Your Teeth Could Be Ruining Your Life

Local Dentist offers hope for patients who thought their smile and self- esteem were gone for good.

-

Many people do not realize the impact an unhealthy and unsightly smile has on their lives. In fact, people often go decades without seeing a dentist, allowing the condition of their teeth and appearance of their mouth to go into a downward spiral. These people often refrain from socializin­g or going out in public. Additional­ly, in most cases, people who’ve neglected their mouth for years develop periodonta­l/ gum disease. Gum disease negatively impacts your overall health, potentiall­y leading to heart disease, diabetes and stroke.

Dr. Charles S. Barotz, who has been practicing in Denver since 1980, has found it is not necessaril­y fear of dentistry or pain that keeps these people from seeking the care they need. In over 42 years of practice, his observatio­ns when treating patients are that their self- esteem has been shattered and they’re embarrasse­d by the situation they have allowed to happen. This embarrassm­ent and fear of being judged is, in

Dr. Barotz’s opinion, the # 1 reason why people stay away from the dentist and allow their situation to deteriorat­e so severely.

Over the years, Dr. Barotz has helped people in all kinds of different situations. After Dr. Barotz completely restored her smile, one patient said she had been a recluse for years, but now she can go out in public again and is even dating again. Another patient, who now owns a business, said,

“I used to just be a worker, but now that I am the owner, I have to meet people. I cannot tell you how much the new smile has helped with this. It’s even improved my ability to sell!”

Dr. Barotz also related that he’s helped many people who questioned if they were worth it. One woman, who was in her 80s at the time and unsure if it was worth investing in her smile, told Dr. Barotz after he restored her smile, “you’re never too old to be beautiful.” Another patient, who first came to see Dr. Barotz in his early

90s seeking dental implant treatment, said “I’m not too old for implants!” Regardless of your situation, Dr. Barotz has the experience, expertise and compassion to help you achieve your goals, no matter how hopeless your situation may feel.

If you’ve been avoiding the dentist for any reason, Dr. Barotz offers compliment­ary consultati­ons to give you hope and discuss the next steps in how he can specifical­ly help you.
