You’re brushing your teeth one night, and you’re trying to be as gentle as possible because your gums have been feeling extra sensitive lately. Then, you look down in the sink, and you see a distinctive pink color. Now they’re bleeding! Both of these are signs of the most common dental problem in the world today, gum disease, also known as periodontal disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control, nearly half of the U.S. adult population currently has gum disease, and most are completely unaware. It is actually an infection in your gums and the bone surrounding your teeth brought on by bacterial plaque, and in order to eliminate it, you need to see a dentist right away. How will they treat your gum disease? Below, we detail the 3 most common methods so you can know what to expect when you make an appointment.

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.
