WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?
Two Front Teeth Well, it’s a beautiful spring day in East County. Off to the west is a clear picture of our famous Mt. Diablo, nestled in the beautiful golden surrounding hills. It’s a perfect time to check in with a local dentist office that brings a perfect smile to everyone’s face. Dr. Huma Bayat, DDS and owner of Platinum Smiles Family Dentistry is a local gal who chose to open her practice in Brentwood, the place she calls home. Off to visit her office, I was no stranger this area, as I practically know most of the businesses in our downtown area. She is located on O’Hara across from the “old” Safeway, which for those of you who are new to the area, opened in 1990 and the whole town came to the grand opening. I knew right away that this was going to be one of those professional offices that I felt comfortable just by walking in the door. It is clean, bright and welcoming. Since this is just an assignment, my questions were pretty general, but I sure learned a lot.
First and foremost, Dr. Bayat is a woman, and since most of you have guessed that I am too, this was a great find for those of us who would prefer women professionals. And her professional background is endless. I think I liked the verbiage printed on her literature and website stating “Dr. Bayat likes working in the profession as it gives her the opportunity to improve the lives of her patients by supporting their dental health and wellness. She enjoys meeting and treating patients of all backgrounds and learning about their lives”. Well, when I met her, I knew right away these words were not just marketing propaganda. Her own smile comes from within and truly represents her desire to take good care of her patients. This counts 10 extra points. Her services are affordable and available for your entire family. Her team is honest about possible procedures and the cost of the treatment. Their care is prevention based, with early diagnosis and helpful when parents need to educate their kids about the importance of maintaining good dental health. They offer a huge variety of services including whitening (my favorite), veneers, invisalign, dentures, implants, periodontal treatment, root canals (not my favorite), white dental fillings and the best
cleaning you can get, all done right there in her office. If you are like me, going to the dentist is not at the top of my “to do” list and usually comes with sweaty palms and a nervous stomach. Well, Dr. Bayat offers “conscious sedation” which takes the edge off for those of us who are just plain “chicken!” Please go to her website at www.platinumsmilesdentristry.com to get more details on this service so you can check this off your “to do” list. And, if you want to give her a try, walk in and tell the team about that little tiny piece of your tooth, you know “the one you want for Christmas” and they will make the appointment to fix it right there in her office. Another 10 points. So, Dr. Bayat, the Monthly Grapevine proudly gives you ten shiny whites (you know, the pretty ones you make for that beautiful smile) for deciding to bring your practice, professionalism, knowledge and wonderful caring heart to Brentwood. I ask all of our readers to stop by and meet Dr. Bayat, you won’t be disappointed. Who will be snooped next? It could be you.
Platinum Smiles Family Dentistry is located at 4510 O’Hara Ave., Ste C, Brentwood. They can be contacted at 925-634-9118.

FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH
The Bitter side of sweet Seventy five percent of Americans consume added sugars above the World Health Organization’s recommended 10 percent limit. The term added sugar refers to sugars that are not naturally occurring in foods. Naturally occurring sugars include honey, sugar cane, sugar beets, fruit and milk. In 1977 the first Dietary Goals for Americans were issued by the U.S. Senate, which targeted dietary saturated fat as the primary reason for heart disease. In response the food industry reduced the fat content in processed food. To make the food taste better dietary sugar replaced the fat so by 2000 added sugar increased by 32 percent of total calories. This dietary paradigm continues to this day. More than fifty of all American adults consume more than 50 grams and U.S. adolescents average 94 grams of added sugars per day. As of July 2018,
manufacturers with $10 million or more in annual food sales will be required to disclose added sugars content and what percent of the daily added sugars limit it represents on packaged food labels. This will give consumers to reconsider their food choices when they learn that a 20 ounce bottle of coke contains 65 grams of sugars or 130 per cent of the daily limit based on a 2000 calorie diet. Over the past 40 years coincident with this change in dietary pattern the diseases like obesity, type 2 diabetes and heart disease have increased in prevalence in addition a brand-new disease nonalcoholic fatty liver disease has become an epidemic within the pediatric age group. Lack of physical activity in children adds to this problem. This liver disease causes the liver to enlarge in about 25 per cent of these patients which can progress to liver cancer. and 30 to 40 percent of these patients die within 10 years. This disease is projected to become the leading cause of liver transplantation in the U.S. by 2020. Reducing the consumption of sugary drinks is a key public health goal as sugary drinks are the largest source of added sugar in the American diet and is associated with a range of chronic diseases like obesity, type 2 diabetes,
cardio vascular disease and dental caries. Recent studies confirm that consuming sugary drinks increases the risk of cavities in children. Dentists see the effects of sugary drink consumption every day. While added sugars in the diet may not be the sole cause of chronic disease it is the easiest to identify and modify our diet accordingly for a healthy life.

