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 hygienist Christine is fantastic & I'm a difficult case with extremely sensitive teeth @ gums from recession. She goes out of her way to keep me comfortable & keep me coming for checkups. So it's no surprise that Dr. Statman is the best as professionalness & kind flow from the top down.

Liz Ross continues to be an excellent hygienist -- very thorough with the cleaning and noting any differences since my last visit. She is personable, caring and patient as well as excellent at her job.

I've been a patient of Dr statman's for over 23 years . He is professional. Christine also has been cleaning my teeth for as many years and is professional, answers any and all questions and just has a great personality. I have the greatest respect for Dr statman he has walked me through some difficult Dental issues always giving me detailed information as to what'the issue is and what to expect. He goess above and beyond . The front desk staff is always polite and professional and has worked with me, if for some reason I had to change an appointment and always try to be very accommodating. They all have great personalities and deal with the public beautifully.
