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.

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.

On behalf of all of the Advanced Dental Care staff and Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson, Costa Mesa Dentist, we want to send the biggest thank you and gratitude to our loyal and amazing patients! In the last three years, our dental practice has grown so much. It has been an amazing journey thus far. Our dental team has tripled in size and are seeing more patients than ever. We owe it to our patients for being so appreciative and sharing their experiences at our office with their friends, family, co-workers and on social media! We also believe this is a reflection of the endless hours we dedicate to ensuring our staff, skills, and technology are always top-notch!

When we started Advanced Dental Care in July 2014, we were new to the Costa Mesa community. We didn’t know many people and we didn’t know how the patients would feel about seeing a new dentist. Thankfully, not only did the patients completely embrace the change, they were thrilled with the change! And the community embraced us too. We are so very thankful for the continued support and warm welcomes from the community.

30 Days of Giveaways!

Now for the fun part.. Instead of our usual anniversary party, this year we’ve decided to celebrate ALL MONTH LONG! That’s right, we will be celebrating our success, our staff, and our patients throughout the entire month of July. Check out some of the amazing pics below from our three years in business and then check out our 30 Days of Giveaways! blog for information on how to celebrate with us!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! We are endlessly grateful for all of your love and support! Can’t wait to see you on your next visit! 🙂 If you are interested in becoming a patient, please call or text us at (714) 424-9099 or you can book online 24/7 at www.mycostamesadentist.com!

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!

Advanced Dental Care + Project Independence

Serving the needs of Orange County Adults with Developmental Disabilities

Throughout the year, Advanced Dental Care takes pride in supporting and bringing awareness to local organizations doing AMAZING things in our communities. We learned about Project Independence through our fellow Costa Mesa Chamber of Commerce friend and Project Independence’s Director of Development, Todd Eckert! Todd became a patient of Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson’s and over time we got the pleasure of learning more about him and his organization.

Project Independence (PI) is a nonprofit organization founded right here in Orange County, CA in 1977! The organization is based just down the road from us in Costa Mesa. Project Indepedence focuses on helping people with developmental disabilities live independent and productive lives by securing jobs and housing for the clients. The Core Programs include:

Advanced Dental Care’s School Supply Drive

CAAHF and Advanced Dental Care

Annual School Supply Drive

For all of us at Advanced Dental Care, being leaders in our community is really important to us. We are always looking for ways to be involved in Costa Mesa and our neighboring Orange County communities. A few years ago we saw a school supply drive on Instagram from a local nonprofit called Chava’s Angels At Heart Foundation (CAAHF). We immediately reached out to the organization and were contacted by the founder of Chava’s Angels, Nadia Flores.

Chavas Angels At Heart Foundation Santa Ana

CAAHF‘s mission is to provide quality services to at-risk youths, at-risk young adults, and low-income families. CAAHF is committed to education, exposing, and ensuring client success. One important program that CAAHF puts on each August is a School Supply Drive for Santa Ana students. According to CAAHF, the Santa Ana Unified School District has approximately 56,000 students of which 91% qualify for free or reduced meals.

Back to School Supplies

For the last two years, Advanced Dental Care has been a proud supporter of Chava’s Angels. We are again hosting our in-office School Supply Drive and striving to outdo the number of school supply donations we received last year (a whole carload full!!).

This year we’ve already filled once box in our lobby and have had generous donations mailed to us from all over the country! Wow! We are always amazed at the generosity of our patients, family, and friends!

As many of you know, ADC Cares is an extension of Advanced Dental Care that exists to serve our patients, our community, and those we’ve never even met! We’ve participated in many community events this year such as raising money for Costa Mesa, raising money for the Newport-Mesa Unified School District, Oral Cancer Awareness, Heart Disease Awareness, Alzheimer’s Awareness, and a Food Drive for Second Harvest Food Bank.

Now it’s December and this year we wanted to do something different. We’ve partnered with the Families Helping Families Agency and adopted the Garza Family! We’re helping this family of four get the things they need and want for the holiday season. We all get down on tough times and sometimes we just need a helping hand! (more…)
