#Funfactfriday: Thousands of years ago people used to believe tooth pain was caused by tooth worms. They were responsible for holes in your teeth and pain in your teeth was from them moving. Now we know its just from some sour gummy worms!

thank you Dr Avi Matha, and staff. Professional, kind, considerate and reasonably priced. I first went to a huge corporate dentist office. They were hurrying me from point A to B. I felt like a number, and then the hustle, paying for the procedure. Pages and pages of numbers. Extremely disappointing .
This grandmother and 3rd generation veteran deserves better. I work for a mainstream Health Care System, and like how clean everything is, and the protocols in place for COVID-19. I am so grateful for Tamarack Hills Family Dentistry.
One more point, I got more than 1 tooth pulled. Never felt a thing!!! Amazing dentist skills from Dr Ava Matha. I'll keep coming back and would recommend to family and friends.

#Thanksgiving is tomorrow! Make sure your #teeth are ready for all the sugary #treats and rich #foods. The most effective way to protect your teeth would be to #brush your teeth about an hour before you eat and drink.

Myth: Chewing sugar-free #gum is just as good as #brushing.
Fact: Gum encourages #saliva production, which helps to wash away enamel-eroding acids from foods, drinks, and even stomach acid in the case of issues like acid reflux. But chewing gum still doesn't replace #brushing and #flossing when it comes to removing #plaque from all the surfaces of your #teeth. #truththursday #dentalhealth

Myth: Bleeding #gums are normal.

Myth: Chewing #gum works like #brushing.
Fact: Chewing gum is not a replacement for brushing your #teeth. Some chewing gums can promote cleaner teeth and better #breath. However, while some chewing gums serve as aids to #oralhealth, they still don’t reach the level of being able to replace brushing your teeth. #truthfriday #dentalhealth

A #saltwater mouth #rinse is useful for several different reasons. One of those reasons is that rinsing your #mouth with salt water can help reduce #dental bacteria.

When do #teeth begin to form? Well, it just so happens that teeth start the #growing process even before you’re #born. Although teeth begin to develop while in the #womb, they’re not visible until 6 to 12 months after #birth. #truththursday #oralhealth
Do you have #pain after cleaning your #teeth? Pain from #brushing and #flossing may be a sign that there is something wrong with your #oralhealth or with your brushing habits. Some reasons for the pain are #toothsensitivity, #gingivitis and using the wrong #toothbrush. If you feel continual pain, schedule an appointment with us! #wellnesswednesday #dentalhealth
Make sure you are properly #brushing your #teeth. Doing a poor job of brushing your teeth is almost as bad as not brushing at all. Take your time, moving the #toothbrush in gentle, circular motions to remove plaque. Unremoved #plaque can harden, leading to tartar buildup and gingivitis. #tiptuesday #dentalhealth
#ReminderMonday: Remember to change out your #toothbrush every 3 months to help keep your #mouth fresh and healthy! Toothbrush bristles wear out fast, and when this happens, the brush becomes ineffective. #dentalhealth

Thinking about #skipping brushing your #teeth before going to bed? You might want to rethink that. If you miss just one time #brushing your teeth, the interaction between the food particles and bacteria will likely create a bad taste and a #bad smell in your #mouth. #truththursday #dentalhealth
If you feel you're worried about having #badbreath, incorporate a mouth rinse to help clean your #teeth of these germs during the day. Rinsing with an antibacterial #mouthwash can get into the crevices of your teeth and clean germs off the soft tissue that you may not always #brush. Doing this helps you prevent #bacteria from ruining your breath and spreading to your teeth and #gumline, where it can cause cavities and gingivitis. #wellnesswednesday #oralhealth
Want to make #brushing your #teeth more exciting each day? Trying a different flavor of #toothpaste can be the shake-up that you're looking for! Do some soul searching to find a flavor that speaks to you. #tiptuesdaty #dentalhalth
#ReminderMonday: Don't neglect your #tongue! Forgetting to #brush your tongue can lead to unpleasant mouth odors, #plaque build-up and other oral health problems. #oralhealth
Myth: If you have #sensitiveteeth, it means you have worn away too much of the #enamel on your #teeth.
Fact: Sensitivity is a key symptom of the loss of enamel, the hard protective layer on the outside of your teeth. But it can be caused by other factors as well, such as #gumrecession.
If you're dealing with teeth sensitivity, schedule an appointment with us. #truththursday #dentalhealth
Having a wiggly, #loosetooth as a #child is a fun and exciting moment! As an #adult, not so much. #Tooth mobility is typically a red flag for a #dental problem, which may require immediate attention.

