Dear patients, friends, and family!
We’re happy to announce we are safely reopening the office for non emergency dental care

On June 1st.

Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one
thing has remained the same:

Our commitment to your safety.

Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice and you may have seen this during your visits to our office. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable. We want to tell you about the infection control procedures we follow in our practice to keep patients and staff safe.
Our office follows infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We follow the activities of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued.

Patient guidelines:
You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff. For example:
Our office will communicate with you beforehand to ask some screening questions. You’ll be asked those same questions again when you are in the office.
At the time of arrival at your appointment, we will ask you to remain outside the office until we have excused the previous patient. This is to prevent cross contamination between patients.
We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use when you enter the office. You will also find some in the reception area and other places in the office for you to use as needed.
Adult patients are asked not to bring any additional family members to their appointment. If you are bringing your child for an appointment, we ask for only one parent to arrive.
We will be taking your temperature, asking you to wash your hands prior to entering the dental operatory and after the termination of the procedure.
We will be asking you to rinse with an antimicrobial rinse in order to reduce the microbial load in the oral cavity prior to initiating any dental procedure. This reduces the pathogens released in the aerosol and reduces the risk of possible exposure to the staff.
You may see that our waiting room will no longer offer magazines, children’s toys and so forth, since those items are difficult to clean and disinfect.
Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients. That might mean that you’re offered fewer options for scheduling your appointment.
We will do our best to allow greater time between patients to reduce waiting times for you, as well as to reduce the number of patients in the reception area at any one time.
We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice. To make an appointment, please call our office at office number or visit our website at web address.
Thank you for being our patient. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors and friends.

Sincerely,
Dr Mirhamid Salek and A-Z Dental Care Team

How painful is a dental implant?
A common concern and question by a patient who is a candidate for dental implant is: How painful is a dental implant? A dental implant, like many other dental procedures, should not cause pain and discomfort if done the right way and under adequate anesthesia. The first day after the procedure, however, the patient may experience some degree of mild to moderate pain. For this reason, prescribing pain medication and antibiotic, to prevent infection, is a standard practice.

If the dental implant is performed by an experienced and knowledgeable dentist and in a dental office equipped with the state of the art technology, the unexpected consequences should be minimal or non-existent.
If you live in San Gabriel Valley cities and need a dental implant, Please call A-Z Dental at (626) 966-8408 for a free consultation or go to our website, www.AtoZDentalCare.com, and schedule an appointment online.

Dr. Salek, with more than two decades of experience, will be glad to answer all your questions and concerns and provide you with enough information to make the right decision. If you decide to do the implant at A-Z Dental, you should expect great experience with no or minimal pain and discomfort.

Before elaborating on this question, it should be made clear that TMJ is not a disorder, but one of the body’s joint like a knee or an elbow joint. TMJ is the joint hinging lower jaw (mandible) to the skull bone. Therefore, any dysfunction of the TMJ, like movement limitation, should be called a TMJ disorder or TMD.

If one poses this question to a TMJ specialist, like Dr. Salek of A-Z Dental Care in West Covina, the answer would be yes, jaw cramps in one of the signs and symptoms of TMD. Other diagnostic symptoms of TMD include: pain, noise, deviation of jaw during opening and closing of mouth, and jaw locking.
All of these symptoms should be taken seriously and the patient should be evaluated by a dentist, or by a TMJ specialist in complicated cases.

In spite of being on antibiotics and pain medications for dental infection for almost two months, a patient complains about persistent and excruciating pain and is worries if something more serious is involved. In desperation, he also asks if a tooth ca be pulled out while infection still persists.

In general, there are at least three things an experienced dentist should consider: First, to find out if infection is the only reason for feeling pain in oral cavity. Second, it should be clear that tooth is not the only source of infection in the mouth, although it is the most important one. And finally, if the dentist finds out that one of the tooth is infected and it is the only source of pain, pulling out a tooth is the last solution, and after making sure that dentist cannot find out a way to save the infected tooth. In the absence of infection, this long lasting pain could be due to neuropathy or neuralgia.

Can sinus infections cause tooth pain?

A few years ago my wife showed up at my office with a severe pain in her upper teeth. Based on her dental history, I was sure that the pain could not be caused by damage to her teeth. After taking a panoramic x-ray to rule out other possible toothache causes, I noticed a remarkable sinus infection. Consultation with an ear-nose-throat (ENT) specialist, confirmed my initial finding of an acute sinus infection.

Toothache can cause feelings that could be associated with sinus infections and vice-versa, because they share a nerve. Patients with headaches, nose congestion and even fever, may not realize that these symptoms could be related their simultaneous toothache. Going to a dental office is the best thing to do in these circumstances. A dentist can make an accurate diagnosis based on a clinical exam and an X-Ray.

How long does it take for a damaged nerve to heal?

During the dental procedures, nerve damage can happen, depends upon nature of procedure, or dentist’s knowledge and skill. Sometimes damage is very severe to a main branch of nerve. On the other hand this damage can be very minor and for very terminal accessory nerve branch.
Based on the damage and damaged nerve, answer to this question can be different. At the same time the way and considering golden time for treating damaged nerve is very important for getting good result, and treating patient with minimum consequences.
Therefore as you can see, it is very hard to tell and give a timeframe for healing processes of damaged nerve. As everyone knows, prevention of a problem is always more easily, than solving a problem after happening. Even it can cause less cost and more guaranteed right outcomes and results.
