Laser Gum Therapy and Invisalign

Most think of New Year’s Day or Spring as the time for new beginnings, but what better time to start than now.  November marks the turn into the winter season and while most of us are usually wrapped up in holiday gatherings and gifts for others, we forget about one very important person.. YOU!  We have to take care of ourselves to be able to take care of others the best we can.  This starts with total mind and body health, and especially your smile!

Two of the most common conditions in dentistry include Periodontal Disease and Crooked Teeth.  Periodontal Disease is an active infection in the gums that must be treated by a professional.  A common misconception is that a patient can brush or floss a little extra, but toothbrushes and floss can not reach the bacteria that have now burrowed pockets around our teeth.  When left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to a number of other conditions including tooth loss.  By using traditional procedures such as Scaling and Root Planing combined with our advanced technology diode lasers and medicinal irrigation we can rid you of the bacteria that is causing the infection!

Tooth Sensitivity – Dr. Jorgenson explains it all!

August 25, 2016

Costa Mesa Dentist Talks Tooth Sensitivity

What causes tooth sensitivity?

Do you experience an occasional zing throughout the day?  Sensitivity to hot and cold?  Or constant dull, achy pain?  These are all signs you are suffering from tooth sensitivity.  Tooth sensitivity can be very unpleasant and also be a sign of a more serious dental condition.  If you’re experiencing tooth pain, Orange County Dentist Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson can help!

Tooth Sensitivity causing Dental Pain

Tooth Sensitivity causing Dental Pain

Tooth sensitivity can come in many forms and from many causes.  You can simply be sipping in air, taking a bit of your lunch, or trying to concentrate at work and you notice that something doesn’t feel right.  Tooth sensitivity, also called dentin hypersensitivity, can occur when the outer layers of the tooth, the enamel and cementum, become thin and expose the dentin layer underneath.  When dentin is exposed, the tooth root and nerve are closer to the surface and more likely to become irritated.

Invisalign for a Healthier And Happier Smile

Invisalign – The CLEAR Choice

Whether you’re 4, 40, or 400, it’s always the right time to get a healthier smile with Invisalign!  Good dental hygiene habits are essential to maintaining good oral health, but sometimes there is more you can do! Invisalign not only improves the LOOK of your smile, but also improve the HEALTH of your smile!  When your teeth are misaligned, you aren’t able to brush and floss to your full potential.  You could also be experiencing TMJ or other damage as a result of the alignment of your bite.Invisalign Dentist Costa Mesa

When you brush and floss, you aim to remove the tartar and plaque that builds up on your teeth and cause decay.  This is why RDH Lisa Thurm stresses the importance of flossing twice a day!  If your teeth are not straight, it makes accessing those hard to reach areas even harder.  Invisalign, clear braces, can quickly and easily straighten teeth so you can reach your full health potential.

Are you brushing too hard

February 24, 2016

Brushing our teeth at least two minutes, twice a day is one of the most effective methods for maintaining good oral health in between visits to the dentist.  Proper brushing technique is equally important to ensure effectiveness and to prevent any damage to the enamel and gums.

Brushing too hard can lead to:

  • Sensitivity
  • Gum recession
  • Worn Enamel
  • Bleeding8820d3b511a814421cb4f3f5cdabff0b
  • Red, swollen gums

How to prevent brushing too hard?

If you use a manual toothbrush, we highly suggest you use a soft-bristled toothbrush.   Even better, we offer two fantastic toothbrushes at Advanced Dental Care: Sonicare and Oral-B.  Our RDH Lisa Thurm prefers the Oral B Professional 5000.  The round toothbrush head allows for easy access to all surfaces of the tooth and the rotating bristles work effectively to remove plaque and tartar.

National Heart Health Month

February 3, 2016

Advanced Dental Care is partnering with the American Heart Association this February to celebrate National Heart Month!

All month long we will be bringing awareness of heart health and the link to your oral health.  Maintaining good oral health can directly affect your heart health and vice versa.  Sometimes we see that if a patient presents with active periodontal disease, they also have been diagnosed with high blood pressure or another heart disease.  This is because the body is a system, and every subsystem is interconnected.

One of the main indicators of our oral and overall health is our gums.  Regular exams by your dentist and hygienist can help detect abnormalities early on.  Periodontal disease, for example, progresses in stages and when caught early can be treated more easily.

Gum Disease costa mesa caWhen bacteria builds up on teeth and migrates below the gum line, the bacteria can irritate the gums causing early stage periodontal disease.  When left untreated by a dental professional, the disease can quickly and easily progress to more advanced stages creating pockets.  Pockets above 3mm in depth are cause for concern.  Like all dental disorders, the sooner the condition can be treated, the better case for successful recovery.

Just Bad Breath or Halitosis

August 3, 2015

By Dr. Jeremy B. Jorgenson

What Causes Bad Breath?

Don't let bad breath get you down.

Bad breath is the unpleasant side effect of the active bacteria in our mouths, foods we eat, smoking/tobacco use, poor dental health, and other medical conditions. More often than not, bad breath can be kept under control by regular brushing and flossing, including after meals. If you notice you are experiencing bad breath more frequently, this may be a sign of an underlying issue such as periodontal (gum) disease, infection, dry mouth caused by medication or mouth breathing, or diseases including acid reflux, liver disorders, kidney disorders, diabetes, cancers, etc. (more…)
