ANNUAL HOA MEETING

TUESDAY, MAY 8th @ 7PM

The Lakewood Grove HOA will be having its annual meeting on Tuesday, May 8th, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, 15415 North Eldridge Parkway, Cypress, TX 77429. At this meeting there will be a vote taken on the following item: 1. Election of one position to the Lakewood Grove HOA Board of Directors for a 3 year term. The Director position is currently held by Gloria Tann, who has indicated she will not seek re-election for that role. Any other candidates who wish to run for this position should submit their request to Elizabeth Pettit at SCS Management (281-500-7111 (office) or 281-500-7187 (fax) or epettit@ scsmgmt.com) before April 24th, in order to be added to the printed ballot for the May meeting. You may also submit a biographical profile which will also be included in the ballot. Nominations to the Board position can also be taken from the floor at the meeting. A quorum, 10% of the resident votes is required in order to meet the election requirements. You should be receiving your notice and proxy in the mail soon. You can bring your proxy to the meeting or submit it directly to SCS Management (postage paid) but must be received prior to the meeting date. You can also have a neighbor that is attending bring it to the meeting. If we do not have at least 10% of the resident’s votes the meeting will be void and consequently will cost us more money to schedule another meeting. If you have questions/concerns regarding your neighborhood, make an effort to have at least one member of your household attend the meeting. The Board has invited the Harris County Constable’s office to attend and field some of your questions/concerns. We look forward to seeing you there.

Top Ten Tips for Improving Bad Breath Suffering from bad breath, but not sure why? Think about drinking more water and using less mouthwash. Find out why and learn more ways to improve your breath with these top ten tips. Call it by its fancy name, “halitosis,” and it won’t smell any sweeter. Bad breath is frequently a sign that you’re not keeping up with your oral health. The source of this unpleasant odor is, in most cases, bacteria living on your teeth, gums or tongue. Follow these ten tips for a breath of fresh air: Brush your choppers twice each day. Better yet, brush after every meal. If you eat lunch at work or school, keep an extra toothbrush there. Also, be sure to replace your toothbrush regularly. Every few months, swap your brush for a fresh one. Reach between your teeth. Flossing daily helps you remove food particles from between your teeth, where your toothbrush just can’t reach. Flossing also helps keep your gums healthy, preventing periodontal disease, which can also lead to bad breath. If using regular floss is difficult for you, try one of the many interdental cleaners available at drugstores. Pick up an electric toothbrush. Along with floss, an electric toothbrush removes plaque better than a manual toothbrush. Treat your tongue right. Bacteria can gather on the surface of your tongue, so use a soft-bristled toothbrush or a tongue scraper to clean it every time you brush. Tap your inner teenager and chew gum. The act of chewing (sugarless!) gum stimulates the production of saliva, which naturally washes away bacteria and food particles. If you suffer from a lack of saliva due to “dry mouth,” a condition sometimes caused by medication, let us know; we can help address the problem.

Don’t fall for the myth of mouthwash. Most mouthwashes merely mask the smell of bad breath and don’t do anything to solve the underlying problem. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Drink water regularly to keep your mouth moist, and go easy on alcohol and caffeine, both of which are dehydrating. Turn off the tobacco. Smoking and chewing tobacco lead to bad breath. They also increase your risk of a host of serious health problems, from periodontal disease to cancer. Take note of what you take in. Certain diets, foods and medications can affect your breath. If your problem doesn’t appear to be oral, make a list of the foods you eat and medications you take. Review it with your dentist or your family doctor to assess the source of the problem. Call in the experts. It’s important to have your teeth professionally checked and cleaned twice a year. Your dentist can give your teeth a thorough cleaning that isn’t possible at home, as well as check for and treat early signs of problems such as cavities or periodontal disease. In rare cases, persistent bad breath can be a sign of a larger health problem. The American Dental Association lists possible medical sources of bad breath, including respiratory infection, chronic sinusitis, postnasal drip, chronic bronchitis, diabetes, gastrointestinal disturbance, and liver or kidney ailments. If your dentist suspects that your breath problem stems from a medical issue, he or she will recommend speaking with your family doctor immediately. Submitted by Dr. Flury