Owner Jan Handel welcomes the public to experience a spiritual and psychological awakening.
“At Guruj’s birthday celebration in Antioch this month, there was no lack of devotees, devotion, incredible food or the sweet nectar of Ma’s and Guruji’s Shakti. As the ceremony progressed I could not help but fall hard into deep meditation, hardly able to participate in the ceremony in an outward sense.” –Brian, Jan 2013 “By the final meditation on Sunday, I felt recharged and renewed. I wondered at how blessed I was to be a part of this. I felt my doubts dropping away and realized how thoroughly the Divine had worked with me at such a deep level to help me clear obstacles toward my soul’s evolution. I knew then and know now that I will never be the same. What a demonstration of working to destroy the ego! No doubt, there’ll be more of that to come, but I am so grateful to have started chipping away at this hard blockhead!” –Satya Jane
Customer Testimonials: “Chanting is fun and joyful on so many levels. It is a microcosmic experience of what I love about being part of the DYC community. As we begin to chant we are often ragged and un-unified but as each of us comes into alignment with each other- all tuning to the same vibration. It is the same experience I have when in the dance of seva (service); the energy is directing me and I am moving in synchronicity with the other sevites. Or when I am in perfect alignment with the people I am serving and I am able to give them just what they need.” –Sarita V

ON THE HOUSE
joists and beams are exposed, water seeps into screw holes and sits on the wood causing it to rot and the screws to rust. Additionally, the natural expansion and contraction of wood due to seasonal freezing and thawing can cause beams to split and weaken over time, posing serious safety concerns.
3 Easy Ways to Increase the Life and Value of Your Deck (BPT) – Building a deck is one of the best home improvement investments you can make. According to Remodeling Magazine’s 2019 Cost vs. Value Report, a homeowner can expect to recoup about 76 percent of the cost of building a wood deck and 69 percent of a composite deck when the time comes to sell their home. No matter what material you choose, following are some tips for building a deck that delivers maximum enjoyment and ROI. Your investment needs protection. Homeowners today have access to highperformance deck boards warrantied to last for decades. But, unless the proper steps are taken from the start, the deck’s foundation could begin decaying within the first 10 years. This is because the vast majority of substructures are built using wood, which is susceptible to damage from the outdoor elements. Easily one of wood’s worst enemies, moisture contributes to mold growth and can accelerate structural deterioration. When
1. Deck flashing tape is an affordable solution. Deck flashing tape is a simple and cost-effective way to protect wood from both weather and time. Designed to shield wooden joists and beams from moisture that can lead to rot and decay, it also acts as a barrier between wood and galvanized metal, helping deck screws and fasteners hold longer and stronger. Even better, it’s affordable. To protect an average 20-by-12-foot deck with flashing tape costs less than $100, making it a nobrainer for DIYers and contractors who want a substructure that lasts as long as the decking it supports. 2. Think long term when selecting materials. There are two primary options when it comes to deck flashing tapes — asphalt-based and butyl tape. Although asphalt-based tape is generally less expensive than butyl tape, it tends to dry out more quickly, curl up and hold water. Butyl tape, such as Trex Protect, has several advantages over asphalt-based tape. It is stickier, endures less staining and performs better in a wider range of
temperatures. Butyl tape also is more pliable than asphalt-based tape, which allows it to create a tighter seal around screws to prevent water from infiltrating the screw holes. 3. Leave elevated decks high and dry. To protect an elevated deck from moisture, consider installing an under-deck drainage system. Using a network of troughs and downspouts, these systems capture and divert water away from a deck. They also allow homeowners to double their outdoor space by protecting the area below the deck from rain, sun and other elements, making it usable for storage or as an additional living area. Once protected, dry space beneath an elevated deck can be outfitted with everything from furniture to lighting fixtures, ceiling fans, gas lines and entertainment components. You can even finish it with a stylish ceiling of your choice. For maximum protection, select a deck drainage system that is installed above the joists, such as RainEscape. This will protect the entire substructure from water damage and deterioration.

