Wisdom teeth don’t always hurt, but that doesn’t mean they’re harmless or healthy and should be forgotten.
At Pine Ridge Dental in Zimmerman, MN, we use panoramic X-rays and CBCT scans to determine the ideal time for wisdom teeth removal. Removing them early and before roots fully form so they are smaller can mean easier treatment, faster healing, and fewer complications.
Not sure if yours need to come out? We’re happy to help you decide.

🦷✨ Happy Dental Hygienist Appreciation Week! ✨🦷

Today (and honestly every day), we’re celebrating Hannah!

If you’ve ever been in her chair, you know that she’s the perfect mix of gentle, thorough, efficient, and incredibly thoughtful. She works hard, she’s conscientious about every detail, and her heart truly is to help people.

Hannah doesn’t just clean teeth - she educates, encourages, reassures, and makes patients feel genuinely cared for. She’s efficient and effective while still taking the time to connect. That’s a rare gift.

Our entire team loves her energy, her work ethic, and the way she shows up for our patients and for us. We are so lucky she’s part of our team.

Today and always, we recognize you, Hannah. 💙
Thank you for all you do!

Most fresh water is actually ice.
You can find Earth’s fresh water in
lakes, rivers, and streams, but
don’t forget water stored
underground (groundwater) and in
ice sheets and glaciers. Over
68% of Earth’s fresh water is
locked up in ice, and another
30% is groundwater.

Happy Dental Assistant Appreciation Week! 🦷✨

To the incredible dental assistants who keep everything running smoothly - we see you, we appreciate you, and we truly couldn’t do this without you.

You are the calm behind the scenes and the comfort at the chair. You manage our clean rooms and sterile instruments with precision and pride. You anticipate needs before they’re spoken. You help procedures flow efficiently and seamlessly. Because of you, we are able to provide excellent care with confidence and ease.

But beyond the clinical skills, you provide something even more meaningful - comfort. You ease anxiety. You offer reassurance. You give clear home care instructions that truly help our patients succeed. You are often the steady presence that patients remember most.

Your attention to detail, your teamwork, your heart for patient care - it is noticed. Not only this week, but always.

We are so grateful for everything you do - today and always. 💙
