FROM THE PUBLISHER VO L . 9, N O. 3 TM

Good Riddance to 2020 P U BL I S H E R D E R R I C K BR E AU X

y wife has been asking what I was going to write about for this issue’s publisher letter. My answer has been consistent: I have no idea! I certainly don’t have to tell everybody that these times are strange and uncharted. We’ve all lived it together. I have many conflicting feelings and thoughts about 2020, and for once, I don’t really know how to put them into words. But of course, I’ll give it a try… As we welcome the holiday season and prepare to place 2020 firmly in the rearview mirror, I can’t help but feel mixed. We personally watched many people struggle during these relentless times. We saw people lose their jobs. Good businesses close. Friends become sick and battle COVID. Families struggle to handle stay-at-home ordinances. Vacations cancelled. Visits to loved ones postponed. And that just scratches the surface. I want to feel optimistic. I want to know and believe that things are going to get back to normal in 2021. We need things to improve. Our families and loved ones deserve better. Our children require normalcy again – we owe it to them. And businesses deserve more than keeping their fingers crossed and holding their breath, figuring out if they can make it, while waiting for the next round of debilitating sanctions. Only time will tell what the long-term effects of this pandemic will be across all corners of the economy and society. Experts say that our experience could create a paradigm shift in the younger generations. How could it not? Imagine spending an entire year or more of your childhood behind a mask, physically separated from your peers, and in many cases not being able to see grandparents unless you defy ordinances or recommendations. I’m not one to wish for time to speed up. In fact, I’ve written many articles about being hesitant to blink because our kids are growing up way too fast. Time is precious. However, for once, I wish that DERRICK BREAUX | Publisher we can all open our eyes, wake up, and realize that this nightmare is over. The twenty-first year of the millennium can’t arrive fast enough. Let’s get on with it! Good riddance to 2020! Godspeed to the successful distribution and efficacy of the vaccines throughout 2021. Our way of life as we remember depends on it. Thank you for being a reader of 92130 Magazine. Stay safe and healthy!

8 • 92130MAGAZINE.COM • PRIVATE SCHOOL GUIDE 2020

aving lived in Carmel Valley for the past 15 years, Danny Limas An knows how special his community is. Living in San Diego affords the opportunity to visit all different climates within a 50-mile radius, not to mention the ability to head a few minutes south and enter a whole new country! Danny’s mother Gloria often traveled to Mexico for work throughout her journalism career and saw the need for aid there. The entire family now makes annual donation trips to Mexico, bringing things like clothes, household goods, and sports equipment, while visiting with local families, practicing their Spanish, and learning more about the changing country. “It’s rewarding for us to maintain the momentum my mom began,” Danny said. Danny has learned that though they are neighbors, Mexican citizens appreciate many of the things regularly taken for granted in the United States. “One of the most special parts for me is seeing their genuine smiles after our visits,” Danny said. “Family is at the heart of everything.” Some of his favorite memories from their trips include eating authentic Mexican food with the families they donated to, and seeing the vendors at the border selling everything from piñatas to puppies. As a senior at Canyon Crest Academy, Danny has a passion for English. He has been an avid reader since he was young and writing comes naturally to him. He’s even looking toward an English major and philosophy minor in college, which he hopes to pursue at Columbia or another Ivy League university. “Since a young age, I have always believed that the pen is mightier than the sword,” Danny said. “Seeing the impact of my words inspires me to pursue English.” Danny played several sports when he was younger, and in high school segued into the world of debate, becoming an officer and captain on the CCA Debate Team. He travels with his team to debate competitions across the country, including the prestigious Tournament of Champions in Kentucky. Danny also enjoys digital drawing, paper sketching, and collecting coins and bills from all over the world, hoping to eventually have representation from every country. Inspired by his peers and close friends, Danny has some ambitious goals to work towards. “The focus for my immediate future is gaining entrance and excelling at my dream school,” he said, “then finding that special something that is truly fulfilling for me in life.” ¢

