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.
