Dr. Allatabakhsh specialized in oral and maxillofacial surgery, and received his certification from The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston in 2019 after completing his general surgery internship and Doctor of Medicine (MD).
Dentistry is the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions, disorders, and diseases of the teeth, gums, mouth, and jaw. Often considered necessary for complete oral health, dentistry can have an impact on the health of your entire body.
A dentist is a specialist who works to diagnose, treat, and prevent oral health problems. Your dentist has completed at least eight years of schooling, and received either a DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) degree, or a DMD (Doctor of Dental Medicine) degree. If your doctor is a pediatric dentist, this means that they specialize in caring for children from infancy through their teen years. Your dentist has received the proper education and training needed to work with young kids. Other specializations include:
Children, teens, and adults should all see the dentist for a regular checkup at least once every six months. Patients who are at a greater risk for oral cancer or gum disease may be required to see the dentist more than just twice a year. You doctor will help determine how often you should visit the dentist for regular checkups.
A cavity is a small hole that forms inside the tooth because of tooth decay. Cavities are formed when plaque buildup on the outside of the tooth combines with sugars and starches in the food you eat. This produces an acid that can eat away the enamel on your tooth. If a cavity is left untreated, it can lead to more serious oral health problems. Cavities can be prevented by remembering to brush your teeth at least two times a day and floss between teeth at least once.
A filling is a synthetic material that your dentist uses to fill a cavity after all of the tooth decay has been removed. Fillings do not generally hurt because your dentist will numb your mouth with an anesthetic. Fillings are made from a variety of different materials, including composites, gold, or ceramic. If you need a filling, be sure to talk to your doctor about what type is best for you and your teeth.
According to your dentist and the American Dental Association, you should brush your teeth at least two times a day. Brushing keeps your teeth, gums, and mouth clean and healthy by removing bacteria-causing plaque. It is also recommended that you use a soft bristle toothbrush and toothpaste that contains fluoride when you brush your teeth. You should spend at least a minute on the top teeth and a minute on the bottom teeth, and remember to brush your tongue it will help keep your breath smelling fresh!
Your toothbrush will eventually wear out, especially if you are brushing your teeth twice a day for two to three minutes each time. Your dentist recommends that adults and children change their toothbrush every three months. If you are using an electric toothbrush, be sure to read the directions because you may not need to change toothbrush heads as frequently. Patients with gum disease are encouraged to change their toothbrush every four to six weeks to keep any bacteria from spreading. After brushing, rinse your toothbrush with hot water to kill germs and keep the bristles clean. If youve been sick, be sure to change your toothbrush as soon as possible.
Also known as periodontal disease, gum disease is mostly caused by plaque and bacteria buildup that is not treated in its early stage. Other causes of periodontal disease include tobacco use, teeth grinding, some medications, and genetics. Gingivitis is the beginning stage of gum disease, and, if detected, is treatable. Gingivitis left untreated may turn into gum disease. Advanced gum disease will lead to tooth and bone loss, and is a permanent condition. Brushing your teeth regularly and visiting the dentist every six months will help prevent gingivitis and more severe cases of periodontal disease. Common signs of gum disease:
Yes! In fact, its even more important that patients receiving orthodontic treatment visit their dentist regularly. With braces, food may be caught in places that your toothbrush cant reach. This causes bacteria to build up and can lead to cavities, gingivitis, and gum disease. Your dentist will work closely with your orthodontist to make sure that your teeth stay clean and healthy while wearing braces.

Appt for retainer removal made 3 weeks ago. I go in and sign all their paperwork, get to the back and wait for the doctor, then she comes and says she will not do it. She didn't look at the retainer, just said she doesn't work on anything from another doctor. Our original ortho is dead so I'm not sure what she expects. They knew what the appt was for 3 weeks ago when it was scheduled. It was a waste of time and my gas money since we live an hour away, and now I'm waiting to hear back from other orthodontist to try and get this done. I don't understand this at all. They knew we were new patients and had a permanent retainer that needed removed. It's not invasive and a very basic procedure. Why wait until we are sitting in the chair to tell us she won't even look at it? I guess don't waste your time if you have anything done from another doctor. They won't look at you.

I waited 45 minutes to be seen. My records were mixed with my husbands and things seemed very unorganized. The technician that took me back had the personality of a plant and was clearly not having a good day. After having an exam, I was told that they didn't have time for my cleaning so I would have to reschedule or wait longer. This was apparently supposed to be addressed at the time the appointment was made - it was not. The dental hygienist was a delight; the most pleasant person I spoke to while I was there. All in all, not the best experience but I'll be going back in hopes for better one.

I like the people here and the dentist. I really like my dental hygeinist Amber who is the best. I like its close to my home and my insurance pays them with little to no copays. They could stand some better chairs, just plain folding types would do better and not sag in the middle or wooden base chairs but this isnt that big of a problem because ive not had to wait long times. They decorated really nice for fall. They have new exray equipment that doesnt require so many of those inside the mouth painful cards. What else can i say? Just a great all around neighborhood dental office. Clean and neat and all you need.

I had a few teeth extracted today, including 2 wisdom teeth. I was very anxious going in as I haven't had anything done like this before. The staff and the oral surgeon were awesome. Very reassuring and helped me feel better about the process. Definitely planning to continue treatment at this clinic.