Myth: Sugar-free #sodas are better for your teeth.
Fact: Just because soda is #sugarfree, it doesn't mean it's harmless to your #teeth. Sugar surely contributes to tooth decay and #cavities, but sugar isn't the only thing. Even sugar-free sodas contain acids and carbohydrates combined with bacteria and saliva to result in #plaque buildup. #truththursday #dentalhealth

#ReminderMonday: Remember to eat a #healthydiet! Your diet plays an important role in your #dentalhealth. Make sure you are eating foods rich in antioxidants and nutrients, like vitamin C. Doing this can help protect your tissues and #gums and prevent bacterial infections. #oralhealth
#FunFactFriday: Humans eat a #diet of both #meat and #vegetables. Because of that, our mouths have evolved to include four different types of #teeth: incisors, premolars, molars and canine teeth. Some teeth help chew or grind #food, others for cutting or mashing up foods, and still others for tearing apart tough foods, like meat. #dentalhealth
Myth: Sugar causes #cavities.
Truth: While #sugar does contribute to the formation of cavities, it’s not the sugar itself that causes the problem. Sticky food, like starches, attracts #bacteria to thrive on and around #teeth. These bacteria produce an acid compound that promotes tooth decay. #truththursday #dentalhealth
Taking care of your #teeth is very important. But you just can't help it, sometimes you have #sweettooth. Instead of eating sugary #candy, grab fruit, chia pudding or greek yogurt to help curb that craving! #wellnesswednesday #teethhealth

Thinking it's not a big deal that your #mouth gets a little #dry at night? Don't completely write off your symptoms and discomfort. What may seem like a little problem can actually have pretty big consequences. When your mouth is dry at #night, it means that it isn't producing enough #saliva. This can lead to bacterial growth, along with an increased chance of #cavities, difficulty swallowing and even #infection. #wellnesswednesday #drymouth #dentalhealth

Did you know that #saliva plays an important role in your #oralhealth? Saliva help #lubricate and #cleanse your mouth of food particles and bacteria. Saliva also has digestive enzymes that start the #digestive process. Without adequate saliva flow, chewing, speaking and swallowing can be difficult. #wellnesswednesday #dentalhealth
Getting #food stuck in your #teeth can be annoying. The top 3 foods that get stuck in teeth are #seeds, #popcorn and potato #chips. Try to get that stubborn food out by swishing #water around your #mouth to help loosen up food particles. #tiptuesday #dentalhealth
Myth: #Whiteteeth are #healthy teeth.
Truth: Whiter teeth are not always healthier #teeth. Teeth begin white, and over time, they can become discolored through staining or #damage. Whitening teeth may leave the underlying cause of #discoloration unaddressed. If your teeth are losing their #luster, give us a call at (651) 410-1246 to possibly find out why. #truththursday #dentalhealth
Try to avoid #snacking! More saliva is produced during a full meal than a snack. The more #saliva that is produced, the more it will be able to fight the enzymes and acids that can attack your #teeth. If you do need a little bite in between #meals, consider a #healthysnack like some fruit. #wellnesswednesday #oralhealth
#Children should start #flossing when enough of their #teeth have grown next to each other. Bacteria can settle between their teeth, which may lead to early #toothdecay and inflamed #gums. Remember to gently floss between their teeth, especially when teaching them how important flossing is. #tiptuesday #oralhealth
It’s finally spring! #minnesota #woodbury #dentalimplants #tamrackhills #familydentistry
