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.
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.
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!

A long time ago, losing a tooth was an exciting occassion. Remember? You put the tooth under your pillow, the tooth fairy came while you were sleeping, and in the morning.. CASH! As an adult, tooth loss is not an exciting occassion. The reasons for tooth loss—severe decay, injury, damage, periodontal disease and infection—are all quite serious. Missing teeth can cause bone loss and really impact how you feel about your smile. Replacing missing teeth is essential to both your oral and overall health. There are several options for tooth replacement such as dentures or a multi-unit crown and bridge, but for the most functional and aesthetic results, 
After orthodontic treatment, you know your new, beautiful smile took time, money and effort to achieve. So why wouldn’t you do everything in your power to keep it looking as fantastic as it does right now? Teeth can shift back into their original position after braces come off, but it’s easy to prevent them from doing so — all you need is a good retainer. For smiles that have benefitted from traditional braces or Invisalign in Costa Mesa, there’s Vivera.
