  • Bahá'í Faith, Parivash Khajavi DDS
    March, 2011
    Dr. Parivash Khajavi is a devout member of Bahá’í Faith, a religion first established in Persia during the 1800s by Bahá’u’lláh. Bahá’í Faith is defined by a belief in the unity of God, religion, and humankind. According to the Bahá’í Faith, God has sent a series of messengers in the past, each of whom brought a belief system specially suited for the time and the state of humankind. These messengers include Muhammad, the Buddha, Jesus, Abraham and, most recently, Bahá’u’lláh. Religion is progressive and changes according to the specific needs of the people and the will of God. At present, there are about six million Bahá’ís worldwide, representing more than 200 countries.

    The forerunner of Bahá’í Faith was the Báb, a word that means “gate” or “doorway” in Arabic. The Báb spoke of an individual whom God would make manifest and who would play the role of messiah. Shortly after the Báb’s execution, one of his followers, Bahá’u’lláh, claimed to be this individual. Bahá’ís regard the writings of both the Báb and Bahá’u’lláh as canonical texts, creating the foundation of Bahá’í Faith. Shoghi Effendi and Àbdu’l-Bahá are other leaders that have authored important historical texts of Bahá’í Faith. Most of the laws of Bahá’í Faith come from Bahá’u’lláh’s Kitáb-i-Aqdas, the Most Holy Book. Bahá’ís are forbidden from gossiping, drinking alcohol, taking drugs, gambling, and fanaticism. Most Bahá’ís are also guided by a number of important social principles gathered from different teachings, including world peace, elimination of prejudice, equality between men and women, and the harmony of religion and science.

  • Asymptomatic Impacted 3rd Molars: To Extract or Not? by Dr. Parivash Khajavi
    , Dr. Parivash Khajavi 's Publications on Bigsight
    July, 2011
    An experienced adult and pediatric dentist, Dr. Parivash Khajavi of Portland, Oregon, provides this brief overview of the conflicting viewpoints in modern dentistry concerning asymptomatic impacted wisdom teeth.

    The third molars, colloquially known as wisdom teeth, come in around the age of 16 and are often removed in the late teen years. Because of a lack of space in the jaw, these teeth often cause problems when they come in, from angling towards the other teeth to growing horizontally and applying pressure to teeth in the jaw. When they become infected, they can cause pain and other symptoms, in which case they are referred to as being “symptomatic.” Sometimes, however, wisdom teeth do not cause symptoms at all, even when they are unerupted or partially erupted, otherwise referred to as “impacted.” These asymptomatic impacted teeth are the subject of some debate in the modern dental community.

    <b>Public Domain—Ka-ho Chu Uploaded by R. Engelhardt</b>”/></p> <p>Some argue that such teeth should be removed prophylactically, citing greater ease of removal and recovery in younger patients, or the possibility that the difficulty in cleaning a partially erupted tooth will make them more likely to become infected or experience tooth decay. Other dentists argue that impacted teeth often continue to not cause any appreciable symptoms, and that prophylactic surgery is an unnecessary expense and can actually cause patients more trouble than it saves. The research that has been done in the field does not conclusively lean one direction or the other, so such decisions are often left up to the discretion of each patient’s particular dentist or oral surgeon.</p> <p>When wisdom teeth are removed, the procedure is usually completed on an outpatient basis, meaning that the patient returns to his or her home immediately after the extraction is completed. A very common and generally quite safe procedure, wisdom tooth extraction does have several occasional complications, including dry socket, infection from trapped food or bacteria, damage to the sinuses, or difficulty with nerves in the area. Many of these can be prevented or managed by a skilled dentist or surgeon and with careful post-operative care. </div> </td> </tr> </table> </li> </ul> </div> <!-- pod_content --> </div> <!-- profile_publications --> <div id=
