Meet Dr. Richard: A Valuable Addition to the Toothtown Dentistry 4 Kids Team, Serving the Sahuarita Community

MEET Dr. Richard, he has been with Toothtown Dentistry 4 Kids since July and we are so excited to have him be part of our team and serve the Sahuarita community!

Dr. Richard Cattron first received a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene from Texas A&M University- Baylor College of Dentistry in 2013 and began working as a Dental Hygienist for several years. He then attended the University of Louisville School of Dentistry and graduated in 2019.

Following dental school, Dr. Cattron completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) training program at a clinic that focused on treating individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities. He then completed a two-year Advanced Education in Pediatric Dentistry (AEPD) training program from NYU Langone in Tucson and loves working with children of all ages.

Dr. Cattron was born and raised in northern Montana and grew up loving camping, hiking and virtually anything outdoors. He and his wife of nearly 20 years have four children ranging in age from 2 to 18 years old. Most recently, Dr. Cattron and his oldest son completed a hike to Humphreys Peak, the highest natural point in Arizona with an elevation of 12,633 feet.

Don’t let fear drive investment decisions

IN the past year, we’ve seen some big swings in the financial markets. This volatility may make you feel as if you have little control over your investment success. But the truth is, you do have more control than you might think — as long as you don’t let fear guide your decisions.

Investment-related fear can manifest itself in a few different ways:

• Fear of loss – Some investors may emphasize avoiding losses more than achieving gains. Consequently, they might build portfolios they consider very low in risk, possibly containing a high percentage of certificates of deposit (CDs) and U.S. Treasury securities. Yet, a highly conservative approach carries its own risk — the risk of not achieving enough growth to stay ahead of inflation, much less meet longterm goals such as a comfortable retirement. To reach these goals, you’ll want to construct a diversified portfolio containing different types of assets and investments — each of which may perform differently at different times. Your objective shouldn’t be to avoid all risk — which is impossible — but to create an investment strategy that accommodates your personal risk tolerance and time horizon.

• Fear of missing out – You’re probably familiar with the term “herd mentality” — the idea that people will follow the lead of others for fear of missing out on something. This behavior is responsible for fads or the sudden emergence of “hot” products, and it’s also relevant to investing. In fact, herd mentality may contribute to sharp jumps in the financial markets as investors drive up prices by buying stocks to avoid being left behind. And the same may be true in reverse

— when the market starts dropping, skittish investors may accelerate the decline by selling stocks so they, too, can get out before it’s too late. Buying or selling investments should be considered as needed to help advance your longterm financial strategy — not in response to what others are doing.

• Fear of the unknown – Some investors fall victim to “familiarity bias” — the tendency to invest only in what they know, such as local or domestic companies. But this behavior can lead to under-diversified portfolios. If your portfolio is dominated by just a few investments, and these investments are fairly similar to each other, you could experience some losses when the inevitable market downturn occurs. To help reduce the impact of market volatility, it’s a good idea to spread your investment dollars across large and small companies in a range of industries and geographical regions. And that’s just on the equities side — it’s also wise to consider further diversifying your portfolio by owning bonds and government securities. (Keep in mind, though, that diversification can’t guarantee profits or protect against all losses.)

• Fear of admitting failure – Some individuals don’t like to admit when they’ve been wrong about something, and they may continue the same failed activities, hoping for eventual success. This behavior can be costly in the investment arena. Sometimes, a particular investment, or even an investment strategy, just doesn’t work out, but an investor is determined to stick

with it — even if it ultimately means considerable financial loss. Don’t let his happen to you — if it becomes apparent you need to change your investment approach, move on to something better.

Fear can hold us back in many walks of life — but don’t let it keep you from making appropriate investment moves. 

KB Home’s Entrada Del Pueblo community offers personalized, spacious, new homes in the highly desirable Rancho Sahuarita master plan

KB Home’s Entrada Del Pueblo is a beautiful enclave of ranch-style homes in the popular Rancho Sahuarita master plan. The new homes are designed for the way people live today, with desirable design features like modern kitchens overlooking large great rooms, expansive bedroom suites with walk-in closets, and ample storage space. The community’s floor plans feature up to four bedrooms and two baths.

Homebuyers will enjoy the master-plan’s numerous resort-style amenities, including Club Rancho Sahuarita, a multipurpose recreation center that features meeting rooms, athletic courts, a full fitness facility, kids club, playground, mini putt-putt course, sports bar, lap pool and splash park complete with water slides. Rancho Sahuarita also offers 11 neighborhood parks with playgrounds and picnic areas as well as a dog park, amphitheater, 15-acre fishing lake and 17 miles of pedestrian and biking trails.

What sets KB Home apart is the company’s focus on building strong, personal relationships with every customer — from those buying their first home to experienced buyers — so they have a real partner in the

homebuying process. Every KB home is uniquely built for each customer, so no two KB homes are the same. Homebuyers have the ability to personalize their new home, from floor plans to exterior styles to where they live in the community. Their home comes to life in the KB Home Design Studio, a one-of-a-kind experience where customers get both expert advice and the opportunity to select from a wide range of design choices that fit their style and their budget. Reflecting the company’s commitment to creating an exceptional homebuying experience, KB Home is the #1 customer-ranked national homebuilder in third-party buyer satisfaction surveys.

“KB Home is pleased to offer homebuyers in the Tucson area spacious new homes that live bigger for less,” said Amy McReynolds, President of KB Home’s Tucson division.

“Families will appreciate the master plan’s resort-style amenities, which include 11 neighborhood parks, fishing lake and Club Rancho Sahuarita, which features a recreation center, athletic courts, fitness facility, lap pool and splash park with water slides. Whether this is your first home or you’re an experienced buyer, KB Home is here to help you achieve your dream with a personalized new home

built uniquely for you and your life.”

Innovative design plays an essential role in every home KB builds. The company’s floor plans are designed for contemporary living, with a focus on creating roomy, light-filled spaces that have easy indoor/outdoor flow. KB homes are engineered to be highly energy and water efficient, and to provide healthier indoor air environments. Thanks to quality construction techniques and materials, every home KB builds is ENERGY STAR® certified — a standard that fewer than 10% of new homes nationwide meet — to deliver greater comfort, well-being and utility cost savings than new homes without certification.

The new neighborhood is convenient to Interstates 10 and 19 for easy access to downtown Tucson and the area’s major employment centers, and within walking distance of area schools, shopping, dining and entertainment.

The Entrada Del Pueblo at Rancho Sahuarita sales office and model homes will be opening in March 2023. For more information on the community or to join the interest list, call 888-KB-HOMES or visit kbhome.com. 

FEBRUARY

• February 5 - Full Moon. The Moon will be located on the opposite side of the Earth as the Sun and its face will be fully illuminated. This phase occurs at 18:30 UTC. This full moon was known by early Native American tribes as the Snow Moon because the heaviest snows usually fell during this time of the year. Since hunting is difficult, this moon has also been known by some tribes as the Hunger Moon.

• February 20 - New Moon. The Moon will be located on the same side of the Earth as the Sun and will not be visible in the night sky. This phase occurs at 07:08 UTC. This is the best time of the month to observe faint objects such as galaxies and star clusters because there is no moonlight to interfere.
