Ridgeland Dental

Ridgeland Dental General and Airway Dentistry Bartz and Bartz Dental was founded by our Father, Raymond A. Bartz, in 1947. Denis Catholic Church for four decades.

Dad opened his practice in the Chicago Lawn area and served that community for more than 40 years. Dad also worked with The Knights of Columbus, Holy Cross Hospital Advisory Board and Veterans of Foreign Wars, and served as an usher at St. He passed away in 2000, leaving his wife of 56 years and four children. Dad loved his family, worshiped his Lord and would sing songs of joy while he worked at the profession he cherished.

Q: My teeth feel more sensitive in the cold weather—should I be worried? ❄️🦷
A: Yes, this is super common! Cold air can cause the fluid in your dentinal tubules to shift, triggering sensitivity. But it shouldn’t be painful or constant. If sensitivity lingers, it may be a sign of enamel wear, gum recession, or even a small cavity.

✨ Tips to reduce winter sensitivity:
• Use a sensitivity toothpaste
• Avoid over-whitening
• Don’t skip your nightly floss
• Wear a scarf to shield your mouth from cold air
• Schedule an exam if it lasts more than a week or two

Q: What’s airway dentistry?
A: It’s a dental approach that focuses on helping you breathe better through your nose and keeping your airway open. 🌬️ Why does this matter? Because the way you breathe impacts your sleep, energy, and overall health.

Airway dentistry = dentistry that helps your whole body thrive.

Braces done, but something feels off? If your teeth are straight but your bite feels uneven, you’re not imagining it.
Sometimes after orthodontic treatment, the jaw or muscles need time (and care) to rebalance.

Signs to look for:
💢 Clicking or popping in your jaw
😣 Facial tension or headaches
😬 Teeth that don’t feel quite aligned

These are common and treatable — your bite or airway might need a recheck.

Get to know Dr. Rohan Bansal 👋

A Pittsburgh native turned Chicago dentist, Dr. Rohan’s journey has taken him from the University of Pittsburgh to Indiana University School of Dentistry and then to a hospital residency at Loyola University Medical Center, where he cared for patients with complex medical needs and dental emergencies — and trained under Dr. Bartz, who helped shape his early dental career.

When he’s not helping patients smile brighter, Dr. Rohan enjoys exploring Chicago’s food scene with his wife and cheering on the Pittsburgh Steelers (Go Steelers!). 🏈