Community Cleanup

I LOVE A CLEAN SAN DIEGO FACILITATES VIRTUAL CLEANUP EVENT

Love A Clean San Diego’s (ILACSD) 36th Annual Coastal Cleanup Day went virtual this year, with more than 7,800 volunteers conducting cleanups close to home and self-reporting litter data. Though the reported totals were lower compared to prior years due to smaller, decentralized efforts, there was an increase in the number of registered volunteers from 2019. “We piloted the virtually hosted cleanup event last June with the countywide Creek to Bay Cleanup, but we still weren’t sure what to expect with Coastal Cleanup Day,” said ILACSD event manager Lauren Short. “I’m so proud of the volunteers and how they showed up in a tough year – it’s truly phenomenal.” COVID-19 has caused noticeable environmental damage. Disposable personal protective equipment like masks and gloves stood

out among the 2020 litter totals – items that had not been previously tracked. Yet for the 36th year in a row, cigarette butts and plastic in all its forms remain the chief polluters in San Diego County. Coastal Cleanup Day is part of International Coastal Cleanup, which is facilitated by Ocean Conservancy and includes many U.S. states and territories, and over 70 countries. Within California, Coastal Cleanup Day is a partnership between the California Coastal Commission, nonprofit groups, cities, and counties throughout the state. Since the inception of San Diego County’s Coastal Cleanup Day in 1985, over 970,000 volunteers with ILACSD have helped clear over 16 million pounds of litter and debris from the region.

Hawaiian FRESH SEAFOOD

The Spirit of Hawaii Can Be Found Right Here in San Diego At-A-Glance

by JENNIFER FRAKES | photos provided by Hawaiian Fresh Seafood

Name of Business: Hawaiian Fresh Seafood, Inc.

awaiian Fresh Seafood, Inc. is a top seafood distributor and market that offers fresh seafood products to more than 2,000 customers, including top chefs across the country. Hawaiian Fresh Seafood owns and operates a fleet of three longline tuna fishing vessels that supply their wholesale division, as well as their market. This allows Frank Porcelli, owner of Hawaiian Fresh Seafood, and his team to oversee and control the entire process from start to finish. “Our customers appreciate this because they know where their seafood is coming from. Traceability is so important these days,” explained Porcelli. Customers who enter the Hawaiian Fresh Seafood market will see display cases filled with a variety of fresh fish fillets and loins, as well as an assortment of freshly made poke. According to Porcelli, customers can purchase poke by the pound or in a poke bowl with either brown or white rice. “We’re especially known for our fresh ahi,” revealed Porcelli. Porcelli originally opened Hawaiian Fresh Seafood in Honolulu in 2006. A Poway High School graduate, he has deep roots in the local community, as well as in Hawaii. “I grew up in Poway and enlisted in the Navy right out of high school. I was on the USS Midway CV-41 during the Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm). I moved to Hawaii in 2002, and a few years later, I started Hawaiian Fresh Seafood,” said Porcelli. When he relocated his business to San Diego in 2019, it was important to him to keep the name Hawaiian Fresh Seafood for two reasons: the established reputation and keeping the `uhane, or “spirit of Hawaii,” at the heart of the business. “Although we’re new to the seafood scene in San Diego County, we’re not new to the industry. We’ve been building our brand since 2006, and the Hawaiian Fresh “Our customers Seafood name has become synonymous with fresh, quality appreciate this seafood,” shared Porcelli, who lives once again in Poway. because they know As a small, family-owned company, Porcelli is involved in all aspects of the business and even puts on where their seafood his boots every day to work side-by-side with his crew. is coming from.” Each order is hand-cut and chosen for each individual order with the customer’s needs in mind.

