FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH APOLLO DENTAL CARE
The Effects Of Food And Beverages On Dental Health. Even though tooth decay has remarkably reduced over 30 years it is still a silent epidemic. About 20% of children between 2 and 4 years have detectable caries and by 17 years of age 80% of young people have had a cavity. Diet plays an important role in a person’s pre-disposition to developing cavities. Plaque bacteria readily metabolize sugars and additives in food and drinks to produce acids that result in enamel softening or demineralization. Frequent and excessive sugar consumption is an important factor for cavities to start. The intake of carbohydrates particularly sucrose more than four times a day or in quantities more than sixty grams per day can increase the rate of cavities. The more frequent intake of sugary snacks between meals exposes the enamel to longer periods of acid attacks leading to softer enamel. Sugar added cereals are a combination of
refined sugar and starch and are most commonly consumed breakfast items in the morning. Processed food starches in modern human diets have significant cavity producing characteristics in them. In both human and animal studies researchers found that the combination of sugar and starch led to more enamel demineralization than did a diet of sugar alone. Children who consumed cereal with added sugar have more cavities in their teeth. Beverages such as milk and juice also have different effects on oral health. Fruit juices are considered healthy food choices, however excessive intake of or continuously sipping fruit juices can be a risk to dental health because these juices are highly acidic, and they are also processed with added ingredients especially sugar which can cause erosion and caries. Fruit juices often are included as the beverage of choice in children’s meals or snack packs and are considered healthy. There are concerns regarding the high caloric and sugar contents of fruit juices which may lead to obesity thereby adversely affecting general health. Unfortunately, the implications of fruit juices as a cause of dental caries usually are not emphasized. Most people have caries causing bacteria in their dental plaque. In health there tends to be low numbers of bacteria and the frequent disturbance of the biofilm
during tooth brushing and flossing will prevent demineralization or cavitation of a tooth. When large numbers of plaque are present due to inadequate oral hygiene the number of cavity causing bacteria increases especially when the patient is undergoing orthodontic treatment. It is essential to prevent the accumulation of plaque and calculus on the teeth and around orthodontic appliances and to get the teeth evaluated every 6 months. Currently high emphasis is placed on the relationship between sugary drinks and snacks and obesity but there is a need for equal emphasis on the harmful effects of such food and drinks on oral health. Essential cornerstone to control cavities is preventive and interceptive care like getting teeth checked every 6 months for kids and watch what kids eat and drink. Apollo Dental Care is the dental office of Dr. Sue Padavettan, D.D.S. Dr. Sue has 15 years of experience in dentistry, graduated from USC with outstanding achievement award for restorative dentistry, was elected member of Honor Dental Society by the Zeta Chapter and is an active member of and ADA, CDA and CCDS. Apollo Dental Care supports Heritage Patriots & East County Little League.
Apollo Dental Care is located at 4530 Balfour Rd. Suite C in Brentwood. They can be contacted at 925-634-5061.

So, I would like to take the time to thank a lot of amazing people that have helped me get to where I’m at today. First off, I have to thank my Mom for always being the back bone of our family and continuing to love me even when I wasn’t living right. My father for believing in me and supporting my dreams and goals, with endless hard work and free labor, haha! Mark Vail, you’re my guy! You’ve been in the trenches with me for 10+ years… You’ve taught me things and helped countless customers, you’ve always been an honest, great dude and I am lucky to have you. I’d also like to thank everyone in my family & my wife’s family, as well as some of my friends that have helped and contributed along the way. You guys have no idea how much your support has meant over the years. I’d also like to thank all my wonderful customers for your business, for your relationships and for making this place what it is today. And last but not least I want to thank my amazing, understanding, patient, loving and supportive wife, Andrea Johnson. You allowed me to start this journey while we had two little babies. You let me continue this journey while I struggled financially and emotionally and you allowed me to continue while putting more burden on yourself both financially and emotionally. Words can’t express how much you mean to me, but I’m gonna spend the rest of my living days showing you how much it did.

waiting at the door with fresh baked cookies and big smiles. Right? Wrong. Buyers want to imagine themselves in your space, not be confronted by you in your space. Get out of the house, take the kids with you, and if you can’t leave for whatever reason, and don’t go sit in the backyard if that is a selling feature, try standing on the front porch or walk around the block.
What NOT to Do When Putting Your Home on the Market Although it is not quite a Buyers’ market, Buyers have slowed down and now more than ever are looking for that just right home. As you ready your home for sale, you should realize that you can maximize your return with a few simple things like light fixtures or faucets in the kitchen and bathrooms will make a big impression and are affordable to implement. Don’t over-improve. Projects like adding solar and increasing insulation are better for the long term and not usually the best investment for a sale. Make any needed fixes to your space, but don’t go above and beyond—you may not recoup the money doing so. A Realtor calls to let you know they will be bringing buyers by this afternoon. Great! You rally your whole family, Fluffy the dog included, to be
Don’t be afraid to take down the curtains and just use the blind or just leave the valance. Scale down your furniture to be in balance with the scale of the room. Remember that the purpose of furniture when selling a home is to define the purpose of the room and to show what will fit where. Check that all lights are burning with fresh bulbs, and that all fixtures are working.
Over-decorating is just as bad as over-improving. You may love the look of lace and lavender, but your potential buyer may enter your home and cringe. Home staging is meant to create a neutral canvas that will appeal to the majority of buyers. Staging is all about de-personalizing the space, and creating more of a look that will appeal to most everyone. If painting, you should choose nice neutral and warm beige tones. People are quick to stage living rooms and kitchens and but don’t forget to spruce up the bedrooms, flex space and closets as well.
People care about the outside space just as much as the inside, so add flowers, add bark or rocks, make sure the lawn is mowed, the yard is tidy and add a few backyard accessories.
People love natural light, so don’t block any light with heavy curtains or furniture. Accentuate any attractive views. Anything dated in a home is a turn-off to a potential buyer and window treatments are one of them.
GREAT PARTY FAVORS! LIVE IN PERSON CARICATURE ON PAPER OR DIGITAL. VIRTUAL ALSO AVAILABLE.
