Advanced Dental Care + Project IndependenceProject 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.

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.

  • Red, swollen gums

How to prevent brushing too hard?
