At Advanced Dental Care, it is extremely important to us to support our community, especially our youth! That’s why every year we partner with an amazing local non-profit called Chava’s Angels at Heart Foundation to raise donations of school supplies for unprivileged youth in our community. We also donate toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, and mouthwash to keep their smiles bright!

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.

Why may a dental crown be needed after a root canal? Well let’s start by talking about root canals. A root canal may be necessary when your tooth decay has reached the inner pulp or root of your tooth. The infection may be extremely painful or you may not even know the decay has spread to the root. Removing the tooth decay and infection is essential to preventing the spread of the infection to surrounding gum and bone tissue.
When a root canal is necessary, your dentist will use a drill or a laser to take out the decayed enamel, dentin, and the pulp to ensure all of the infected tooth is gone. Depending on how much of the natural tooth structure must be removed, and other factors, will often determine whether a dental crown is needed after a root canal. Generally, when large decay is present, the tooth has been significantly weakened, and when the tooth regularly experiences a lot of pressure (think back molar tooth), a dental crown may be appropriate to restore function.

Do you experience an occasional zing throughout the day? Sensitivity to hot and cold? Or constant dull, achy pain? These are all signs you are suffering from tooth sensitivity. Tooth sensitivity can be very unpleasant and also be a sign of a more serious dental condition. If you’re experiencing tooth pain, Orange County Dentist Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson can help!
Tooth Sensitivity causing Dental Pain
Tooth sensitivity can come in many forms and from many causes. You can simply be sipping in air, taking a bit of your lunch, or trying to concentrate at work and you notice that something doesn’t feel right. Tooth sensitivity, also called dentin hypersensitivity, can occur when the outer layers of the tooth, the enamel and cementum, become thin and expose the dentin layer underneath. When dentin is exposed, the tooth root and nerve are closer to the surface and more likely to become irritated.

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!
