No More Braces San Diego - It's Invisalign Day

Join San Diego Dentist Dr. Paul Coleman for Invisalign Day

With regular braces, you may experience some or all of the following: pain, discomfort, mouth sores or injuries caused by the brace wires, tooth decay (from inadequate brushing and flossing), plaque buildup, tooth discoloration, tooth/bracket breakage, or difficulty eating.

As if that weren’t enough, there are also the personal sacrifices - popcorn, chips, bagels, hard-crusted bread, pizza crust, pretzel, nuts, certain candies…plus apples, carrots, corn on the cob, and more.

So NO MORE BRACES... Let's Celebrate Invisalign Day Together San Diego!

Your favorite San Diego Dentist, Dr. Paul Coleman & The Coleman Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, will be providing Invisalign treatment consultations on Thursday, October 6th from 7:00am – 4:00pm.

LANAP Laser Therapy - A Revolution in Gum Disease Treatment

LANAP Laser Therapy - San Diego's Revolution in Gum Disease Treatment

There has been a break though in treating periodontal (gum) disease which has changed the way I, and eventually the entire dental profession, will look at handling this problem for our patients.

Well over 80% of the public had active, chronic gum infection going on in their mouth.  Yet despite this disease of epidemic proportions being effectively handled, less than 4% of the public has this problem effectively handled annually.  Why?  The recommended surgical procedures are painful and give limited results.

Historically, when a patient has pockets of over 4 mm around the necks of their teeth, the suggestions are deep cleaning (often called root planning) or periodontal surgery.  If the pockets are no greater than 4-5mm, deep cleanings and shorter reacre visits with the hygienist will often handle the problem effectively.

Sleep Apnea – What Causes it & What are the Treatment Options

Sleep Apnea, Severe Snoring, Symptoms, Sleep Disorder, Causes, Treatment

What are the causes of sleep apnea?
Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the muscles in the back of your throat relax. These muscles support the soft palate, the triangular piece of tissue hanging from the soft palate (uvula), the tonsils and the tongue.

When the muscles relax, your airway narrows or closes as you breathe in, and breathing momentarily stops. This may lower the level of oxygen in your blood. Your brain senses this inability to breathe and briefly rouses you from sleep so that you can reopen your airway. This awakening is usually so brief that you don't remember it.

People with obstructive sleep apnea may not be aware that their sleep was interrupted. In fact, many people with this type of sleep apnea think they sleep well all night.
