The Oral Cancer Foundation estimates approximately 132 patients are diagnosed with an oral cancer EVERY DAY! That means over 51,550 people will be diagnosed with oral cancer this year. Early detection of neck, mouth, and throat cancers is critical to identify the appropriate treatment and reach the best outcomes.
The main causes of oral cancer are alcohol and tobacco use and human papilloma virus (HPV), specifically strain HPV16. You can reduce your risk of getting oral cancer by avoiding excessive alcohol intake, avoiding tobacco products (cigarettes, cigars, vaping, chew, snuff, pipes, dip, etc.) completely, and by reducing direct skin/mouth contact with another person with HPV.
Oral cancer has lower survival rates than cervical cancer, thyroid cancer, and Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Survival rates have not increased in over a decade. When detected in early stages, there is a 70-80% survival rate. However, when detected in later stages, the survival rate is less than 50% after 5 years. Most oral and neck cancers are not detected in the early stages, because of lack of patient awareness and the overall difficulty of detecting these types of cancers. This is why it is critical to visit your dentist every 3-6 months for your professional exam or any time you detect something unusual.
The Oral Cancer Foundation has put together this instructional video so you can perform your own at-home exam between dental visits or if you notice something unusual.

Dental technology is rapidly advancing, and certain tools we have in our office can make your experience at the dentist’s more comfortable and efficient than was possible just 10 years ago. The iTero scanner is one example of the technology we have invested in to improve the patient experience at Advanced Dental Care. Dr. Jorgenson and our team may employ this tool for a number of uses, one of the most important being with treatment planning for Invisalign.

Have you ever wondered why you need to have your teeth professionally cleaned? Seeing your dentist regularly is important for many reasons, but professional cleanings are essential to maintaining good oral hygiene. Check out what our patients have to say about us!
There any many types of teeth whitening on the market, some available for purchase over-the-counter and some administered in a dental office. If you’ve ever tried teeth whitening strips or teeth whitening toothpaste, you may have seen little to no change in the shade of your teeth. If you’ve ever done in-office professional teeth whitening, you know that to see the most effective results, whitening should be performed by a professional.
Dental veneers are an excellent, permanent solution to achieving that perfect smile. Whether you’re wanting to fix a cracked tooth, chipped tooth, broken tooth, straighten teeth, or just need to update your smile, there are some key things you should do to prepare for your appointment. If you have not already had a dental veneer consultation, schedule one! The first step is getting the information you need to be able to move forward with veneers. Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson and the Advanced Dental Care team are here to help with all of your questions!
Giving, volunteering, and donating are all things our family dentist, Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson, and our team do year-round, but these things are extra special to us during the holidays. Perhaps it’s because we know how tough the holidays can be for those who are less fortunate or don’t have family or friends surrounding them. That’s why it is more important than ever to spread our love and kindness and smiles! One organization that we partner with is the Child Abuse Prevention Center of OC and their Families Helping Families initiative. Each year we adopt a family that have been victims of domestic abuse or neglect.
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.
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.