rom poor brushing techniques to using the wrong toothbrush, there are plenty of things that can go wrong with kids’ dental care. Unfortunately, poor oral health as a child can lead to long-term, chronic dental and health issues, and the current statistics are less than encouraging. According to a survey by Delta Dental, 35% of children in the U.S. brush their teeth less than twice a day, and 48% of children never floss. In another report by the Dental Health Foundation, more than half of California kindergarteners and 71% of California third graders currently have dental decay. “Good dental habits start early,” said The Super Dentists Co-Founder Dr. Kami Hoss. “The Super Dentists is putting the ‘fun’ back in fundamental dental care for children!” Along with regular visits to The Super Dentists’ area offices and common-sense care, children can buck the current trends by taking care of their teeth and gums. The Super Dentists have added to its line of innovative toothbrushes with augmented reality, helping children have fun while staying on top of their oral healthcare regimen. The brand-new Super Sonic Light Toothbrush

is ideal for children 6 to 36 months old. The toothbrush comes with a built-in LED light so parents can see inside their child’s mouth when they’re helping them brush, as well as sonic vibrations to gently massage babies’ and toddlers’ gums to relieve discomfort from teething. Extra soft rounded bristles help protect enamel on delicate new teeth and it also comes with an augmented reality sticker. When paired with the VIVARRA Dental app, The Super Dentists Tooth Keri character comes to life in 3D and helps teach kids how to brush their teeth. The Super Electric Toothbrush is targeted for kids of all ages and has an ergonomic design to help clean plaque in hard-to-reach places. It comes in two characters – Dr. HaveOneSuperSmile and The Tooth Keri – and features integrated augmented reality, long battery life, and premium Tynex DuPont bristles. The Super Sonic Light and Super Electric Toothbrushes join The Super Toothbrush, introduced last year. The Super Toothbrush comes in six Super Dentists characters: Dr. HaveOneSuperSmile, The Tooth Keri, Cavitar, and Molar, all of which are currently available. Two new characters, MeloD and Flossosaurus,

have been added just in time for the holidays. In 2021, all Super Dentists toothbrushes will have two original songs, “We Love The Super Dentists” for the morning and “Brush Along with The Super Dentists” for nighttime. Both songs are available on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, TikTok, Pandora, and everywhere you get your favorite music. All toothbrushes are available on Amazon and in The Super Dentists’ six office locations in San Diego for 50% off the retail price. Learn more at www.TheSuperDentists.com/ the-super-toothbrush. ¢

COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER

Volunteering and Advocating Marianne Elam Advocates to Fight the Injustice of Mistreated Children by KELLEY GUSICH

“I

have always felt passionate about the injustice of mistreated children and wanted to do something to help,” said Marianne Elam, retired interior designer. “Although I had a successful interior design business for years, nothing has compared to the reward I have felt from helping my case children.” Born in 1955, Marianne and her brother and sister were the fourth generation of a family to be born and raised in Napa. She moved to San Diego in 1980 and met her husband in 1989; they were married in 1991. Her sons Timothy and Gregory are 27 and 25. They moved to Poway when Timothy was 22 months old because of its reputation for good schools, and it turned out to remind her of Napa because of the sense of community and safety. Her experience as a child and now with her own family inspired her to volunteer to advocate for children. Marianne had heard of Voices for Children for many years, but because of her career and her own parenting, she was unable to train to become a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) until five years ago. VFC transforms the lives of abused, neglected, and abandoned children in San Diego and Riverside Counties by providing them with a trained CASA volunteer, who then advocates for these children in court, school, and community.

Name: Community: Volunteer Aﬃliation: Occupation: Hobbies & Interests:

Some of her cases hold a special place in Marianne’s heart. One was featured on Adopt 8, CBS 8’s adoption program, and was welcomed to a wonderful family with whom she’s been thriving and happy for three years. One child of hers was behind in school because of moving in and out of foster care, and began acting out in class. Marianne was able to advocate for her to receive an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) for extra help from a resource teacher. “Another one of my case children was struggling in reading,” she explained. “I was able to arrange for a tutor through a collaboration between the county and San Diego State University.” “The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world in ways beyond what we can imagine,” Marianne affirmed. The organization has closely monitored the situation to safeguard everyone involved, using remote advocacy and moving some aspects of training online. VFC needs volunteers to advocate on behalf of children in foster care and ensure that their needs are met. “Last year, VFC served over 3,060 children across San Diego and Riverside Counties.” ¢

In October, students in Pacific Ridge School’s Government and Politics class hosted a congressional debate for the 49th congressional district between incumbent Representative Mike Levin and San Juan Capistrano City Council member and former mayor Brian Maryott. The event was hosted by the school via Zoom and moderated by Voice of San Diego’s Jesse Marx. The two candidates, students, and families of students were present, with all questions answered by the candidates generated by Pacific Ridge School students. “Helping organize the congressional debate was a great experience because as students, it is extremely important to engage in politics and take advantage of every learning opportunity we can get,” said Pacific Ridge School senior Allison Davidowski. “Being able to contact the candidates, collaborate with the campaigns, and write questions not only gave us experience in coordinating a political event, but it also allowed us to address topics important to young people as future voters.” The debate can be viewed at www.youtube.com/ pacificridgeschool.

