Wisdom Teeth Evaluations For Teens And College Students

Now is a great time to look ahead at the calendar to schedule any necessary appointments for teens and college students. Often during the school year, it’s more difficult to plan appointments. Especially when students are away from home. With the holidays quickly approaching, planning their dental checkup now can help to prevent serious issues from occurring in the future, especially when they’re off at college.

Take Some Time out For A Visit

Most teens and college students will have at least a few days off from school or come home during their holiday break. This is a great opportunity to schedule their dental checkup, especially if they need their wisdom teeth checked. Some wisdom teeth issues can easily be detected by the usual symptoms of pain, swelling, and sometimes discomfort when opening and closing the jaw. Depending on how the tooth is positioned, it can also cause issues with the other teeth.

Symptoms are Not Always Present

There are often dental issues that can’t be detected by the naked. This is a tricky sort of situation because without a dental checkup and x-ray there is no way to tell if there’s a problem, especially with wisdom teeth. A specialized x-ray will be needed to see below the gums and around their teeth. Early detection is key, and while kids are home, scheduling a wisdom tooth exam can prevent more serious problems in the future.

After a consultation, you will receive all the information needed in order to arrange any appointments for tooth extraction, if necessary.
