Wisdom Teeth Pain

Posted on November 12, 2021 by Pasha Dental Group

If you’re suffering from wisdom teeth pain, you might need wisdom teeth removal. Most candidates for wisdom teeth removal have evidence of pain, infection, gum disease, or tooth decay due to abnormal growth of their wisdom teeth. As a patient ages, it is guaranteed that they will at some point gain their wisdom teeth. For some, this causes no issues and their dental health is never affected, but for others, the growth of their wisdom teeth can cause pain, oral health issues, or result in an altered physical appearance.

Wisdom Teeth Removal Process

The process for wisdom teeth removal is simple and usually performed within one visit. Often, all four wisdom teeth are removed to guarantee the success of the procedure for the future oral health of the patient. The recovery process varies for each patient, but most find they are almost entirely back to normal within a few weeks of the procedure. If patients experience any unusual discomfort or swelling during or after the recovery process, it is vital for them to contact their dentist for immediate attention.

Other Factors To Consider With Wisdom Teeth Pain Due To Growth

When wisdom teeth grow correctly, they greatly aid in chewing. However, if they grow incorrectly, it can lead to a variety of oral complications for dental patients.

Trapped Food

Wisdom teeth that grow incorrectly can cause food to become trapped below the gum line and cause bacteria to grow.

Trouble Flossing

Improperly placed wisdom teeth can make it difficult to floss between molars allowing tarter to build up and plaque to form.

Possible Infection

Partially grown wisdom teeth can create the perfect place for bacteria to form under the gumline and cause infection. There are other adverse effects of incorrect growth of wisdom teeth, but all of the side effects can be prevented through wisdom teeth removal.

Bad Breath Prevention & Treatment

Posted on October 29, 2021 by Pasha Dental Group

With the holiday season and all the events around the corner, bad breath prevention should be at the top of your oral hygiene list. The last thing you want is to attend a holiday party and have to worry about the consequences of halitosis. Bad breath can have causes that aren’t due to underlying disease. Examples include poor dental hygiene, dehydration, or recently eating certain foods like onions or garlic.

How To Prevent Bad Breath

Patients have the opportunity at home to guarantee their breath continues to be bacteria-free and smelling fresh. Brush and floss daily. The easiest way to prevent bad breath is to brush and floss daily properly. This removes tartar and bacteria from the mouth preventing and long-lasting damage.

Brush Your Tongue

As stated before, the tongue collects most of the bacteria that cause bad breath, so regular brushing removes the build-up and lowers bad breath over time.

Avoid Dry Mouth

Keeping adequately hydrated helps promote saliva and in turn, keeps bad breath under control. Get a new toothbrush. Changing your toothbrush every three to four months guarantees the brush is functioning correctly while cleaning your teeth which removes bacteria and lowers bad breath.

Routine Dental Exams

It is essential to visit your dentist for optimal oral health at least twice a year. If you are concerned about the freshness of your breath, contact our office to schedule an appointment in Los Angeles. We look forward to the opportunity to help you achieve fresh breath to better your life.

Evaluation and Treatment

To determine a patient’s bad breath, the dentist will smell both the breath from the mouth and nose then rate the odor on a scale. If it appears a patient’s tongue is the cause of the bad breath, The dentist may also scrape the tongue for an odor rating. After the evaluation, treatment options will be suggested. For most patients, bad breath treatment includes mouth rinse and toothpaste designed to kill bacteria built up in the mouth. For others, a recommendation for periodontal (gum) treatment may be necessary to remove gum disease-causing bad breath. Often bad breath can be lowered or prevented at home.

Improve Gumline Appearance

Posted on September 30, 2021 by Pasha Dental Group

Are you looking to improve your gumline appearance? If so, call our office to learn more about our gumline sculpting procedure and how we can assist you with all your dental care needs.

How We Improve Gumline Appearance

As a minimally invasive procedure, gumline sculpting is safe, fast, and mostly painless. Patients can quickly get back to their life as usual with little to no recovery time. Many discover an improved sense of happiness, self-confidence, and desire to be social after getting their new smile.

Like other dental procedures, the dentist will meet with a patient to determine if they are a proper candidate for gum sculpting. After the consultation, treatment will be advised based on each patient’s individual needs. For example, if a patient has more gum than needed, removal of part of the gum line may be recommended to ensure a beautiful appearance and oral health. Recovery time will vary with each treatment plan depending on the type of anesthesia needed to perform the procedure.

Most patients experience minor swelling and discomfort after the procedure. If necessary, the dentist may recommend a strict diet of soft foods or liquids for a few days to lessen the risk of infection. If a graft or bone contouring is needed, recovery time may include limited physical activity to ensure the gums have time to heal. Our goal is to see our patients leave with radiant smiles that boost their self-confidence and improve their oral health for long-term care.

Advanced Types Of Indirect Restorations

Posted on September 14, 2021 by Pasha Dental Group

Our Biomimetic Approach along with the latest improvements in adhesive dentistry enables us to offer the most advanced types of indirect restorations called inlays/onlays.

Praise for Pasha Dental Group & our Biomimetic Approach:

Dr. Nazli is a great dentist! I have had the best experience in this office. The plan of treatment was very clear and well explained. The cleaning was very gentle, thorough, and painless! Would recommend 100%
Patient Parham Hakimi

The Benefits on Inlays and Onlays

Composite materials tend to shrink, and if the size of the cavity is too large that shrinkage can lead to severe nerves damage, and eventually a Root Canal.

To avoid unnecessary Root Canals, and to conserve more tooth structure. We treat teeth indirectly with bonded inlays / onlays.

Inlays/Onlays are indirect restorations using Emax (type of material we use) fillings that our laboratory makes based on your tooth impression. Then we bond it to your tooth with a composite.

Smile Improvement Options

Posted on August 31, 2021 by Pasha Dental Group

Two popular smile improvement options are veneers and composite bonding.

Benefits of Veneers

A porcelain veneer is a thin layer of dental material, usually porcelain, that replaces enamel and is bonded onto the underlying natural tooth. Veneers are the most appealing ways to design a beautiful, vibrant smile. Allowing patients to alter the shape, size, and color of a tooth or multiple teeth provides a more natural alteration compared to other procedures. With a lifespan of up to twenty years, veneers are the more suitable choice when improving your smile for long-term care.

Composite Bonding

Composite bonding is when a layer of dental composite is bound to a patients tooth to improve the exterior look of the tooth. Composite bonding is an excellent choice for younger patients seeking to alter the appearance of their teeth. Since composite bonding only lasts about ten years, it is a more affordable first choice for modifying a patient’s teeth. The cosmetic dentist can treat multiple teeth in one visit, and less of the natural tooth needs to be altered making the procedure fast and reasonably priced compared to other procedures.

Choosing the Right Solution

Before beginning the smile improvement process, patients will consult with their Los Angeles dentist to assure which procedure is right for them. We desire to understand best our patients smile appearance needs and oral health by giving individual attention to each patient. Whichever treatment patients choose, we strive to design a smile that leaves them confident, happy, and satisfied with the results of their investment.

Investing in your smile for future confidence and health is an integral part of your overall health and wellness. We look forward to the opportunity to assist you in creating a smile that makes you want to be a part of all life has to offer in Los Angeles.
