Protect Your Smile from UV Rays

Most people remember to wear sunscreen while outdoors, but many forget to protect their smile. Take care of your lips by applying SPF 15 or higher lip balm when spending time outside, especially during the summer. Be sure to reapply after going for a swim, eating a snack or any other activity that can hinder your protection from the sun. If you see red or white patches on the inside of your mouth, or have a lip or mouth sore that doesn't heal, alert your dentist. To locate a Delta Dental participating dentist, select 'Find a Dentist.'
