FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH APOLLO DENTAL CARE

to get worse. Even when it doesn’t hurt, untreated gum disease will eventually take its toll resulting in tooth loss. About 80-90% of the population has some level of gingivitis or periodontitis and about 7% are being treated. Gum disease causes about 70% of all losses of permanent teeth.

Why All The Fuss About Periodontal Gum Disease?

Most older patients want to keep their teeth longer and want to get the best that dentistry has to offer like implants and elective aesthetic procedures. There are some challenges associated with overall health conditions and dental needs as we age. all the fuss about periodontal-gum-disease? Why all the lectures at your hygiene appointments? For a very good reason.

Periodontal disease is progressive - meaning if it doesn’t stabilize or show signs of healing, it is bound

The course of gum disease proceeds in spurts of activity over time. In type I cases-gingivitis-we find the gums inflamed or swollen.

A crevice or pocket between the tooth and gum has deepened to about 4mm, indicating early detachment of the supporting structures. The bone is still in good shape. As pockets deepen to 4 to 6mm, you’re on your way to early periodontitis. Gum inflammation extends into the bone beneath, which begins to erode in type II. In types III and IV periodontitis, we’re racing with the clock. Pockets deepen further still, and teeth

begin to move and without surgical intervention the teeth could be lost.

There is a bright side gum disease is treatable. Since we can treat every stage of the disease, our practice has helped patients save their teeth and bring oral tissues back to health and vitality. So depending on your periodontal health situation a 6-month or a 4- month recall visit to the dentist is recommended and always remember brushing and flossing everyday is still the rule.

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.

PATRICK MCCARRAN

Understanding Home Inspections Purchasing your home is one of the biggest thrills of your life, but it can also quickly become overwhelming.

Whether you are buying a new or a resale home it is important that you look underneath the staging, perfect floor-plan, or location and see what may be hiding that could impact your dream home and pocketbook.

condition of the home, but also help foresee any immediate or future necessary additional costs that may go unnoticed by the untrained eye.

Home inspections start at around $500 depending generally on the size of the home. I believe it’s money well spent.

A standard home inspector’s report will cover the basic condition of the home’s heating system; central air conditioning system (temperature permitting); interior plumbing and electrical systems; visual of the roof, visual of the attic and insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors; the foundation, basement and structural components.

Enter the home inspector. A home inspector performs a basic physical inspection of the structure and systems of your prospective home. This means that while you may love the beauty of the living room’s wood floors, your inspector can tell if the floor will truly last.

I have always viewed a home inspection much like a visit to the doctor for a physical from a general practitioner, if there are any problems or concerns you are referred to a specialist such as a cardiologist. A home inspection works in a similar manner, if there is a concern about the foundation you are recommended to a structural engineer, plumbing to a plumber etc.

The home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a home, from roof to foundation. The inspection will determine not only the present

The inspection will show the positive and negative aspects of a home, as well as the maintenance that will be necessary to keep it in good shape.

After an inspection you should have

Per Head

a much clearer understanding of the value and needs of the property.

I think it is important to note that even if a house needs repairs, it shouldn’t always be the cause for getting out of a sale. No house is perfect and as long as you know ahead of time what needs to be done and are comfortable with the cost and possibly the ramifications, knowing about an issue before closing gives you the peace of mind before you close or often make an offer. The home inspection can give you a great starter list of what needs to be done to really make moving in that much easier. Don’t be shy about asking questions and getting a clear understanding.

I would like to note that home inspectors are not licensed or certified by the State so do your research to make sure your inspector is qualified. I recommend that they are members of an association with certification criteria and a standard of practice such as ASHI. Patrick McCarran is a local Realtor and Broker.