2020 Nonproﬁt of the Year Assemblymember Brian Maienschein named the Retired Senior Volunteer Patrol (RSVP) as the 2020 Nonprofit of the Year for the 77th Assembly District, serving the Rancho Bernardo, Poway, Scripps Ranch, and Mira Mesa communities. RSVP allows individuals over the age of 50 with a valid driver’s license to support local law enforcement by assisting in various services provided by the the San Diego Police Department, including vacation house checks, You Are Not Alone checks, and other community crime prevention programs. “The RSVP program has enriched the San Diego Police Department and San Diego County Sheriff’s Department in so many ways,” said Assemblymember Maienschein. “This program provides the opportunity for seniors to make a difference in their community while helping protect the safety of the community overall.” RSVP is among 105 nonprofits honored by California legislators this year.

Virtual Field Trips Poway OnStage’s Arts in Education program has gone virtual this year, offering interactive Virtual Field Trips for students throughout San Diego. Parents, teachers, and community members can register students for the free, grant-funded programs. The pre-recorded online format means “trips” can be taken at any time, and each program includes a virtual tour of the Poway Center for the Performing Arts, the performance, and Visual and Performing Arts extension activities. Southern California Ballet’s The Nutcracker will be available Nov. 30 through Dec. 18, with extension activities centering around movement, pantomime, and costume. This program is designed for grades 1-7. The following field trip will be Layer the Walls, a shadow puppetry performance bringing to life the stories of immigrant families in a New York City tenement apartment. Available from Jan. 11 through 29, this program is geared towards grades 3-8. Learn more at www.powayonstage.org.

Sharing Their Stories Rancho Bernardo couple Susan Lewallen and Paul Courtright both published books this year, bringing their experiences abroad to life in fiction and memoir form. The couple lived and worked in Tanzania for 11 years, which sets the stage for Dr. Lewallen’s novel. Crossing Paths is a story of two women’s struggles, and their differing journeys through it. “I wrote the book to provide American women a picture of life of women in a place they probably know little about,” Dr. Lewallen said. “Despite some dramatic differences, women’s lives all over the world have much in common. There is a lot of shared humanity.” Dr. Courtright’s memoir, Witnessing Gwangju, centers around his experience as a Peace Corps volunteer in South Korea caught in the middle of the 1980 Gwangju Uprising. The uprising and violent military crackdown are now seen as a foundational event for South Korean democracy. “I had taken copious notes at the time of the uprising, and these served as the foundation for my book,” Dr. Courtright said. Crossing Paths and Witnessing Gwangju are available on Amazon and from the authors at slewallen@kcco.net and pcourtright@kcco.net. Crossing Paths is also available via the San Diego Public Library, and Witnessing Gwangju is also available in Korean translation.

ounded in 1991, The Grauer School has a long tradition of expeditionary learning that is woven into the fabric of the school. Through the school’s expeditionary learning program, students connect with each other and faculty mentors equally inside and outside the traditional classroom setting and can explore passions that invite them to go far beyond the standard curriculum. Expeditions offer valuable opportunities to practice the Grauer values of resourcefulness, compassion, and humanitarian service, as well as broaden students’ education. Arts, culture, geography, physical and social challenges, community service, and student reflection are all part of the expeditionary learning experience.

