Family Dentist Helping Families

November 28, 2017

Giving, volunteering, and donating are all things our family dentist, Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson, and our team do year-round, but these things are extra special to us during the holidays. Perhaps it’s because we know how tough the holidays can be for those who are less fortunate or don’t have family or friends surrounding them. That’s why it is more important than ever to spread our love and kindness and smiles! One organization that we partner with is the Child Abuse Prevention Center of OC and their Families Helping Families initiative. Each year we adopt a family that have been victims of domestic abuse or neglect.

Walk to End Alzheimer’s with Advanced Dental Care

October 4, 2017

Filed under: ADC Cares,ADC Cares,ADCCares,costa mesa,Dental Health,Patient Care,Uncategorized — Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson @ 8:00 am

Walk to End ALZ

Alzheimer’s not only affects the patients, but their family and friends too. As some of you may know, Dr. Jorgenson lost his grandmother to Alzheimer’s several years back. By the end of her life, the only family members she could recognize was her husband and a daughter. She required daily assisted living to perform even basic life functions, but did remember how to play the piano! Our mission is to help the Alzheimer’s Association find a cure so that no one else has to suffer.

That’s why we’re asking you to join us this Saturday, October 7th for the annual Orange County Walk to End Alzheimer’s at Bolsa State Beach in Huntington Beach, CA.

About Alzheimer’s

Walk to End Alzheimer's Diease - Alzheimer's Dental Care - Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson - Dementia Dental Care - Dentist for Alzheimer's - Dentist for Dementia - Costa Mesa Dentist - Elderly Dentist - Newport Beach Dentist - Huntington Beach Dentist - Irvine Dentist - Gentle Dentist - Santa Ana Dentist

Dr. Jorgenson (2001) with Grandma Betty

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia and affects a person’s memory, thinking abilities, and behaviors. It can start early, but usually affects those 65 years and older and can be severely debilitating to everyday life. A person suffering from Alzheimer’s often cannot recognize family members, personal objects, familiar surroundings, or memories. The basis of the disease is thought to be the accumulation of plaques and tangles that interfere with nerve cells in the brain, but much more research is needed to understand the how and why. There is currently no treatment or cure for Alzheimer’s. Over time the condition worsens and patients usually need assistance with daily care.

Alzheimer’s Dental Care

Persons suffering from Alzheimer’s may need assistance with dental care. Here are some tips for providing daily oral care to persons with Alzheimer’s or dementia:

Give simple instructions
- Use short words/phrases in plain language.
Demonstrate how to brush/floss
- If the person still has the motor skills to use a toothbrush, you can instruct them how to brush by having them watch you do it. Same with flossing.
Assist as Necessary
- Help them hold the toothbrush and make the motions.
- Use the toothbrush to gently brush teeth, gums, tongue, and roof of mouth.
- Assist with flossing or using an interdental pick.
- If the patient has dentures, ensure they are routinely cleaned with warm water and a soft toothbrush, soft sponge pick, or even wet gauze.
Watch your fingers
- Patients might get frightened or frustrated if they are not sure what is happening to them.
- Be gentle and give breaks.
Keep up Routine Dental Visits
- Going to the dentist to ensure there is no decay or infection of the teeth or gums can significantly reduce the risk of painful or emergency dental conditions later.
- Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson is experienced with treating Alzheimer’s patients and you can book an appointment by calling 714-424-9099 or visit www.mycostamesadentist.com.

Back to School Smiles – Child’s Dental Appointments

August 1, 2017

Back-to-School ⋅ Healthy Kids Healthy Smiles

Have you scheduled your child’s dental appointment?

Did you know that children who miss their regularly scheduled child’s dental appointments could suffer both health and academic consequences? According to a study published in the American Journal of Public Health, “Children with poorer oral health status were more likely to experience dental pain, miss school, and perform poorly in school.”¹ As a parent, we know your number one priority is to ensure the health and well-being of your child. You can ensure your child’s dental health is in tip-top shape by seeing your dentist before the school year starts!

