Smiles of Orange

Don’t let your nerves get the best of you. Dental pain can really get in the way of life, so if you have been putting off dental work because you are nervous to see the dentist don’t fret. Dr. Jackson offers oral conscious sedation, laughing gas, or can even bring in an anesthesiologist to administer an even fuller sedation so that you can receive your dental care in comfort. No need to put your dental work off any longer! It’s easy to get that smile you have always wanted! #oralhealth #smile #smilemakeover #cosmeticdentistry #orangecountyevents #orangecountymoms #orangecounty #ocdentist #orangecountydentist #socaldentist #familydentist #wholebodyhealth

Speech therapists often recommend that kids skip the sippy cup. Sippy cups have a spout that sits over the front of the tongue with each swallow. When anything holds the tongue tip down during swallowing, it can cause a tongue thrust and a delay in oral motor development. These kids may have trouble with speech and breaking down food for good digestion and may develop picky eating habits when nutritious foods are too challenging to eat. Instead of cups with spouts, use cups with straws. #healthyoralhabits #healthyeatinghabits #myofunctionaltherapy #orangecounty #orangecountycalifornia #ocdentist #orangecountydentist #socaldentist #oralhealth #smilesoforange #familydentist

This young mom of two kids came to see us because her dark amalgam stained tooth had been bothering her for years. She was so pleased with how esthetic her new tooth turned out. We are so happy for her! #smilingagain #milesofsmiles #estheticdentistry #ocdentist #orangecountydentist #orangecounty #socaldentist #smilesoforange

Just one week in a myofunctional appliance and this 4 year old is already seeing dramatic changes in her crossbite, decrease in teeth grinding and improvement in her sleep! A great appliance to transition toddlers out of their pacifier and help grow the pediatric airway and improve skeletal development! #airwayhealth #myofunctionaltherapy #pediatricairway #bettersleep #ocdentist #orangecounty #orangecountydentist #wholebodyhealth #socaldentist #smilesoforange

Fluoride free toothpastes are not all alike. I recommend the ingredient hydroxyapatite in a toothpaste like @risewellco. It is great for remineralizing, preventing decay, and decreasing tooth sensitivity. #flouridefreetoothpaste #healthysmiles #smilesoforange #ocdentist #orangecounty #socaldentist #orangecountydentist #holistichealth #healthylifestyle

Did you know that a tongue tie no matter how minor or severe can prevent the tongue from resting in the correct position? In babies it will present as difficulty coordinating suck swallow and breath and in children and adults the results can be: Mouth breathing due to inability to close the lips Long narrow face and high roof of the mouth Problems with tooth eruption and decay Improper alignment of the teeth Difficulty with speech. If you are concerned with any of these symptoms or want to reduce the risk of teeth relapsing after orthodontics, give our office a call for a consultation. Contact information is in our bio.

If you’re having a hard time falling asleep or feeling anxious, the 4-7-8 breathing technique may help. It is a breathing pattern developed by Dr. Andrew Weil and based on an ancient yogic technique called paranayama. It helps practitioners gain control over their breathing. When practiced regularly, it’s possible that this technique could help some people fall asleep in a shorter period of time. So next time you’re tossing and turning, give it a try! #yogiclife #breathe #breathingtechniques #pranayama #orangecounty #oldtowneorange #socaldentist #ocdentist #orangecountydentist #airwaymanagement

Instead of reaching for pain killers, you can try an acupressure method that has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat headaches and effectively relieve the pain caused by this condition. The point that best relieves headaches is known as Hoku point. This point is at the top of the hand, in the webbing where the thumb and index finger meet. Squeeze the Hoku point for one minute before switching to the other hand. Be cautious never to use the Hoku point during pregnancy. Great natural way to relieve headaches and jaw pain! #acupressure #naturalpainrelief #familydentist #ocdentist #orangecountydentist #socaldentist #smilesoforange #tuesdaymotivation #hokupoint

A lot of patients suffer from dry mouth and ask me for solutions. First, we get to the root cause of the problem. Dry mouth can be caused by a number of things. It can be from sinus congestion that lead to mouth breathing or due to medications. Once we find the root cause I can recommend a @officialvivos device to grow the airway or recommend saliva substitutes or other therapies. #drymouths #vivostherapeutics #smilesoforange #ocdentist #orangecounty #oldtowneorange #orangecountydentist #socaldentist
