Honoring our heroes is important to us, but too often America’s veterans return home only to face more battles. Obtaining medical and dental care for veterans shouldn’t be one of them. That’s why Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson and the Advanced Dental Care team are giving back this Veteran’s Day by offering free dental exams and x-rays for veterans. In addition, any dental treatment needed will be provided at 50% off.

Going back-to-school is bittersweet for both parents and students. No one wants summer to end, but students enjoy going back to school to see their friends again, getting back into school sports, and moving one step closer to graduation!
Even though going back-to-school is an exciting time, students can experience anxiety. Anxiety can interfere with sleep, wellness, and performance. But don’t worry! We’ve compiled some smile smart tips to help you smoothly transition back into the school year.
Of course our first tip is to complete your dental exam and x-rays, and cleaning, before school starts. These services are often covered at 100% by dental insurance. Nothing can distract students more than throbbing, achy tooth pain that requires an emergency dental visit. Make sure your dental health is an A+ for academic success!
Our second tip is to get enough sleep. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends:
Not getting restful sleep? Schedule a consultation for Sleep Apnea or Bruxism. A custom sleep device to treat sleep apnea can improve sleep quality and reduce chances for heart disease or stroke. A custom nightguard to prevent grinding that can cause poor sleep, headaches, and aggrevated TMJ.
Smile Smart Tip # 3Our third tip is to choose healthy food and drinks to feel your best and keep your teeth strong and healthy. Avoid drinks with color additives, sugar, carbonation, or acid to protect against decay and erosion. Choose foods with calcium, minerals like cheese, yogurt, almonds, leafy greens, and carrots.
Our fourth tip is to protect your smile during school sports. An injury can cause broken teeth, dead teeth, and even permanent tooth loss. Consider a custom athletic mouthguard for school sports in your school colors!
Brush and floss for at least 2 minutes twice a day to maintain good oral hygiene between dental visits. Choose a soft bristled toothbrush making circular motions at a 45 degree angle and waxed floss or flosser picks to get the areas in between teeth where your toothbrush can’t reach.

You’ll want to look your best on the most important day of your life and forever in your photos. What’s in and what’s out – hair, makeup, wedding dress styles – those fashions change all the time, but one thing that never goes out of style is a healthy, beautiful smile!
So what options do you have to help perfect your smile? Depending on how much time you have until the big day and your desired outcomes, you may have a variety of treatment options. We offer complimentary cosmetic dentistry consultations at our Costa Mesa dental office.
At the consultation, you will meet with Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson to discuss how to best improve your smile and how much time you have. Then, our treatment coordinator will put together a custom treatment plan based on our recommended treatment and your budget.
You may be thinking that you can’t afford to have a beautiful smile, but we offer both financial and treatment options for every budget including 0% interest or low monthly repayment plans with our partners at Care Credit and Wells Fargo. We can also arrange an in-office payment plan if approved.

The Oral Cancer Foundation estimates approximately 132 patients are diagnosed with an oral cancer EVERY DAY! That means over 51,550 people will be diagnosed with oral cancer this year. Early detection of neck, mouth, and throat cancers is critical to identify the appropriate treatment and reach the best outcomes.
The main causes of oral cancer are alcohol and tobacco use and human papilloma virus (HPV), specifically strain HPV16. You can reduce your risk of getting oral cancer by avoiding excessive alcohol intake, avoiding tobacco products (cigarettes, cigars, vaping, chew, snuff, pipes, dip, etc.) completely, and by reducing direct skin/mouth contact with another person with HPV.
Oral cancer has lower survival rates than cervical cancer, thyroid cancer, and Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Survival rates have not increased in over a decade. When detected in early stages, there is a 70-80% survival rate. However, when detected in later stages, the survival rate is less than 50% after 5 years. Most oral and neck cancers are not detected in the early stages, because of lack of patient awareness and the overall difficulty of detecting these types of cancers. This is why it is critical to visit your dentist every 3-6 months for your professional exam or any time you detect something unusual.
The Oral Cancer Foundation has put together this instructional video so you can perform your own at-home exam between dental visits or if you notice something unusual.
Schedule your free oral cancer screening with Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson today! Our friendly and knowledgeable staff is here to answer any questions 24/7. You can reach our Costa Mesa dental office by phone at (714) 424-9099 or book online anytime at www.mycostamesadentist.com.
