The history of dentistry dates back at least five thousand years. From the time of ancient Egypt, educated men have worked with the teeth. Teeth are the only guarantee of complete nutrition, yet they easily decay, and can be broken or chipped without much difficulty. Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, a top Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist, specializes in stress-free dentistry and offers here the historical developments of dentistry.
 
In the times gone by, it was not uncommon that the pain of dental treatment was only slightly less than the pain of dental decay. Dentistry was therefore a “necessary evil” that had to be endured. Consider also, that in the Code of Hammurabi (1760 BC), teeth were to be knocked out as a prescribed form of punishment.
 
Even with the advent of anesthetics, most patients expected to undergo an unnervingly numb mouth after painful injections, smelling their teeth as they were drilled. Dr. Maddahi provides gentle dentistry in a spa-like setting, utilizing the most advanced tools and procedures that go together to present a stress-free and often completely pain-free visit to the dentist.
 
The expected physical stress of the dental appointment is improved by a more gentle administration of anesthetic. In those procedures where anesthetics are necessary, ‘The Wand’ is of great benefit to patients. In essence, it administers a computer-controlled dental injection, so the rate of flow of the local anesthetic is monitored and adjusted digitally. This results in the injection being slow and steady and therefore completely comfortable.
 
In most cases the patients of Dr. Maddahi never feel any pain of injection. Patients have normally assumed that the pain of the anesthetic injection is caused by the piercing of the skin and could not be avoided, because of the needle. This is not the case. Usually, it has been found, the pain was actually caused because the anesthetic was pushed into the skin too quickly. The Wand ensures this does not occur.
 
As another advance in dental care, Dr. Maddahi now employs an air drill. When possible, it replaces the metal drill, with a stream of high-pressure air and a very gentle abrasive. Patients like the fact that it is quiet and gentle, with a virtual absence of noise and the complete lack of vibration. Also, there is no burning smell because the teeth do not get hot.
 
An air drill is utilized for delicate work and generally will not require an anesthetic shot. This means patients are now enjoying dental work comfortably, anesthetic free, with no stress and no pain.

Dentistry of today is not what it was! An often dreaded afternoon of the past can now be one of complete joy. The entire atmosphere of the dental office is improved with Spa Dentistry. This fairly new trend combines the comforts of a posh spa with dental visits and treatments. Offering pampering and complete relaxation results in a spa-like atmosphere in the dental office!
