Introducing “Molar Bear King” of the week!

This trooper from out of town had been having issues with his front teeth for years! Time and again the lovely dentists of Yarn filled his teeth, until one day he wanted a change, he wanted more!

He decided to be the change he wanted to see!
And so he sought out a Molar Bear to help. We were happy to assist, and turned this frown upside down with some Crowns and composite bonding to restore that Majestic magnificence!

He cannot stop smiling now, what a joy!

Has your smile knocked you off your thrown? No Problem! We can help.

That time again Molar Bears, where we splash your feed with some drops of wisdom - coz sometimes we try to make it rain 👀

Sometimes a disturbance in the development of a Molar Bear causes their "tummy" (tooth body) to grow too big, at the expense of their "legs" (aka the roots) - and is identified as a phenomenon known as Taurodontism - and is named this as it resembles a bulls tooth!! 🦬🦬

It is best picked up on routine dental Xrays, and doesn't usually present symptomatically. Characteristically, it can be identified on an x-ray by noting an enlarged pulp/nerve chamber and shortened roots but gives an illusion of an elongated tooth!

Although it is a rare anomaly, it most commonly occurs in permanent molar teeth, but can affect adult and baby teeth!
The exact cause is relatively unknown, but it does have a genetic component, commonly caused by hormonal and genetic mutations during tooth development, and is associated with anomalies in enamel and other hard tissue formations, as well as certain syndromes - like Downs or Mohr Syndrome.

From a dentists perspective, we just have to give it special consideration and adapt our approach if the tooth requires a root canal, extraction or if it is to be part of a tooth replacement prosthesis 😇😇

Yello(w) Coffee Tanners!! (Get it😝)

The Molar Bear 🦷 has been watching ya’ll slurping those coffee freezo’s, mochachino’s, frappachino’s, bubble ice teas and all those other yummy summer drinks!

Just an FYI - extra cream won’t reduce the tooth tan! Summer colors are not stained teeth 👀👀

Bottom line: Forecast suggests SARS will be monitoring your coffee budget soon (after their travel pass announcement) so let’s keep that caffeine consumption limited and BRUSH YOUR PEARLS.

Mini Makeover Loading 😁😁

Our patient may not have as many titles as Charles III (ahem) BUT that smile is Royalty 👑🆒

We were tempted to put the Cullinan diamond in but Charles hasn’t been responding to our DM’s 😋😎jokes aside- it brings us great pleasure to see our patients leave our rooms renewed and full of confidence.

Are you feeling molar bear shy? Why not book a consultation and see how we can renew that summer smile!

Second in the series!!

This super scary predator literally has a dental conveyor belt system!

• A shark loses a tooth every time it has a meal.
• Sharks grow teeth in rows.
• Sharks do not “regrow” teeth, but rather a tooth behind the tooth lost moves forward and takes its place.
• Sharks teeth are covered in fluoride, which means they never get cavities! Lucky 🐠

Additionally “Shark teeth” is a term used for our lil’ Molar Bears whose permanent teeth start to come in before their baby teeth have come out!

Where our lil’ Molar Bears at?!

For the next 4 weeks- we will be sharing fun facts on animal molars! AND a cool story for kids (it starts with “once upon a time” so please parents- these are not facts!)

Our first drop is Gummy the Crocodile! This amazing (and terrifying animal) has a very cool dental routine 🦷

• Crocodiles don’t brush their teeth! The birds pick the bits of food and debris out of their teeth when their mouths are open (sounds like brushing to me 👀
• When a crocs teeth are old or decaying, crocs grow new teeth to replace the old!!
• A croc can go through almost 6000 teeth in its life time!

AND last but not least:

What do you call a dentist whose patient is a crocodile?

_CRAZY_😎

I bet Nelson Mandela Foundation weren’t talking about loadshedding when they said:

“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are”.

All jokes aside- there is real “wisdom” (ahem) in this quote.
