WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?

Two Front Teeth for Christmas Here it is, four days past Thanksgiving and it is a beautiful day here in the farmlands.

With the Fall holidays in the rearview mirror, there is no sign of pumpkins anywhere.

However, as like every year in the past, our local farmers have put our wonderful Ag Core to bed for the winter with the beautifully groomed rows of our precious soil. What a wonderful time to look in on a local business who can put the finishing touches on your smile.

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 am 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. #C in Brentwood. They can be reached at 925-634-9118 or visit platinumsmilesdentistry.com.

TRAVEL TIME

based on months of customer preference research and feedback.

‘Tis the season of happiness and love and warmth and we do hope this will be a good one for all of you.

Across the fleet there will be regular retail focused activities including special promotions, giveaways and in-store parties.

In the air United Airlines has been slowly and gradually beefing up its Hawaii service from west coast markets to all of the islands. While this is a general and gradual phase in we note that on the heels of Southwest making the recent news about Hawaii service, it is no wonder United it taking these steps now rather than later.

Let’s do some news from our world this month. On some cruise ships shopping will be more evident as seen below: Carnival Cruise Line is revamping onboard shopping options with revamped retail spaces and a slew of new brands.

Southwest Airlines will begin service to the Islands Of Aloha possibly in the spring of 2018. They officially cannot make any notice about which markets it will service until the FAA approves their extended over water certification operation but once it is done the markets where service can begin will come out immediately.

The big changes will see new outlets including TAG watch shops coming to 24 ships, Effy on a dozen ships and Pandora on 10 ships.

Other major retailers include Victoria’s Secret, Swarovski and Los Cincos Soles.

“We’re committed to enhancing every aspect of our operations - which includes, of course, onboard shopping - and our expanded and enhanced retail offerings provide guests with an opportunity to enjoy some ‘retail therapy’” said Carnival’s vice president of retail, William Butler.

Butler said these brands were chosen

Celebrity

and most of us have more than one opportunity to fly In The Bubble. So, we bid adieu to her as she served us greatly and with much class.

And talking about bidding adieu we now must for the final time bid adieu to all of you. We have been with The Monthly Grapevine for more years than we remember but all good things must come an end. We want to thank the Spann family and all of their staff along the years for making us look good.

While we may appear in a promotion once in a while our monthly article will now go the way of the Queen Of The Skies.

We thank all of you for supporting us and hope that you will always remember to Getaway From Your Everyday by contacting us any day of the week as we are still here for you. Merry Christmas and a Happy 2018 to one and all.

Southwest will do this service with their new Boeing 737 Neo Aircraft.

And last month United bid a fond farewell to the Queen of the Skies aka the Boeing 747. And this month Delta did the same thing as no American carriers now fly the aircraft. It had its heyday for sure

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 a anterior open bite and a smaller lower jaw.

Lip biting and lip sucking of the lower lip can cause the upper teeth to tip

TIMELY FEATURE

Immune Boosting Tips for a Healthy Holiday Season The hectic holidays and chill in the air can take a toll on the immune system and make one more susceptible to cold weather challenges.

Stay healthy and vital all season by taking the following steps.

Be Balanced From eggnog and cookies to champagne toasts at midnight, you may be more likely to over indulge during the holiday season than at other times of the year. Be mindful of what you are eating and drinking at parties and on a day-to-day basis, and then balance out these extravagances with plenty of rest, regular exercise, healthy hydration and an otherwise nutrition-filled diet.

Get Some Support “We are learning more each day about what weakens the immune system and how we can strengthen it for better

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.

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.

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 bruxism can 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 protecting the self-esteem in children due to speech problems. Therefore, regular checkups with the dentist are highly recommended to monitor and recognize impediments

health,” says Larry Robinson, PhD, vice president of scientific affairs at Embria Health Sciences, a manufacturer of natural, science-based ingredients that support wellness and vitality. “Good immune health requires more than just getting enough vitamin C.” For some extra support this season and beyond, consider taking an immunesupporting supplement that goes further than a standard vitamin C tablet. Those that contains Embria’s ingredient EpiCor, a whole food fermentate made through a proprietary process using Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a common single-celled microorganism, have been shown in scientific studies to support the body’s ability to initiate the proper immune response at the appropriate time. For example, NOW EpiCor Plus Immunity contains Zinc, Selenium, and vitamins D-3 and C, and can give you the nutrition you need to help you make it through the holidays healthfully.

