Wisdom Teeth Evaluations: A Must for Teens, Says AZ Dental
The Californer/10292818

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Californer -- With the school year fast approaching, AZ Dental, led by Dr. Navdeep Aulakh, encourages parents to schedule dental check-ups for their teens, particularly to evaluate wisdom teeth. Early detection of wisdom teeth issues can prevent long-term problems, such as impaction, crowding, and infection, which are common among teens and young adults.

Dr. Aulakh explains that teens with smaller jawlines or overcrowded teeth are more prone to wisdom teeth impaction. "Wisdom teeth can become trapped beneath the gums when there's not enough space for them to emerge properly, leading to pain, swelling, and even earaches," says Dr. Aulakh. By conducting early evaluations, her team at AZ Dental can help prevent these issues and ensure a smoother process for wisdom teeth removal if needed.

Wisdom Teeth and Infection Control Awareness

As part of National Dental Infection Control Awareness Month (NDICAM), celebrated in September, AZ Dental emphasizes the importance of infection control, especially during procedures like wisdom teeth extractions. Infection prevention is essential to ensuring safe and effective treatment. While NDICAM raises awareness about infection control standards in dental practices, AZ Dental takes pride in following the strictest protocols to protect patients' health.

"Maintaining a sterile environment is critical during any dental procedure, especially when dealing with impacted or infected wisdom teeth," says Dr. Aulakh.

Common Issues Related to Wisdom Teeth

• Impaction: Lack of space can trap wisdom teeth under the gum, leading to discomfort and potential infections.
• Crowding: Impacted teeth may push other teeth out of alignment, causing orthodontic issues.
• Swelling & Pain: Wisdom teeth that don't erupt properly can cause significant pain, jaw swelling, and headaches.
• Infection: Left untreated, impacted teeth can become infected, leading to additional health complications.
