FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH APOLLO DENTAL CARE

Ankylosing Spondylitis and Dentistry Oral health is an important part of systemic health.

We are beginning to understand more and more links between poor oral health and other diseases of the body such as the link between gum disease and respiratory or cardiovascular disease. Recent research has indicated an association between chronic incurable diseases like gum disease and rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Anyone who has experienced these types of arthritis firsthand or in a family member or friend understands how life changing it can be.

Ankylosing spondylitis is an autoimmune disease which causes chronic inflammation of the joints, mainly the spine and the pelvis, and can cause eventual fusion of the spine. Men are affected more than women in a ratio of 3:1. It is a very painful condition.

Spondylitis can affect the temporomandibular joint. About 10% of those affected with ankylosing spondylitis experience limited movement of the TMJ. Loss of teeth due to gum disease or cavities can alter the bite leading to further degeneration of the joint. Clenching and grinding teeth can aggravate the TMJ pain as well. The majority of those with TMJ pain achieve relief of symptoms with conservative treatment. Spondylosis can lead to osteoporosis which can affect bone remodeling leading to loss of teeth and TMJ problems and even jaw fractures. Depending on the degree of osteoporosis activity, rheumatologists or physicians may prescribe bisphosphonate which prevents bone deterioration. This drug runs a slight risk of causing osteonecrosis (unhealing or crumbling of the bone) if the patient gets a tooth removed. So, it is extremely important for the dentist to know if you ever had to take bisphosphonate therapy.

Spondylitis can cause secondary Sjogren’s Syndrome that leads to dryness of the eyes and mouth. The salivary glands may get swollen. Dry mouth causes severe tooth decay

and gum disease because saliva is important in remineralization of the enamel, which in turn protects the enamel surface from getting destroyed by the bacteria in the mouth. A strict regimen of oral hygiene is important along with salivary replacement therapy to protect the teeth and the gums.

Therefore, your visit to the dentist is important to the health of the rest of the body, not just your teeth and gums and at your initial dental appointment, it is important to discuss your health history with your dentist. Early intervention can lead to appropriate preventative management thereby minimizing negative health consequences of tooth decay or gum disease leading to loss of teeth.

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.

All You Need To Know About Email Marketing Email marketing is one of the top ways to communicate with customers and add to your base of customers. There are many choices to make in email marketing and it can become overwhelming.

Offer coupons to new customers who sign up for your marketing email list. Put a form on your website where customers can sign up and set the form to email automatically new customers a coupon when they submit the form. This encourages customers to agree to allow you to send them marketing materials so that you won’t be accused of sending out spam.

In order to ensure that every single customer on your list has given their permission for you to email them, you should have customers opt-in to your list twice before you send the first email.

Although this might seem unnecessary, this guarantees that this person wants to view your emails. As a result, it eliminates the chance that you get into trouble.

Look at how spammers run their messages, for a lesson in what you should never do. Sign up for free email accounts,

roughly $60 per $100,000 borrowed which in this market translates to a monthly increase of around $360 to $720.

Interest Rates on the Rise: How Does that Affect me?

You may be aware that The Fed has recently raised the rate at which banks borrow and coupled with market volatility home loan interest rates have risen dramatically and sooner than most expected. The predominant question in everyone’s minds is will the market crash? In my opinion the answer is that it will not crash.

Many of the trends that have been driving the market upward are still in place and the forecast that most likely the housing market is will stay strong.

Unlike the great recession current loans are based on tangible qualifications and terms are largely 30 fixed not variable rate neg-am loans.

It does mean that borrowing is now more expensive than it was last month.

The impact this has on Buyer s and Sellers is instant. An increase of one percent can affect the payment by

translates to lower-interest rates. A better credit score is more money in your pocket, and as a Seller If you haven’t already, take a look at your current mortgage rate and consider refinancing if better rates are available, but be mindful of the costs associated with refinancing.

This impacts you because as it costs more to borrow money many wouldbe homeowners may postpone their purchase in this regard. The demand for homes on the market may slow down a bit considering higher rates.

However the supply is project to remains constricted due to fewer homes hitting the market. This doesn’t mean it will become a buyers’ market.

Buyers demand is expected to stay strong with a strong economy and many new millennial buyers entering the market. Sellers will need to understand that comparable sold price from last month may need to be tempered and may need to adjust expectations of multiple offers and over asking.

While rising rates will bring “sticker shock” to many buyers who have gotten used to the historic and unusually low rates of the last few years, I would remind Buyers that interest rate are comparatively still very low. Current rates are quite a bit under the 97/8 that I paid for my first home and the 16.5 that my parents’ generation paid. In my opinion what matters most is what you can qualify for and afford and how that payment compares to the cost of renting, Remember that buying a home translates to equity and stability, but when renting the landlord could sell tomorrow. If you are selling then the market you are moving into is most likely slowing as well. Interest rates are still quite affordable. So yes, it is still a good time to buy or sell.

As a Buyer you may need to rethink your search, think of this purchase as a first step and plan on moving up in the next few years and either transfer your equity or keep your initial home as an investment.

Some advice for Buyers or Seller is to lessen the effect would be to revisit your budget and look at ways to lower personal debts. Review your credit report and check all the things that may be negatively impacting your credit score. A higher credit score generally