While all these statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration and this supplement is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease, many experts believe they can help maintain your daily health

Relax The holiday season is meant to be joyful.

Unfortunately, it can also be stressful.

From navigating a shopping mall parking lot on the busiest day of the year to dealing with the extended family, stress can compromise your immune response.

Use at least some of that time you may have off from work to truly relax, scheduling some down time for yourself -- whether it’s curling up with a glass of green tea and a paperback, taking a bubble bath or doing yoga.

For a happy holiday season, take steps to treat your body right and to prioritize health and wellness.

They are personalizing their space like men decking out their space with sports memorabilia, transforming their closet into a ‘man cave’. Women are adding touches of serious glamour with chandeliers and wallpaper accents. If you are building one closet, divide the sides in the closet with a distinction in product design for a his side and a her side.

Will I Lose My Retirement If I File Bankruptcy?

There are many misconceptions about bankruptcy, amongst them is the notion that people lose everything if they file bankruptcy. Fortunately, the bankruptcy laws are designed to give the honest but unfortunate person a second chance.

To facilitate that goal, the law allows bankrupt consumers to retain necessities of life (referred to as exemptions in legal terminology) while having debts forgiven. In contrast, corporations and limited liability companies are not entitled to exemptions, and if a corporation or limited liability company files bankruptcy assets are often sold to satisfy debts.

Some small corporations are owned entirely by one person which complicates matters, and requires an experienced attorney, if either the person or the corporation plans a bankruptcy.

Security as well as tax deferred retirement accounts and many other assets in and out of bankruptcy. Tax deferred retirement accounts include: 401k plans, 403b plans, 457 deferred compensation accounts, IRA’s, pensions and almost any type of employer or union sponsored retirement.

This means non-governmental creditors are prohibited from seizing exempt assets whether or not a bankruptcy is filed.

The law allows, but does not require, consumers to use retirement funds to repay debts. Often in the midst of financial turmoil people consider taking a retirement withdrawal to pay debts and avoid bankruptcy. A retirement withdrawal will usually be considered taxable income for the year the money is taken and can result in additional penalties. Money forgiven through bankruptcy is non-taxable. For some, taking a retirement withdrawal is the best choice but that choice should be made with a clear understanding of all options including bankruptcy and the corresponding tax implications.

The exemption laws protect Social

Who’s Who... in East County

The harmful effects of smog pollution in the air we breathe has become a matter of increasing concern, and people now recognize that everyone must do their part to protect the environment or there will be serious consequences. Here in California, the state requires all automobiles to be smog tested to reduce excessive discharges into the atmosphere.

Brentwood Smog Express offers vehicle inspections, testing for emissions and performance, maintenance, and registration services, granting you the opportunity to mutually protect your vehicle and the environment.

Per the Department of Environmental Protection, smog exposure leads to health issues such as irritation of the eyes, nose and throat, wheezing, coughing, asthma, and other serious breathing complications. Unhealthy air exacerbates heart and lung problems. Clearly, smog is a problem we all share.

In addition to being detrimental to humans, pollution poses a variety of other environmental threats. Smog distresses wildlife, agriculture, and our stratosphere. It is our responsibility to restore and retain the Earth’s delicate balance for the benefit of all.

Brentwood Smog Express specializes in smog repairs and performs regular smog and STAR Certified inspections. They can also assist with DMV registration services, registration renewal, licensing, vehicle title transfers and more. Contact them to learn more about state regulations and the bevy of services they offer.

Keeping your vehicle running clean extends the life of your car’s engine and protects your investment. Moreover, you can safeguard both your auto and our precious environment by visiting Brentwood Smog Express for regular emissions testing and inspection services. Appointments are available and walk-ins are always welcome.
