HEALTH

Lip biting and lip sucking of the lower lip can cause the upper teeth to tip forward and the lower teeth to tip back. Over time, this causes an increase in the amount of over jet. Biting or sucking the upper lip can actually inhibit the normal development of the upper jaw.

FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH

Habits in Children Causing Orthodontic Problems Habits can be responsible for a number of orthodontic and orthopedic problems and should be addressed as soon as possible. When treated immediately, most of the problems caused by habits can be reversed.

However, when no intervention occurs a serious malocclusion is inevitable.

A thumb or finger sucking habit can initially cause the upper front teeth to move forward and the lower front teeth to move back. Sometimes it can prevent the front teeth from erupting normally. If this is not treated as soon as possible, it can lead to the narrowing of the upper jaw causing an anterior open bite and a smaller lower jaw.

Tongue thrusting is another habit which can cause a lot of damage in jaw development and teeth growth and position. If this habit persists after the age of 4 to 5 years, there is an increasing likelihood that this pattern will remain. Even the child’s speech patterns can be negatively affected.

Nocturnal grinding or buxism can also occur in children. This is usually a sign of an existing malocclusion. It could also be an indicator that the child is suffering from an airway problem.

Children with huge adenoids and chronic allergy rhinitis tend to develop mouth breathing habits. This causes narrowing of the upper and lower jaws and open mouth with prominent upper front teeth.

Early diagnosis and treatment of these habits can prevent major dental and jaw problems in children and also protect the self esteem in children due to speech problems. Therefore, regular check ups with the dentist are highly recommended to monitor and recognize impediments to normal facial growth and correct these problems early on and if need be, the dentist will work with the pediatrician and ENT specialist for the best welfare of the child.

Apollo Dental Care is the dental office of Dr. Sue Padavettan D.D.S. Dr. Sue has fourteen years of experience in dentistry. Graduated from USC with outstanding achievement award for restorative dentistry and was elected member of Honor Dental Society by the Zeta Chapter and is a active member of ADA, CDA and CCDS.

PACIFIC FUNDING GROUP

classes, pass a national exam and a separate state exam, as well as subject themselves to a FBI criminal background check. From there, an annual credit report is pulled to ensure they’re not mishandling their own credit and they’re listed on a national website for all consumers to see. Overall, they truly respect you, the consumer, their profession, and themselves.

way such as Daytona for a Sprint Cup Series race, you shouldn’t let a bank teller, or a bank’s registered loan officer into the driver’s seat of your home’s financial future.

NASCAR

A bank’s registered loan officer, in the mortgage world, is equivalent to a Busch Cup driver. They go through routine background checks – preformed by the bank they work for – and that’s it.

It is as simple as “today’s rate is xyz.”

They handle your mortgage, your bank account(s), and in some cases your car loan. That would be as if a stock car driver was responsible for driving the car, wrenching on the car, and at the same time somehow maintaining his or her own lap times. Although they could be great at what they do, overall they are still learning their craft and do not dedicate 100% of their focus on the home loan side of things.

Have you ever wondered just what it takes to become a NASCAR driver?

I have. Before doing my research I thought, “Just how hard can it be to hold the pedal to the floor and the wheel to the left?” Well, as it turns out there is much more to the competitive sport and NASCAR has truly evolved from its down south origins: a disorganized competitive outlet for illegal whiskey traffickers in the south, where guys honed their driving skills by evading law enforcement and tax collectors. Drivers in the twenty first century have to be in excellent physical condition, intelligent enough to communicate with their crew, and dedicated enough to excel in many lower levels – the Busch Cup and the Nationwide Series – before being allowed to compete at NASCAR’s highest level, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.

To check the track record of your mortgage loan originator, visit www. nmlsconsumeraccess.org. My “driver’s license” number is 240131 and I encourage you to view the stats of any potential mortgage loan originator, or “driver,” you’ll be allowing to drive for your family.

PRUDENTIAL REALTY

Homebuyers Face the Opportunity of a Lifetime Mortgage rates in December stood near lows last seen during the Truman administration, while home prices are at ten year lows in some neighborhoods. The combination made housing affordability, as measured by the National Association of REALTORS®, the highest since NAR® launched its Affordability Index in 1973.

Housing inventory is also abundant in many markets, thus enabling first-time, re-entry or investors to secure good homes and pave the way to their financial futures. Indeed, homes and their long-term virtues of shelter, wealthbuilding and personal and civic pride are available at bargain-basement prices that will not and cannot last.

Knowledge is power – Nine out of every 10 home searches today begin on the Internet.

With just a few mouse clicks, you can peruse neighborhoods, search countless online listings and take virtual tours packed with detailed photographs. The process gives

can be as little as 3.5% for owner occupied homes or ZERO down for VA borrowers.

you working knowledge of home availability and pricing in your local markets, so by the time you sit down with your real estate sales professional, you’re well on your way.

Affordability – Costs can seem overwhelming to first-time homebuyers. Looking at your income and debt ratio can help you calculate how much you can afford each month in mortgage payments. But before determining your price range, you should also take into consideration other factors that will affect your monthly budget once you are a homeowner, such as property taxes, insurance, utilities and maintenance.

Mortgage payment – In today’s buyer’s market, you will face competition for your dream home. To establish your spending limit and gain the ability to move quickly on a home, get pre-approved for a loan before you start looking. This entails making a full application and obtaining a credit report. The fact that your loan has already been approved is of great value to the seller because it shortens the purchase process and solidifies your position as a qualified and serious buyer.

If you don’t have a specific mortgage lender in mind, call me for a recommendation. Even if you do not think you will qualify today, a loan professional can help you develop a plan of action for the future.

Down payment – The down payment amount varies depending on the value of the home you choose and your mortgage lender but

Closing costs must be factored in as well.

