They serve as a barrier against harmful bacteria, preventing them from causing damage that can lead to painful and expensive dental procedures.

What are Wisdom Teeth?

Barotz Dental |
wisdom tooth xray​​​​​​​

Wisdom teeth used to serve a useful purpose, but are now considered vestigial organs. A vestige is a degenerative or imperfectly formed organ or structure having little or no utility, but in the earlier stage of development of a species performed a useful function. The reasons that wisdom teeth are now "outdated" are many. Until quite recently, our diet included mostly very coarse food, as well as impurities such as dirt and sand. This coarseness would abrade teeth so significantly that they would take up less space in the jaw. Permanent teeth were also frequently lost at an early age, which would create more space in the jaw. Because the diet was so coarse and hard to chew, the jaw itself would develop into a larger bone because of this constant workout. All of these factors would create more space for the wisdom teeth when they came in.

Many people consider toothaches to be one of the worst types of pain that you can have, largely because the discomfort you experience often isn’t isolated in just one area. Not only can you feel anything from a dull ache to a sharp pain in your actual tooth, but you can also suffer from a pounding headache, sore and swollen gums, and even earache. People who have toothaches may find themselves unable to enjoy certain foods or drinks, and may even have their ability to talk normally compromised.

Gum Recession Prevention

Barotz Dental | March 18, 2019
Gum Recession Prevention​​​​​​​

Many dental patients are rightfully concerned with potential gum recession. Gum recession is when the margin of the gums begins to pull away and move down the tooth. This exposes more of the tooth structure and leaves your teeth and underlying bone more exposed to possible infection or disease. Additionally, as the gum recedes, it creates pockets that can trap food particles and bacteria. These pockets are also difficult to clean regularly, so the potential to damage your tooth is further increased.

Gum recession is a common side effect of periodontal disease, and one that can have a devastating effect on the health and beauty of your smile. Patients who are suffering from gum recession will find that the margin of gum tissue that surrounds the teeth either erodes or pulls back, which exposes unnatural amounts of tooth. Sometimes the gum recedes so much that the root is also exposed.

Do you look in the mirror and wish that your teeth were brighter and whiter? Do you have stubborn discoloration that won’t improve no matter what products you use or how well you brush? If the answer to either of these questions is yes, you most certainly are not alone. While genetics do play a small part in the color of our teeth, the main factor responsible includes the elements that they are exposed to. From heavily colored foods, to nicotine and medications, our once pearly-whites can absorb color from a variety of places, and over time they can become stained and discolored.

If your teeth aren’t perfectly straight, or don’t meet together properly when you close your jaw, you certainly aren’t alone. Alignment problems such as twisted, crooked or gapped teeth, or under/overbites are common complaints made by people who are embarrassed about the appearance of their teeth. In the past, there was only one solution – a set of orthodontic braces. These metal arches were attached to the teeth and tightened with brackets and wires so that they would move into a more desirable position. Closing gaps between teeth is also beneficial for your dental health as straighter teeth are much easier to clean and less likely to have small areas where bacteria and decay can accumulate.

When finding a dentist, it’s common practice to look for a reputable doctor that is conveniently located close to home or work, or both. When it comes to cleanings, preventative care, and maintenance, this logic makes a lot of sense. However, as a mature adult, dental needs can often be much more complex. Many offices around the country are not equipped to treat these complex dental problems, and consequently they are relegated to referring their patients with advanced needs from one specialist to another. When you think about it, patients with a variety of dental problems could spend weeks driving around town for consultations simply to get the advice they need on their path to long-term oral health. For example, a general dentist might refer a patient to a periodontist for gum disease, a different specialist for a dental implant, and finally a third specialist for root canal therapy. This patient could be left waiting for weeks just to get their foot in the door for a consultation at some of these specialists! Not to mention the inconvenience of driving all over town and constant interference with your daily routine, and this is all before you even proceed with treatment!

Implant Crowns In A Day!

Barotz Dental | January 15, 2015
​​​​​​​
We’re excited to announce that we now have the ability to make crowns for our patients in a single day! I have crafted and placed thousands of dental crowns. I have always done my best to make sure that if you need a crown; it fits perfectly, is extremely durable, gives you a comfortable bite, and is color matched to look and feel like your natural tooth. Crowns are a type of dental restoration that fully covers the portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line. A cap or crown protects the underlying tooth. Crowns can be used to support a weakened or fractured tooth, protect a damaged or decayed tooth, or to cover a discolored tooth.

Concerns over seasonal beverages containing a large amount of sugar have risen this week after a study found that the incidence of tooth decay rises at an alarming rate with sugar consumption. Health experts warn consumers to beware of the sugar content in what is considered to be the “token” drink of fall, the pumpkin spice latte. As coffee shops across the nation announce the arrival of the seasonal beverage, consumers should note the so-called pumpkin latte very rarely contains any pumpkin.

1. Would saving my teeth be better than pulling them?
If your teeth can be saved, why wouldn’t you? There are several great options to replace teeth if you have them  extracted, but they should be a last resort when the tooth  can’t be saved. Nothing is as good as your natural teeth. With Laser Gum Therapy, it is possible to save teeth that  might have had to be pulled. The removal of bacteria allows  the body to heal naturally, so the gum pockets improve and  the teeth become more stable.

1. How can cosmetic dentistry improve my life?
People seek cosmetic dentistry for a variety of reasons. Some people simply want to look younger. Cosmetic dentistry is like a “dental facelift” that can quickly “reverse” the natural aging process of the teeth. For most people, however, cosmetic dentistry is a way to improve the appearance of unattractive teeth that have made them feel self-conscious about their smile their entire lives. Given the fact that 3 out of 4 adults in the United States feel that an unattractive smile can negatively affect you in business, having a great looking smile is more than a luxury – it’s a necessity.

We are always reminded that it is important to go to the dentist regularly, but most people don’t understand the full reasoning behind this. According to the American Dental Association, you should visit your dentist at least twice a year for a cleaning and checkup in order to maintain proper health and hygiene for your teeth. During a cleaning session, your dental hygienist can be much more thorough than you can at home. The dentist has equipment that can reach places that an ordinary toothbrush cannot. The following are a just a few of the many reasons you should visit your dentist regularly.

Toothbrush and Floss​​​​​​​

At this point, you probably already know that flossing should be an essential part of your oral care routine. Not only does it leave your teeth feeling ultra-clean, but flossing also removes most of the microscopic bacteria that gets caught in the gaps between your teeth. It is these nasty, lurking bacteria that cause the plaque that eventually lead to tooth decay, gum disease and a range of other serious health problems. The hardest part about flossing is getting in the habit of doing it - and, even more difficult, is getting your children in the habit of flossing.
