We are THRILLED to be celebrating 4 years in service to our community as your Costa Mesa dentist! When we first set out to provide dental care in Costa Mesa we knew that patients would have a lot of choices, but hoped that you would give us the opportunity to show you that we are different.

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!
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.
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.

On behalf of all of the Advanced Dental Care staff and Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson, Costa Mesa Dentist, we want to send the biggest thank you and gratitude to our loyal and amazing patients! In the last three years, our dental practice has grown so much. It has been an amazing journey thus far. Our dental team has tripled in size and are seeing more patients than ever. We owe it to our patients for being so appreciative and sharing their experiences at our office with their friends, family, co-workers and on social media! We also believe this is a reflection of the endless hours we dedicate to ensuring our staff, skills, and technology are always top-notch!
(more…)Tooth Pain can be a PAIN, but there is a reason why our bodies try to notify us that something is wrong. Tooth pain can be an indication of infection, irritation, injury, or decay. It can be lingering, persistent, sharp, dull, off and on, but just altogether awful!
When you experience tooth pain, it is best to get a professional opinion to ensure that you address dental issues immediately. Waiting for tooth pain to go away on its own will undoubtedly lead to a more complex, and sometimes more costly, treatment later.
To explain tooth pain, you should first know more about how a tooth is structured. 
The tooth is composed of layers. The outermost layer, the enamel, is the hardest layer and the first defense in protecting the inner pulp or root from decay and infection.
A variety of factors including poor oral hygiene habits, lack of regular dental exams, diet, genetics, etc., all play a role in slowly eroding the protective enamel later. As the enamel erodes, the softer, more sensitive layers inside the tooth become exposed. Some patients experience pain with little to no enamel erosion and others don’t feel anything until the decay or infection has reached all the way down to the pulp or root.
This is why regular dental visits are so important. Your dentist can inform you about decay or infection before it reaches the point of severe pain, or worse, more invasive, costly dental procedures that are required to try to save your tooth. The worst outcome, of course, is loss of the tooth completely.

You’ve just found out you have Periodontal Disease. Now What?Don’t worry! The most important thing is knowing about your condition and having a knowledgeable and experienced dental team to get your gums back to optimal health! The Advanced Dental Care team in Costa Mesa, CA has the solutions for you!
Periodontal Disease is an active bacterial infection of the gum tissue in our mouth. Once bacteria has burrowed in between our gum tissue and teeth it begins to flourish. This bacteria inflames our gums and eats away at the bone holding our teeth in place. No good! Left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to more systemic inflammation, infections, and eventual tooth loss. At Advanced Dental Care, we provide same day diagnosis and treatment of Periodontal Disease. This may include a combination of Scaling and Root Planing (SRP), Laser Bacterial Reduction (LBR), and Oral Irrigation.
You may have not heard of Scaling and Root Planing (SRP), sometimes called a “deep cleaning”. You are not alone! RDH Misty Rey answers all of your questions about Scaling and Root Planing. (more…)

bing and ChartingYou may have heard your dental hygienist calling out numbers during your last cleaning appointment.. “2-3-2” “4-3-3” “5-6-4”. If your dental hygienist didn’t explain the procedure to you, this is called Periodontal Probing and Charting or Periodontal Measurements. Periodontal Probing and Charting is one of the hygienist’s most important tools for determining the condition of your gums, what type of cleaning you need, and measuring the success of the treatment on subsequent appointments.
