Delta Dental dentist Dr. Haleh Bazargan

This month, we’d like to introduce you to Delta Dental dentist Dr. Haleh Bazargan of Sonoran Desert Dentistry. The Scottsdale dental office offers comprehensive dental exams and a wide array of cosmetic, preventive, general and specialized services.

Do you brush and floss as much as you recommend?
Yes, I do.

Electric or manual toothbrush?
Electric. I love Oral B because the smaller attachment allows you to reach the small nooks and crannies. 

Which celebrity has the best smile?
Julia Roberts. Her smile looks very natural. She has a big, wide pearly-white smile.

If you could tell patients to stop doing one thing, what would it be?
Remember not to brush with lots of force and a softer toothbrush is preferable over a firm toothbrush.

What is the best dental advice you’ve ever received?
Tooth stain prevention starts with swishing your mouth immediately after having teeth-staining liquids such as red wines, coffee, tea, etc.

What is the best thing about being a Delta Dental dentist?
Delta Dental makes it very easy and convenient to verify benefit information through the website, which allows the provider to treat the patient in a timely manner.

What is your favorite dental joke?
A patient scheduled for their very first crown prep arrived wearing a crown on their head.

If you were stuck on a desert island, what three items would you bring?
I would bring matches to start a fire, fireworks to light in hopes of attracting a rescue team, and my cell phone. Hopefully, I would have cell phone service so I could contact a rescue team!