Dental Check-up Appointment

At your child’s dental appointment, our team will ensure that your child’s smile is free of decay and provide the necessary preventative care to keep them healthy until their next visit. Depending on the age of your child and how frequent they visit Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson - Costa Mesa Dentist - Emergency Dentist - Saturday Dentist - Dental Crowns - Dental Bridges - Dental Implants - Invisalign - Veneers - Teeth Whitening - child's dental ental hygienists will then perform a hygiene exam to check the gums and tongue for any signs of trouble. Then Dr. Jorgenson will perform his comprehensive exam to check for any abnormalities, decay, or possible future issues to monitor.

If the exams and x-rays show no signs of disease, decay, or other dental health issues, we will perform a teeth cleaning, polish the teeth, and apply fluoride to protect the tooth enamel (as needed). Before the end of the child’s dental appointment, one of our hygienists will review tips for maintaining a happy, healthy smile! This includes proper brushing and flossing technique and review of foods and drinks that are good or bad for teeth. Children can practice using a toothbrush on an oversized mouth model for education and for fun!

Possible Dental Conditions in Children

During your child’s dental comprehensive exam, there may be conditions discovered that require treatment. Depending on the condition, the necessary treatment can be performed immediately in our Costa Mesa dental office or just something Dr. Jorgenson wants to keep an eye on. Any possible issues will be discussed in full, allowing time for discussion of all treatment options, and any questions you or your child might have. Some common conditions include:

Providing Pediatric Dental Care

We know that most children (and most adults) don’t love going to the dentist. Our professional and knowledgeable dental team understand this and are also parents. We have tools and techniques to help ensure your child is comfortable and relaxed throughout their child’s dental appointment. If your child has a more severe dental anxiety, please call to ask about conscious oral sedation. Remember the more familiar your child is with Dr. Jorgenson, our hygienists, our assistants, and our office staff, the more comfortable he or she will be on subsequent visits.

Our office is in-network with almost all PPO Dental Insurances and offers our own Be Smile Smart dental plan for patients with no dental insurance. Most dental insurance plans cover exams, x-rays, and cleanings at 100% meaning no out-of-pocket costs to you!

For more information on your child’s dental appointment or proper dental care for children, please contact us at (714) 424-9099 or visit us online at www.mycostamesadentist.com. We offer early morning, late evening, and Saturday dental appointments to accommodate your family’s busy schedule!

Dentist in Costa Mesa Says Reduce Stress for Back to School

July 31, 2017

Our dentist in Costa Mesa provides children’s dentistry. We love back to school season at Advanced Dental Care — but we also know kids’ dental health can get a little out of whack during August and September. Bruxism, or nighttime teeth grinding, may occur as your child starts to adjust their sleeping schedules to wake up early again. As your child gets back into the figurative grind, make sure their teeth aren’t getting into one, too. Learn more about preventing stress and associated bruxism in this week’s blog post from your dentist in Costa Mesa, Dr. Jeremy B. Jorgenson!

Help! I have a Broken Tooth. Do I need Emergency Dental Care?

Emergency Dental Care in Costa Mesa

Have a broken tooth? Often times patients do not come to see their dentist unless a dental condition has become urgent and painful! By the time a patient is experiencing acute, sharp, throbbing pain, the condition is not so cute. Whether you just broke a tooth or have had a broken tooth for some time, it is best to see your dentist ASAP!

How and why do teeth break?

Teeth can break for a variety of reasons, including physical injury, biting into a hard or tough piece of food, decay that weakens the tooth enamel. They can chip, crack, or fracture, damaging one or more layers of the tooth, and break above, at, or below the gum line. Fractures of the tooth root, which are not visible to the eye, are also serious and consequently damage the blood vessels and nerves that supply the tooth. Lastly, your tooth can become loosened or displaced from their socket.

Can a broken tooth be saved?

Depending on the severity of damage to the tooth and its root and how fast you act, your dentist has more opportunities to save your tooth! Surface chips and cracks can most often be fixed with fillings or bonding. Cracks or fractures that extend beyond the gum line, can be more difficult to repair, requiring a root canal and/or dental crown.