fall expeditions week to include expeditionary learning experiences throughout San Diego County, on campus, and even over Zoom. Options included workshops on painting, animation, chair-making with a master carpenter, and roller derby skating, as well as outings for hikes, fishing, surfing, meditation, biking, kayaking, and beach ecology. Zoom workshops included sessions on garden-to-table cooking, virtual travel, and Kung Fu/self-defense. Each teacher developed local adventures based upon personal passions and avocations. “This round of expeditions has enabled us to explore in more depth our local communities as well as develop greater relationships with locally owned businesses. It has once again reinforced our understanding that San Diego is a treasure chest of adventures and opportunities,” said Trevor Olson, Athletic Director and Upper School Dean of Students. Over the years, students and faculty have crisscrossed the United States in search

of expeditionary learning opportunities, from Alaska to New Orleans to Washington, D.C. Internationally, Grauer students have visited such destinations as Tanzania, India, Haiti, Israel, Thailand, and many more. “But it’s all here, right in our own backyards and imaginations,” said Dr. Stuart Grauer, Founder and Head of School. Engaging students in six core values – resourcefulness, intellectual curiosity, perseverance, compassion, self-advocacy, and accountability – The Grauer School aims to develop well-rounded students who are purposeful, confident global citizens. In addition to expeditionary learning and arts across the curriculum, The Grauer School also oﬀers a diverse range of rigorous STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) options for students. The school maintains a highly competitive and successful robotics program, engineering design and computer science electives, and an environmental science class supported by the Green Grauer initiative. All math

and science classes incorporate project-based learning and technology into the curriculum. Morgan Brown, math department chair, explains: “We believe that the best way for students to learn and appreciate STEM topics is to provide them with exciting, hands-on opportunities that directly correlate with and expand upon what they have learned in the classroom.” As the longest-serving independent school in North County San Diego, The Grauer School fosters nurturing relationships between teachers and students, giving learners 99th percentile levels of connection and engagement so that they are empowered in their education. “In a world that often seems to put standards before personal development, and to put institutional needs above human needs, Grauer keeps the focus on the individual student,” said Principal Dana Abplanalp-Diggs. “Our students achieve and are valued because they are developing personal passions, and teens coming of age are finding their unique voices at Grauer.” ¢

nter a Pacific Ridge School classroom, and you’ll experience something diﬀerent – a class alive with student engagement, curiosity, critical thinking, and faculty commitment. Even joy. At Pacific Ridge, students sit around a table with their teacher rather than in rows of desks. They engage through listening, asking questions, and learning from their peers and teacher, rather than lectures. “Our Harkness teaching method involves empowering students with the confidence to engage with challenging material and appreciate multiple perspectives,” explained Dr. Bob Ogle, Head of School. The independent private school serving students in grades 7-12 opened in 2007. To help students meet the challenges of the future with confidence and resilience, the educational model promotes education through experience, marrying academic excellence with civic action and global engagement. The academic cornerstone

of the Pacific Ridge experience is Harkness learning. According to Dr. Ogle, Harkness puts students at the center of their education. “Each student is seen, heard, and actively included, which helps them to develop the critical thinking, courage, and open-mindedness to undertake anything that comes their way,” he said. Outside of the classroom. students develop understanding and agency through direct experience and exposure to the world. In a robust service learning program, students work with local and global communities to see how they can make a positive diﬀerence. Middle school students go oﬀ campus each week to assist local organizations, while upper school students lead their own groups, working each week to advance service projects. The school’s globally focused curriculum and a program of yearly travel help students think outside of themselves, develop empathy, and prepare to engage with the world around them. The last two weeks of each school year are reserved for

From studying U.S. government in Washington, D.C. to examining ancient and modern cultures in China, Pacific Ridge students have traveled across the U.S. and to 58 countries. In 2019, 11th and 12th graders traveled to Kenya, Colombia, Vietnam, Iceland, Italy, Vienna, Prague, South Africa, the Galapagos Islands, and Austin, TX.