Started in 1981, Carpet Custom’s has provided 38 years of excellent customer service and craftsmanship with a wide selection of products for both residential and commercial customers. Floors are often an ignored part of the interior, and they take a beating daily. However, flooring actually sets the design and ambience of the entire home or office. Many people wait too long to replace their floor coverings, unaware that the benefits are much greater than the price of the installation. It’s a low-cost expense that yields a higher return on your investment. Owner, Paul Hansen, has always enjoyed working with his hands and began his journey with his father at the age of 10. He sold his first 40-unit project at 16 and spent many summers delving into all aspects of the flooring trade while not in school. Today, he still enjoys his work and appreciates the happy faces of customers when they see the finished product. Keeping abreast of new products on the market helps Carpet Custom’s to match individual needs and expectations. Paul appreciates the opportunity to meet new customers and the privilege of working with repeat customers. He sells to every single client and knows each one of them.

How is Your Credit? In today’s world now more than ever a good credit score can make a real difference in your future and directly effect your wallet. Although no one except the credit reporting agencies know exactly how the algorithm works these general tips are commonly acknowledged to help increase your credit score. Ontime payments improve your credit score tremendously. It carries almost a 40 percent weight on your score. Set up the minimum payment with e-pay and choose the recurring option so it pays every month. Just remember to check your statements in case the minimum payment changes. Because you are setting this up at your bank you can change it or cancel anytime with the click of a mouse. Keep your credit card balances within 40% of the allowed limit. If you have $5,000 as your limit, then keep your balance amount to $2,000 to show that you are not pushing your limits, it is like the old saying they only give you money if you don’t need it. Also
less than your Minimum Average Balance (MAB), it will start to affect your credit score. Also, when you finish paying a loan off, it’s imperative to get the loan closure certificate.
it is good practice not to have your total unsecured credit balance over 50 percent of your annual salary. This applies even if you pay it off each month. Use two credit cards. This is good and bad advice at the same time. If you have a credit card with a limit of $2,000, and you charge $1,500 on it, you’ve used 75 percent of your credit limit. Now if you split your amount into two, and spend $750 each, then the percentage of usage will be around 37 percent. So it helps your FICO. Now, don’t go on a credit card shopping spree.
Check your credit reports regularly. Just go online and check your credit score at least once in a year, so that you can catch any mistakes and get it corrected. There have been cases when banks report you to FICO by mistake. Keep in mind that free reports are a consumer product and the credit score will vary depending on the type of credit you are applying for. Monitor your co-signed joint accounts even if they are family. You need to monitor the statements closely to make sure everything is in order. There is no use complaining if you chose the wrong joint holder who was careless and you don’t catch it.
Maintain a good mix of good and bad loans. Home and business loans are considered good loans. Personal loans and private label credit cards are considered bad loans. This is why investing in a home loan if you are a spendthrift is a better decision. You will have a good credit mix and build an asset.
If you know you will not be able to pay on time, call and negotiate with your bank. Banks may be willing to extend your loan period and reduce the EMI and the FICO will see you are proactive.
It is a smart decision to pay your home loans over longer periods. Pay off your personal loans, credit cards and private loans first, as they tend to have a higher interest with no asset creation. Home loans, on the other hand but they build an asset. This is one of the underutilized logical tips to improve credit score. Pick a loan and set a goal and then focus on paying that one off (but don’t buy something to celebrate).