Infections in decayed or broken teeth can spread to the surrounding gum tissue, jaw bone, and can even become systemic. Your dentist can treat the infection and may be able to repair the tooth, however, some infected teeth cannot be saved. Teeth that have lost blood and nerve supply, necrosis, are usually recommended to remove.

If the tooth cannot be saved, don’t worry! There are many tooth replacement options available to restore your smile to its full function and aesthetic. At Advanced Dental Care in Costa Mesa, we offer personalized treatment to your condition and budget, including dental implants, several types of dental bridges, crowns, and dentures.

When to see your dentist?

Physical trauma or injury to your face or head or excessive bleeding, swelling, or pain are serious. Please get emergency care immediately! When you take swift action, injuries resulting from trauma have the best chance for recovery. In addition, swelling, extreme pain, redness, and heat, can all be signs of a serious infection.

A tooth with a large chip, crack, or break at or near the gum line, may not bleed or swell, but be very painful. The biggest risks associated with large or deep cracks/chips is damage to the nerve and blood supply and infection. Call your dentist as soon as possible to get in for emergency dental care!

You may not notice when you have small chips or fractures, while other chips might be sharp or jagged. Sharp or jagged chips cause irritation to your tongue and cheeks. You should still see your dentist as soon as possible, even if you are not currently experiencing pain. Small cracks and chips can expose the inner layers of your teeth leaving them susceptible to decay, infection, and further breakage.

Call now for your free consultation with Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson at our Costa Mesa dentist office. We are available by phone at (714) 424-9099 anytime or visit us online at www.mycostamesadentist.com. In addition, we are in network with all PPO dental insurances! No dental insurance? No problem! We also offer our own plan with no maximum or deductibles, and most importantly, you can sign up today!.

Cosmetic Bonding and Dental Fillings

May 12, 2017

Cosmetic Bonding or Fillings – which is the right fix for you?

Cosmetic dentistry can be used to quickly and easily fix imperfections in your smile. Cosmetic bonding and dental fillings can be great options to repair a chipped tooth or alter the size and shape of a tooth in just one visit! And you’re in great hands at Advanced Dental Care.. Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson is not only the best dentist in Costa Mesa, but an artist when it comes to restoring teeth with cosmetic bonding or dental fillings!

Cosmetic Bonding

cosmetic bonding - tooth fillings - white fillings - composite - cosmetic dentistry - cosmetic dentist - costa mesa - newport beach - irvine - oc Cosmetic bonding is a procedure that uses a composite resin or a dense, formable plastic that looks and feels just like the enamel on your tooth. The composite material can be used to fill in chips or to add length or width to a tooth to achieve the size and shape you desire. With a skilled dentist like Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson, you can achieve the look you want in just one visit. Dr. Jorgenson will review the bonding process and collaborate with you to determine the size, shape, and color you desire. Then he will directly apply the composite material to your tooth and use a curing light to harden the material. Voila! You have a beautiful, strong, healthy smile!

Check out our patient Courtney’s 10 minute bonding transformation!

Dental Fillings

Dental fillings are used when the tooth is decayed or fractured requiring both a clinical and cosmetic fix. Dr. Jorgenson uses the same composite resin used in dental bonding, but also removes any decay from the tooth ensuring the tooth is healthy and prepped for the bonding. Both the indirect and direct bonding techniques are actually comprised of several procedures.

Prepping the Tooth: may be necessary to trim away any decayed or sharp surfaces
Etching: acidic solution applied to make a better surface for the bonding material to adhere to
Applying the Bonding Agent: the glue that holds the composite to the tooth
Applying the Composite
1. Direct Bonding: the composite is placed directly on the tooth in layers
2. Indirect Bonding: the composite is formed outside of the mouth and then applied to the tooth
Curing: a blue light that causes the composite and bonding agent to harden together
Shaping and Polishing to Perfection!

Each step is necessary to ensure that your bonding restoration is the perfect size, shape, smoothness, and color to achieve the best function, health, and aesthetic of the tooth!

To schedule your free consultation with the best dentist in Costa Mesa, Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson, you can call or text us at (714) 424-9099 or book right on our website at www.mycostamesadentist.com!