ST. MICHAEL’S SCHOOL

WORKING TOGETHER FOR STUDENT SUCCESS St. Michael’s School Takes a Collaborative and Comprehensive Approach to Keep Students Thriving by LIZ ONUFER | photos provided by St. Michael’s School

n times marked by unprecedented challenges, the students at St. Michael’s School are thriving. The collaboration, comprehensive approach, and community at St. Michael’s are ensuring that in the midst of the pandemic, their students continue to grow in faith, knowledge, and character. Last March when the pandemic forced the closure of all schools, St. Michael’s staﬀ and faculty barely skipped a beat. “Teachers and administrators pivoted quickly and creatively,” Lisa Matens, Director of Admissions, acknowledged. “Students missed just one day of instruction while teachers instructed parents about virtual learning.” The Reopening Task Force was started, and the collaboration of parents, teachers, and administrators has ensured a comprehensive approach to reopening. This year, parents can choose to send their children in person or participate in distance learning. For the in-person learning, a number of precautions have been implemented, including acrylic shields at all desks, facial coverings worn by all students and staﬀ, many outdoor classes, and electrostatic and fogging disinfection. The school nurse is ensuring strict adherence to all county guidelines and tracking the health of the school community members. For students opting for distance learning, teachers use Swivl devices to deliver synchronous lessons to both their in-person and distance students. Recently, St. Michael’s students participated in the Southern California Regional Future City competition, a project-based learning program for middle

school students to imagine, research, design, and build cities of the future. Four teams from St. Michael’s qualified for the competition, all of whom received recognition. Two teams placed in the top five, and our Hydrocity Team placed first and went to the National Competition in Washington, D.C. While the world outside the school campus may be shifting, the staﬀ of St. Michael’s is committed to remaining true to their mission and values. St. Michael’s School is a welcoming place where genuine respect and appreciation of others is the ‘golden rule’ and where serving others is central to our mission. ¢

AUTO SHOP PROFILE

PRECISION , EXPERTISE , EXCELLENCE Passion to Performance: How Adam and Lana Gill Turned Their Passion into a Premier Porsche Repair and Performance Shop photos provided by Völlig Autowerks

recision – the first word that comes to mind when you ask any Porsche enthusiast what best sums up the experience of driving a Porsche. For Adam and Lana Gill, the owners of Völlig Autowerks, precision, passion, personal attention, and pride are the four pillars of their Porsche maintenance, repair, and performance shop in Miramar. The Gill’s passion for Porsche began as a hobby. A licensed attorney working in the commercial real estate industry, Adam raced his 1998 Porsche Boxster, affectionately named Cupcake, on the weekends with the Porsche Club of America and wrenching on his Porsche in the evening in his home shop. As a driver, Adam’s performance stood out, and in 2012, he became the youngest Chief Driving Instructor in PCA-SDR’s history. Word quickly spread about Adam’s expertise, and he soon began putting his skills to use on other people’s Porsches at home. “As the saying goes, a friend told a friend, and eventually, Adam had a waiting list three months out, with people bringing Porsches to the house from all over San Diego, Temecula, Orange County and LA,” Lana shared. In 2018, Adam and Lana decided to take the leap of faith and open their premier shop, Völlig Autowerks. In two short years, the shop has become a leading choice for Porsche owners looking for repairs or upgrades.

Giving Together

LOCAL FOUNDATIONS SUPPORT COVID-19 RECOVERY EFFORTS

ue to safety concerns amid the ongoing pandemic, the Rancho Bernardo Community Foundation (RBCF) will not host its 32nd Annual Thanksgiving Luncheon this year, instead creating an opportunity to give back to those in need. The foundation is asking community members to consider donating the price of the annual Thanksgiving Luncheon ticket – all donations will be matched by RBCF up to $10,000, which will be used to provide meals to individuals and families in need during the holidays. RBCF is an affiliate of the San Diego Foundation, which is now accepting applications for the 2021-2022 grant cycle for several other community foundation branches. The 4SRanch~DelSur Community Foundation invites nonprofit organizations to submit project proposals specifically for programs that support community COVID-19 recovery efforts by Dec. 21. The Carlsbad Charitable Foundation will be accepting grant applications through Dec. 7, and the Escondido Community Foundation through Jan. 25, 2021.

