No matter how old your child is, an important part of being a parent is helping them get ready for the new school year. From buying all the right school supplies to making sure their vaccinations are up to date, it’s crucial that they’re prepared for the coming year. One way to be sure they’re ready is by helping them keep their teeth in tip-top shape. Read on as a children’s dentist in Costa Mesa offers 5 things to add to your kid’s back-to-school checklist for healthy teeth.

It’s that time of year where parents and students transition from summer vacation mode to back to school mode. While you’re busy gathering the items on your school supply list, shopping for new clothes, and getting your hair cut, don’t forget one of the most important visits you need to schedule: the dentist!
Seeing your dentist before school starts is the best way to ensure your child’s smile is in spectacular shape. This could be especially important if summer vacay mode included lots of carbonated beverages, sugary snacks like popsicles, or staying up late and forgetting to brush your teeth before bed.

We are so honored and blessed to announce that this July we are celebrating 5 years in service as your Costa Mesa dentist! Wow! We really can’t believe how quickly time has flown by. We are so amazed and honored by your trust and loyalty in us.
Beyond the business of dental care – we have met such wonderful people who let us become a part of their lives. From our patients, to our friends at the Costa Mesa Chamber of Commerce, to our family and friends – it’s really been an unbelievable experience. These personal connections over the last 5 years are truly the most memorable. The time spent laughing, crying, and making life-long relationships with all of you, it’s something we don’t certainly don’t take lightly.
Another amazing feat is the growth of our dental team. As a dental team, we’ve grown from one doctor and 3 staff members to two doctors, two front office staff, three dental assistants, and four dental hygienists! Growing our team has allowed us to see more patients and provide the highest quality of care possible. On a personal level, we’ve had three marriages, two babies, and one on the way this August (Dr. Jorgenson)! We are truly a family and we hope you love our dental family as much as we do.
Over the last few years, we’ve continued to expand our skill set, knowledge, and dental equipment including out iTero Digital Scanner, ICON Caries Infiltration System, and our Bioclear Matrix System. Dr. Jorgenson became an Invisalign Gold Plus provider and a proud member of the American Society of Implant and Restorative Dentistry (ASIRD).
It’s very important to us to always be improving and being the best dental care team we can for you. We will continue acquiring the latest dental technology and attending Continuing Education courses. We plan to continue offer evening and weekend dental appointments, as well as, emergency dental care. Looking to the future, we hope we can continue growing (and who knows, maybe even one day open a second location)!
Being your Costa Mesa dentist inspires us to continue learning, exploring, and demonstrating the highest levels of dental care possible. It inspires us to teach more people about the importance of dental care, wellness, and leading healthy lifestyles. It inspires us to continue to be involved in our community and give back however we can. Being your Costa Mesa dentist inspires us to just be better!

‘Tis the season for life’s important milestone and parties, but is your smile ready to be be celebrated?
(more…)
You wake up with a runny nose, sore throat. Blah! What now? You probably assume you are coming down with a seasonal bug and start loading vitamins, fluids, and other over-the-counter medicines. But what do you do when end up in a dental emergency, like a cracked tooth? What now? Most of us aren’t that familiar with the recommendations. That’s why we want to make sure you are prepared with these tips!
A dental emergency isn’t a temporary veneer that has come off or a weird taste in your mouth. It’s any situation that requires urgent care to save a broken or knocked-out tooth, stop bleeding, or relieve unbearable tooth/mouth pain. Don’t worry if you still aren’t sure! We’re available 24/7 by phone, text, email, and live chat to answer your questions.
Fortunately, we are experienced and knowledgeable in dental emergencies here in Costa Mesa. If you or someone you know thinks you might be having a dental emergency just give us a call and we’ll help you determine if you’ll need to see one of our dentists.
Depending on if the tooth is an adult or baby tooth, there are different recommendations.
If it’s a permanent adult tooth, you’ll want to try to put the tooth back in the socket. Try not to touch the root (the part you normally don’t see) in order to keep it intact and clean. If you can’t put the tooth back in the socket, then you can try to place it between your check and gums, in a cup of milk, or in ADA-approved tooth-preservation solution. KEEP THE TOOTH WET!If it’s a baby tooth, call us at (714) 424-9099 as soon as possible. Unlike an adult tooth, you will NOT want to try to put the tooth back in the mouth. Most importantly, remain calm and reassure your child that everything will be okay!
A cracked tooth can crack superficially or can crack deep! Ouch! If the tooth is still in your mouth, try rinsing with warm water (cold water can cause more pain if the root is exposed). If you are experiencing any swelling, please a cold ice pack on the outside of your face in that area. If you’ve lost the tooth, see the advice above.
You can call or text us at (714) 424-9099 to schedule your emergency visit.A toothache can be caused by a number of things, but nonetheless is never enjoyable. Some times tooth pain comes and goes, but sometimes it just gets down right unbearable. Try rinsing with some warm salt water to cleanse the mouth and gently floss to remove any food.
If you’re experiencing sensitivity when chewing or drinking hot or cold liquids, then avoid chewing or drinking in that area. You can also apply a cold ice pack to the outside of the face.Oh no! You’re bleeding or swelling. Make sure you use a clean tissue or cloth and apply pressure to any cuts or wounds on the outside of the mouth. For a bleeding tongue or gums, try rinsing with warm salt water. If you experiencing excessive bleeding that isn’t stopping or have punctured the lips, cheeks, other skin around the mouth, please seek emergency medical care.

Oral cancer takes the lives of thousands of Americans every year, largely because it gets discovered in the late stages of development. For this reason, it’s more important than ever to be aware of the risk factors that increase your chances of developing the condition. While excessive alcohol consumption, tobacco use, and prolonged exposure are among the top factors, there’s another risk that many people don’t consider when it comes to oral/mouth cancer: human papillomavirus.
To learn what links these two conditions together and other important information regarding oral cancer, keep reading!
