PATRICK MCCARRAN
can live with (and in) for many years. As your agent, the Realtor is representing your best interests.
Losing Out On Multiple Offers? How About A New Home? Multiple offers and bidding wars getting you down? Then you may want to consider a new construction home. Many builders have available models when you walk in and you can make an offer. You can get an answer quickly without multiple bidders and escalation offer prices. Did you know that you can be represented by your own agent when you purchase a New Home? You may not think it is necessary to involve a real estate professional in a transaction where the buyer can deal directly with the builder. Think again! The builder’s agent is representing the builder’s best interest. As your buyer’s agent a Realtor can guide you along the right path and help ensure you make a decision you
Your agent can assist you as you face hundreds of design choices and consider which upgrades provide the best value in terms of resale and whether to upgrade from an outside vendor. The upgrades or options available will vary from builder to builder and the choices you make will depend on largely personal decisions. Often a buyer can pay far less after the home is built by contracting with a third party but price is not always the only consideration. You need to consider the convenience, cosmetic ramifications and if it is even feasible to perform after the home is built. The lender approval process may go smoother if your agent schedules visits, accompanies you to lenders, and helps expedite required documents. When relocating to a new area, your agent can be a particularly valuable resource. In addition to providing local area information regarding schools, day care, elder care services, medical offices and doctors, public transportation,
proposed development, and so on. Once construction is under way, your agent can periodically stop by the work site, supply you with progress reports, and photograph various phases of the construction. REMEMBER the builder will require your agent to accompany you on your first visit to the site. So let your Realtor shop with you. It is not an inconvenience for them, it is their job. By now, you should be convinced of a real estate professional’s value as you search and purchase a new construction home. Still, here’s one more great reason to work with an agent—the builder pays the agent’s commission. You enjoy individual attention and support at NO cost to you. What a great way to start life in a new home!

FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH APOLLO DENTAL CARE
dissolvable fine milled tobacco, combined with candy flavors and look like pellets and these are also held between the gum and lower lip, some of them are available as films and are placed on the tongue where they dissolve.
Smokeless Tobacco Use And Dental Health In the United States in the last decade the sale of smokeless tobacco has been increasing unlike the declining market trends for cigarettes. As a reaction to smoking bans it has been found that smokeless tobacco is being marketed as a way to use tobacco in smoke-free environments like restaurants, airplanes and work places. Smokeless tobacco use is a risk factor for cancer of the oral tissues and pharynx, gum disease, gingivitis, cavities, bad breath, tooth loss, teeth stains and nicotine addiction. smokeless tobacco has been associated with low birth weight infants and also pancreatic cancer. Smokeless tobacco comes in many forms like chewing tobacco, snus or as moist snuff which is placed and held between the lower lip and gingiva and both these forms cause excess salivation which has to be spit out frequently.. Other forms of smokeless tobacco consist of
Risk taking behaviors often are established early in life particularly during adolescence. Adolescents have reported being curious about new smokeless tobacco products. A study of snus sales indicated that under aged buyers were successful in their purchase attempts more easily than that of successful purchase of cigarettes. Although advertisements for tobacco products are required by law to include warnings in boldfaced type stating that all forms of tobacco can cause oral cancer, the message is diluted by means of glamorous advertisements, price discounts, flavorings, convenient packaging and promotional allowances have been effective in generating sales. The use of smokeless tobacco as harm reduction strategy or as an alternative to smoking is controversial because people may equate less harmful with safe. Smokeless tobacco use may lead to smoking and using other combustible tobacco products like electronic nicotine delivery systems, bidis or cigars. Tobacco companies invest millions of dollars to
promote the use of smokeless tobacco and have tried to make products appear popular, glamorous, and trendy. It is important to strengthen awareness for adolescent dental patients who are at risk of using smokeless tobacco and smoking. Getting educated about this habit and being knowledgeable about associated behavioral factors like riding in a vehicle with someone who is drunk, using marijuana, smoking can help them to make better choices and to stay away from these habits. Parents should be aware that dentists have the opportunity to educate, intervene and provide tobacco use cessation programs in the normal course of providing dental care. 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.