These costs will vary depending on the purchase price but generally run about 4%. In the current market most sellers are willing to credit 3% to the buyer for closing costs. Your real estate professional will be able to explain your options.

Making offers – Do not be afraid to do a little shopping, preview homes that meet your criteria and visit the ones you like again to see things you might have missed. Work with your Realtor to get all of your questions answered before making an offer. Remember, there are no silly questions. Make sure you understand and are comfortable with every aspect of the transaction.

Indeed, home ownership remains a sound financial decision and a key component of long-term financial planning. Buyers can secure their dreams and build for their futures at some of the most attractive values in years.

place. And the original assembly was usually accomplished with reasonably small nails. In many instances it can take longer to remove the clothing from the closet than it takes to remove the shelf assembly from the walls.

Maximizing Closet Space The dictionary definition of home storage space should be, “the one thing there is never enough of.”

Yet, maximizing existing closet space is among the least expensive of home improvement projects. Clothes closets in most homes are equipped with a single shelf and pole. The shelf rests on three support strips (one across the back and one at each end). A hardwood pole usually is mounted on wood or plastic end-brackets. And when a closet is longer than 4 feet, a center brace is used to add strength to the pole.

If you have a single shelf and pole in your closet, you may want to consider adding a second tier. Doing so can increase clothing storage space by as much as 100 percent. In a 5-foot closet this can be accomplished in less than three hours and for under $20.

It is important to completely remove and save the existing shelf parts. You will need to reuse them. A shelf and pole system is easy to remove without damage because the individual parts are usually not glued in

The order of removal is important. First, remove the clothes pole and then remove the center support bracket (if one exists).

Next, use a block of wood and a hammer at the underside of the shelf tapping upward to remove it. The block, placed between the shelf and the hammer, reduces the chance of splitting the shelf. Finally, remove the three support strips (you won’t need to remove the pole brackets from the side supports).

By the way, this part of the project requires a hammer and a flat pry bar. Remember: prying between the support strips and the wallboard can damage the wallboard. So, make sure to pry at locations on the wall where studs exist, usually at corners, and where nail holes show in the support strip.

Caution: Don’t drive the nails back through the parts that you have removed. Doing so may damage the finished surface. Use a pair of pliers to pull the nails through the bottom side of the shelf and the back side of the support strips.

Use the removed parts to make a shopping list. The new parts that you will need should match exactly those that have been removed.

Because two rows of clothing will hang where one row previously hung, the shelf you removed will have to be reinstalled at a point higher than before.

Placement of the three shelf support strips for the lower shelf and pole is the next step.

Although you may wish to use different measurements, here’s what we recommend.

The top of the lower set of shelf supports should be installed approximately 39 inches above the floor. Next, you will need to tackle the three upper shelf supports. They should be installed at approximately 78 inches above the floor. Use two 8-penny finish nails to connect the support strips to each and every available wall stud (pre-drilling might be required as old, dried studs can become very hard).

Next, install the shelf atop the upper set of support strips (use one 6 penny finish nail every 16 inches or so), then the poles (and center support bracket if required).

There is a disadvantage to a full two-pole closet system. Long clothing has to be kept elsewhere. If this isn’t possible a vertical divider can be used so that part of the closet will accept long clothing.

WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?

Let the Sun Shine In! What a glorious day here in Brentwood.

The fog has finally gone away, at least for a few days, and Mt. Diablo can be seen from all over Contra Costa County. The local merchants are covered with red hearts and cute little cupids in preparation for Valentine’s Day. The first hint of spring cleaning can be felt throughout the city as the recycle bins seem to be overflowing on garbage pick-up day.

And, as we finally finish storing the last box from the Christmas holiday, the desire to spruce things up makes the morning’s “To Do” list. What a great time to check in with a local company who can let the sun shine in for the beginning of spring.

Squeegee Dream is a family owned and operated business, focusing on the greater San Francisco bay area. They specialize in both commercial and residential buildings, including various industrial projects, and focus on exceeding the expectations of their clients and setting higher standards for the Commercial and Residential

Window Cleaning Industry. That being said, they are a phone call away from all the information you need to get a free estimate with 100% satisfaction guaranteed. Find their ad in this month’s Grapevine and save with their 10% off coupon.

After researching their wonderful website at www.squeegeeclean.com, I picked up the phone and talked with Ted himself after three rings. I must tell you, this counts ten points in my book. And get this, he was extremely cordial, informative and most of all, not your standard salesman wanting to give you a bid. “Bravo Ted.” I made my questions very simple due to the nature of my snoop investigation, but will certainly call back to get a quote to do my windows. Their ad reads “For the Clean of Your Dreams.” I am pretty sure I am going to find this to be true when they finish my home.

There is no job too small or big for Squeegee Dream. Their services include residential and commercial window cleaning, pressure washing, rain gutter cleaning, rain gutter guards and holiday lighting. Ted says, “knowing the equipment and how to use it is the easy part. Knowing what the customer wants, and needs can be the challenge for some providers.” With over 20 years of service experience, you can count on Squeegee Dream to deliver excellent, professional service and results.

It was heartwarming to talk with an individual with such a passion for what they do. The Monthly Grapevine gives you five shiny rainbows for letting the sun shine in on all of us. Who will be snooped next? It could be you!

If you are like me, our home is not just where we live, but a place we love to be.

Maintaining and protecting our property and largest investment is very important to us, so their “Home Detail” service sounded perfect for our needs.

You know what I’m talking about, from that oil stain on the driveway to the residue from winter on the exterior of the house. You just make the call, get the estimate and come home to a beautiful home, it is just that simple.

And our local businesses can appreciate a trusted company to come in and take care of a multitude of cleaning and maintenance situations so they can stay focused on what they do best.