The San Diego Foundation and The WD-40 Memory Making Fund also invite nonprofits to apply for the Advancing Health and Equity Grant, which seeks to address health inequities for low-income San Diegans through improved access and raised awareness for supportive services and resources. Completed proposals will be accepted through Dec. 9. Finally, the San Diego County COVID-19 Small Business and Nonprofit Loan Program (SBNLP), a collaborative initiative to provide low-interest and no-interest loans to small businesses and nonprofit organizations to aid in the county’s economic recovery from COVID-19, has expanded its nonprofit loan pool eligibility. The annual maximum revenue has increased to $25 million, and the maximum loan amount has increased to $500,000. For more information about giving to RBCF visit www.rbcommunityfoundation.org.

WISDOM TOOTH SURGERY NECESSARY? IS

by TARKAN SIDAL, DDS, MD

urgical management of impacted third molars (wisdom teeth) is a common treatment frequently offered in oral and maxillofacial surgery offices.

Despite how common the treatment is, removing wisdom teeth is not without controversy – some critics would argue that in the absence of disease or symptoms, patients would be subjected to pain, risk, and unfavorable economic outcome. However, strong peer reviewed research shows that retained wisdom teeth may involve periodontal pathology (gum disease) despite patients showing no symptoms. The negative impact of periodontal pathology may not be limited to the wisdom teeth region, but rather can have systemic (bodily) affects. Patients

with no symptoms also may have carious wisdom teeth, eventually decaying the tooth next to it. Wisdom teeth should be considered for removal when there is clinical and radiographic evidence of acute or chronic periodontitis (gum disease), pericoronitis (infection and inflammation of excess tissue over the impacted tooth), negative impact on adjacent teeth or not enough space in the jaw forcing the teeth to erupt improperly and grow in sideways, partially emerge from the gum, and even remain trapped beneath the gum and bone. In most patients some variation of these findings are present, making the person a candidate for wisdom teeth removal. In addition, wisdom teeth that are in the area of future jaw surgery or are interfering with orthodontic care also should be removed. All in all, the decision of wisdom teeth removal comes to life in most cases with two doctors bringing their expertise to the table, a general

dentist and an oral surgeon. In an orthodontic care scenario, a general dentist, orthodontist, and oral surgeon may work in concert to make a recommendation in the patient’s best interest. Poorly positioned impacted teeth can cause many problems. When they are partially erupted or have a communication with the oral cavity, the gum opening around the teeth can allow food and bacteria to enter an uncleansible space around the tooth. This condition will eventually cause an infection and/or cavities and gum disease. The result: swelling, discomfort, pain, and illness. The impingement from the incorrectly erupting wisdom teeth may damage other teeth and disrupt the natural alignment of teeth. The most serious problem occurs when tumors or cysts form around the impacted wisdom teeth, resulting in the destruction of the jawbone and healthy teeth. Removal of offending impacted teeth might prevent possible future problems of this nature. ¢

DESTINATION: OUR OWN BACKYARDS Stay Safe With a San Diego Staycation This Winter by LAINEY KRAL

ith evolving COVID-19 guidelines, winter vacations will look a little different this year. Luckily, we already live in a gorgeous vacation destination, with plenty to explore and enjoy in the comfort of our homes or the great outdoors. ¢

The county’s COVID-19 resource website has the latest on San Diego health and safety guidelines. www.sandiegocounty.gov/coronavirus.html

ARTS & CULTURE

BEACHES & TRAILS

Many of San Diego’s world-famous museums are closed or have limited capacity due to the pandemic, but you don’t have to leave home to learn, discover, and share our cultural wealth. The Balboa Park Cultural Partnership continues to offer Balboa Park TV, streaming 21 channels of content from Fleet Science Center, Museum of Photographic Arts, The Old Globe Theatre, San Diego Museum of Man, San Diego Zoo, and more. Videos range from gallery tours to adorable baby animals.

San Diego’s stellar weather means that – minus a few rainy weeks – we’re free to explore the region’s natural beauty all year long. The colder water doesn’t mean we can’t don a wetsuit to catch some waves or stay dry with a walk along the beach. Being active and enjoying fresh air while staying distant from people outside your household is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a safer activity. Remember to bring a face covering for when you’re near other people.

Some open-air destinations and restaurants may also be open for in-person visitors – be sure to check current openings and safety guidelines before you head out.

Check community websites for current availability of local parks and beaches.
