Read MoreMany people are aware of the relationship between good health and long life, but have you ever considered that your mouth is a vital link between you and your overall health? The importance of regular dental care has been shown repeatedly in studies related to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, nutrition and longevity. Dental researchers have found that the best option for long term oral health is to keep your natural teeth. However, there are many options within the dental field to restore and replace teeth that have been affected by decay, fractures and periodontal (gum) disease.Gum Disease If the average person were bleeding from any other part of the body, he or she would seek immediate attention; however, many people experience bleeding gums and don't give it a second thought. The fact is that your gums are not supposed to bleed any more than your nose is.Bleeding gums is a warning sign of periodontal (gum) disease, which, if it remains untreated and unchecked, can lead to tooth and bone loss. One of the surest ways to prevent gum disease is to floss regularly (at least once a day) and see your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and assessment of the gum and bone. Your dentist will also check your mouth for any signs of oral cancer. Dental x-rays are another tool the dentist uses to find possible disease, cysts or tumors that otherwise cannot be seen in the mouth.Heart Disease and Diabetes Studies have shown a link between gum disease and a higher risk of heart disease and stroke. There are documented cases of dentists being the first to alert patients to a possible heart condition that otherwise may not have been detected until it was too late. People with diabetes also need to note that gum disease tends to be far more common and severe in diabetics. As a result, diabetics are more likely to lose their teeth. Regular (at least every 6 months) dental visits can help prevent these outcomes.
Read MoreConsider conducting a final tax planning review now to see if you can still take actions to minimize your taxes this year. Here are some ideas to get you started.Review your income. Begin by determining how your income this year will compare to last year. Since tax rates are the same, this is a good initial indicator of your potential tax obligation. However, if your income is rising, more of your income could be subject to a higher tax rate. This higher income could also trigger phaseouts that will prevent you from taking advantage of certain deductions or tax credits formerly available to you.Examine life changes. Review any key events over the past year that may have potential tax implications. Here are some common examples:Purchasing or selling a homeRefinancing or adding a new mortgageGetting married or divorcedIncurring large medical expensesChanging jobsWelcoming a babyIdentify what tax changes may impact you. Some of the major changes this year include the lowering of the child tax credit and the lowering of dependent care credit for working couples. This year also marks the first year in the last two with no pandemic related payments. If you think this could impact your situation it may make sense to conduct a tax planning review.Manage your retirement. One of the best ways to reduce your taxable income is to use tax beneficial retirement programs. So now is a good time to review your retirement account funding options. If you are not taking full advantage of the accounts available to you, there is still time to make adjustments.Look into credits. There are a variety of tax credits available to most taxpayers. Spend some time reviewing the most common ones to ensure your tax plan takes advantage of them. Here are some worth reviewing:Child Tax CreditEarned Income Tax CreditPremium Tax CreditAdoption CreditElderly and Disabled CreditEducational Credits (Lifetime Learning Credit and American Opportunity Tax Credit)Avoid surprises. Your goal right now is to try and avoid any unwanted surprises when you file your tax return. It's also better to identify the need for a review now versus at the end of the year when time is running out. And remember, you are not required to be a tax expert. Use the tips here to determine if a review of your situation is warranted.
