In dentistry, a "bartell" is the name given to a tooth that is an anatomical anomaly. In order to be labeled a "bartell", the remaining teeth in one's grill must be generally accepted as normal, or even above average, thus drawing even more attention to the one "ugly duckling" or "
retarded cousin". Examples of bartells include a single
yellow tooth, a single decaying tooth, or a single chipped tooth. Bartells can originate from any number of ways, including a cavity, genetics, or an errant beer bottle drunkenly thrust into one's mouth. A "bartell" can transform one's entire appearance, making even the
hottest chick look like an inbred redneck.
"Damn son, that girl would be fine but
I just can't look past her frickin' bartell."
"The young lady's
beautiful smile had
unfortunately been sabotaged by a lone bartell."
