.

I had my first appointment with Dr. Trentalancia last Monday, and all I have to say is WOW! Dr. Trentalancia is such a sweet, caring, and professional dentist! He fit me in as a new patient with an emergency appointment, and not only did he stay later in the day, but he was so nice and sweet about my dental work! Additionally, his assistant and his administrator were the sweetest women ever - I can't wait to go back!

I have been a patient of Dr. Trentalancia since I was a kid. For the past few years I lived in Atlanta, GA but after moving back to Stamford I knew I had to go back for a cleaning. They fit me into their schedule quickly and was great to see their new offices on Summer Street. As usual the staff was friendly and I got plenty of reminders ensuring I didn't forget my appointment. They even scheduled my next appointment so I don't have to remember to make one in 6 months. If you are going during the COVID-19 pandemic, not a problem. They took all of the right precautions and my technician wore 2 masks and a face shield plus wiped down all services before and after my appointment. Lastly, my technician Anna was friendly and thorough. I can't wait to go back!

I have been a patient in this practice since 1983. They are like family. No matter where I have lived in Fairfield County I am happy to make the drive to Stamford to be cared for by this exceptional group of people. Each member of this team is kind, courteous, professional, honest, highly skilled and yes, even very funny! I look forward to each and every visit. I place very high trust in each of them and together they are the best dental team in Stamford and beyond. Dr. C is the best doctor I have in any discipline. Special mention to Hygienist Amy Manzano for the effortless perfection of how she does her job and for educating her patients on preventative care. This practice is second to none! Highly recommend with 5 stars.

Dr. Clabaugh is the best! I have been seeing him for years and every appointment goes so smoothly. He is very professional and I highly recommend him for any dental needs. Amy did my cleaning at my most recent appointment and she was amazing. Painless and very entertaining experience. She even called the next morning to make sure I was feeling okay! I don't ever write reviews but this team deserves a well earned recognition for years of healthy teeth!

Dr. Claybaugh was recommended to me by my primary care physician and I have been seeing him for more than ten years. I was in again last week for a routine check up and cleaning. Amy did the cleaning and was absolutely fantastic. Such tenseness. I didn't feel a thing. She then passed me on to Dr. Clabaugh, who discovered that one of my old fillings had worn out. In almost no time he repaired the damage and I was able to get on with the rest of my day. All in all a very satisfying experience. That's why I keep going back.

Dr Claybaugh is a courteous and professional individual who I've been dealing with 2003. Amy is exactly the same way and gave me some valuable advice and I have not had any perodontal problems in a very long time thanks to this office. I could not recommend them more!

Great experience with Dr.T and Lis, they are experts in their field. Went in a little nervous at first but I was put at ease immediately by their proffesionalism. Friendly staff and very clean office, never thought a dentist visit would ever actually be pleasurable. Thanks !

Hygienist Amy is the consummate professional. She is thorough, detail-oriented and extraordinarily knowledgeable. Dr. Claybaugh is terrific as well. They both are only concerned with providing the highest level of care to ensure good oral health. The new office is beautiful and the office staff is so easy to work with. If going to the dentist is not your favorite activity, this team makes it as easy and pain-free as possible.

Hygienist Noemi Marzano belittled the job of Dr Clabough in front of me, and then turned her temper into cleaning my mouth: I ran away as fast as I could. I guess it was not the right day, .... and it never will. Bye !.
