As if creating beautiful, healthy smiles wasn’t enough, we also get to be a part of such a wonderful community in Orange County that offers so many opportunities to give back. It’s important to Dr. Jerey Jorgenson and our entire Costa Mesa dental staff to serve and to give whenever possible. The holidays hold a particularly special meaning, because it is the time for gathering with family and friends and spreading holiday cheer.
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), tooth decay is the second most prevalent health condition in the U.S. after the common cold. If you’ve never had a cavity, great work! However, it’s very likely that at some point in your life you will develop at least one.
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.

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!
This July is our 3rd year in business as your favorite Costa Mesa Dentist! From the bottom of our hearts, we cannot thank our patients, families, and friends enough for all of their love and support.
We are celebrating all month long with patient rewards, daily prizes, and a special 30 Days of Giveaways contest! Our friends in the community have donated some AMAZING prizes for our patients to win. Each day we will post a new prize on our social media accounts.

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.
Brushing too hard can lead to:
If you use a manual toothbrush, we highly suggest you use a soft-bristled toothbrush. Even better, we offer two fantastic toothbrushes at Advanced Dental Care: Sonicare and Oral-B. Our RDH Lisa Thurm prefers the Oral B Professional 5000. The round toothbrush head allows for easy access to all surfaces of the tooth and the rotating bristles work effectively to remove plaque and tartar.
