y Arlene J. Coloma, d.d.S., M.S. Dental professionals are often asked “Is flossing necessary, how often should I floss, and which teeth need to be flossed?” Our response is that you should only floss the teeth that you want to keep. That also applies to your child’s teeth. If your child’s teeth, whether they are baby or permanent teeth, are touching, then it is time to incorporate flossing. When teeth are touching and fit snuggly together, the toothbrush cannot thoroughly clean the teeth. Since most cavities start in between the teeth, the American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that children clean between their teeth daily with floss or another interdental aid to remove food and plaque from hidden areas. Many children, especially young ones, lack the dexterity to floss properly until around the age of 10. Parents, it is up to you to assist your children in their flossing techniques. There are many options available; trying different brands helps to find the 50 Individual loving attention Mid-day walks Contact Jen at 440-740-1090 Visit our website: www.especially4paws.com From the expertS l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l be Your Own boss, Take Charge of the Floss one that suits your child’s needs. Try waxed, unwaxed, superfloss, floss picks or electric flossers and use the one that gets the job done and has the ADA seal of approval. Performing the flossing task properly is just as important as picking the right floss. Take about 12 to 16 inches of floss and wrap most of it around each middle finger leaving an inch of floss between. Gently slide the floss down between the teeth with your thumb and index fingers while holding the floss taut. Curve the floss around the tooth to form the shape of a “C” and gently move the floss up and down on the sides of the tooth, including under the gum line. Unroll and move to a new piece of floss as you move from tooth to tooth so you don’t redistribute bacteria. Bleeding gums might occur at first, but should subside in a few days. If bleeding persists, contact your dentist. Parents, if you or your children are having difficulty maneuvering the floss, ask your dental professionals to demonstrate the proper flossing method.

The bacteria that are found with gingivitis and periodontal disease have been linked to coronary artery disease and atherosclerosis. Periodontal disease appears to make insulin resistance worse in the diabetic patient. If you have certain health problems, such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes, flossing may help to protect you from any further health complications.

y Tom Olecki Eastern Cottonwood, a type of Poplar that is present throughout Ohio, is a tree native to portions of the eastern United States. In late spring and early summer, the fruit capsules open to release their small seeds attached to many cotton-like strands. It is the continuous release of these fluffy seeds for two to three weeks that results in the common name of “Cottonwood.” During peak season the flying seeds can resemble a winter snow. This imitation snow looks pretty in early summer, but these seeds will spell death to your air conditioner and electric bill. The seeds will plug up your outdoor air conditioning units coils. The air conditioning coil is made up of aluminum fins that are spaced closely, kind of like the radiator in your car. your air conditioner requires a set amount of air to pass though this coil.

Compressors are expensive to replace (over $1,000), but a little intervention can save your money. It is best to take a look at your air conditioning coil if you can during and after the peak Cottonwood season. If you see any buildup, get it professionally cleaned. Cleaning usually involves simply spraying off the coil with water. Be careful if you want to do this yourself as you could imbed the seeds deep into your coils and make matters worse.

Also never use a pressure washer to clean this coil as you will damage it beyond repair. Other contaminants that might plug your air conditioner are dryer lint, dandelion seeds and dust, so a yearly cleaning is recommended to keep your unit working at its peak efficiency and prolong its life.
