Seems everyone knows that they are supposed to see a dentist twice a year. Teeth need to be cleaned and checked over. But why? What’s the big deal? Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, Beverly Hills dentist, explains why people use dentists. At least at some point in our lives, we have all our teeth. But in order to keep our teeth we must take care of them.

A smile with missing teeth, grayed or yellowed or an unsightly smile can give a bad first impression. And, as the adage says, you don’t get a second first impression! Right? Because the mouth is in constant use and the teeth are vital for eating and smiling, regular care and upkeep are of the greatest importance.

Decayed teeth can make talking, smiling and eating – actually everything to do with the mouth, difficult. Also, there’s the dental hygiene factor. If the teeth look awful that can convey the idea that a person just does not care about himself.  It’s like being smelly or unshaven, and unhealthy in other ways.

Many people do care and are conscious about their dental care. But for many it can be the kind of care you only go and get when you really need it. Some may only go when they are in pain or something is broken. Others feel they can’t afford it. A number of people avoid dentistry due to fear or avoidance of pain.

Perhaps that is because of a past experience of going to the dentist which was unpleasant. Traditionally, a dental visit was generally unpleasant. Not at the office of Dr. Maddahi. He offers Spa Dentistry, the finest, utmost advanced approach of gentle dentistry.

In the past, you may have gone to your checkup and waited in a cold sterile office, ignored until your cleaning began. Then the hygienist probes around the mouth with a sharp tool, uncaringly scraping the teeth… If you needed some work done, likely you were poked with a painful, sharp needle and then spent the rest of the day with a numb face.

Dr. Maddahi decided he did not want his office to look like a hospital. His office is calm, a soothing place to relax in. It’s more like a health spa than any dental office you’ve likely visited. The beautiful design and artwork compliments his warm, caring attitude.

The appointment begins, generally on time, with no waiting once you are in the room. Dr. Maddahi only sees one patient at a time. He begins the appointment by answering all questions and treating his patients like friends. And all his staff will treat them that way too!  
In order to ally fears and get people more comfortable, he shows them what’s going on in their mouth in a way they can understand.

Using the latest diagnostic tools, intra-oral cameras that display the mouth on the computer screen, laser cavity detection that discovers what the traditional dental pick can’t and digital x-rays that are instantly viewable.

Dr. Maddahi has spent many years putting spa-dentistry into practice. This means that all dental procedures be as pain-free as possible. He employs a drill-free technology, so accurate that only the area of a tooth that’s actually decayed need be removed or the new Waterlase MD Turbo laser that performs much like a high-speed drill, using a gentle spray of water and laser energy, to work without pressure, heat or vibration.

Often, not needed, but if anesthesia is used, he administers it using an anesthetic delivery system that only releases what is needed. It does it so locally that it’s hardly noticeable, and little after-numbing.  

With all this, you might find that going to the dentist could actually be pleasant, or something to even look forward to. Call the Beverly Hills dentist office of Los Angeles dentist, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, and schedule a free dental consultation.
