FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH for patients to throw the report at their dentists at their next visit in fact some dentists may already have faced that confrontation.

APOLLO DENTAL CARE

To Floss or not to Floss?

Recently the media reported that flossing doesn’t help, and your dentist is wrong. This single associated press report created such a big social media firestorm. Dentistry’s message of health was again foiled by a sensational story. It’s bad enough that dentists are portrayed as clowns and socially inept characters in Hollywood productions! The media jumped at an opportunity to make everyone feel good about their dereliction of duties. The report’s false implication that “flossing doesn’t work” resonates with the public because it confirms and justifies the decision not to floss in the first place and excuses someone’s lack of diligence with oral hygiene. It also opens the opportunity

The American Dental Association has contacted the U.S.Department of Health and Human Services to address its exclusion of flossing. In its official statement the American dental Association clarified that flossing was still considered a beneficial hygienic practice. The ADA statement did not make the news. The news business is all about creating a buzz. The headlines like “Your Dentist was wrong, floss doesn’t work” resonate with the public listening to the radio while driving or watching tv at home.

When a patient flosses or does not the benefits are self-evident. A selftesting method will be to take a week off of flossing and then floss and take a look at the amount of food particles which have collected in between the teeth you will feel disgusted. The story what the media reported was based on a review of previous studies which may not have proved that flossing was efficacious, but they did

not disprove it either.

Any interdental hygiene tool helps to keep the gums and teeth healthy.

It doesn’t have to be just floss, you can use an interproximal brush or a water flosser or any other gizmo.

Without it two of the five sides of the teeth are missing out from getting cleaned every day that is like not washing your feet and in between the toes when you are in the shower.

We don’t need a study to prove that is better for your health .

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.

Digital Marketing Strategy 101

If you’re trying to start a digital marketing campaign, you need to know these basics of digital marketing strategy.

Have a Goal – Every marketing campaign should have a SMART goal.

SMART stands for specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-based.

Map Your Customer Journey – Find out where you want to reach your customers, and then think of the journey that your customer will take before completing the action you want them to take. If it’s a Facebook ad that leads them to a page to subscribe to your email newsletter, for example, make sure you know exactly how your customer gets from each point to the next.

Measure Everything – Get tracking codes to measure all your customer behavior with your ad, your website, and more.

something isn’t working.

Analyze Your Results – Once the time limit from your SMART goal has passed, check the results that you got out of your campaign. Did you meet your goal? If not, check your numbers to see where things went wrong.

Let Us help you with your advertising needs today! Call our office at 925-634-0880 or email us with your questions at info@monthlygrapevine.com.

Multiple Offers And An Inspection Before Listing

In this current market when multiple offers is the norm and each buyer is looking to make their offer the strongest and most appealing.

Having inspections and disclosures available for buyers allows the buyer to be informed and reduce negotiating of repairs and possible shorten contingency time-frames.

This practice is common in many metropolitan areas.

Getting pre-inspections offers many key advantages to sellers that you may not be aware of. Having inspections before your house goes on the market ensures that you’ll find out the exact condition of your home, which makes setting a price much easier and whether to list “as-is” or

do the repairs for a better return.

Not knowing if there is something wrong with your home often adds a lot of stress to the sales process.

Selling your home is never easy, to begin with. Worrying that the sale will fall through because of something that turns up during an inspection can only add to the anxiety of the escrow process. By having a pre-inspection done, you can feel much more confident about the current condition of your home. This also allows you set your own schedule for repairs.

Buyers naturally are skeptical about a home’s condition. For many people purchasing a home will be the most money they will ever spend on a single purchase. Handing them an inspection report that details the present condition of a home will make them feel more confident about the purchase. Having a preinspection allows the buyer to make a more confident offer and often can lower the inspection contingency that will make the off stronger by cutting down the exit period to cancel.

Just because you get a pre-listing inspection does not mean you will not have to go through a buyer’s inspection as well. However by having

your own inspection and knowing the condition of your home it can help you in negotiations if the buyer inspector has a different opinion.

Quite often buyers will use the home inspection as a negotiation tool to ask for additional concessions. A pre- inspection puts the buyer on notice and that both you and the buyer are aware of any issues and all repairs from the beginning of your interaction. Negotiations still may occur, but knowing up front usually will minimize this.

While having your own inspection is an added expense it is a proactive step that puts you ahead of the curve, allowing you to see the path ahead of you much more clearly and can save you money in the long run.

You can plan better, rest easier and get a better price on your home.
