Denture Tips for Arthritis Patients

Arthritis can make managing daily tasks, like maintaining dentures, more challenging. The condition often affects the hands, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced dexterity, which can complicate handling and cleaning dentures. For individuals with severe arthritis, inserting and removing dentures can become difficult, impacting oral health and overall well-being. Adaptive tools, such as denture brushes with enlarged handles or specialized grips, can make the process easier. Additionally, regular dental check-ups are crucial to ensure a proper fit, as ill-fitting dentures can exacerbate discomfort. With proper care and the right tools, individuals with arthritis can maintain their dentures and oral health effectively.

Make Social Interaction a Priority

Maintaining relationships and spending time with others is essential to our emotional and mental well-being. It can help prevent depression which affects 20 percent of the population over 70 years of age. Socializing also keeps the mind active and improvements are greater when the person is involved in fun interests with other people. Plan regular get-togethers with friends, such as a weekly lunch date or coffee with another senior or loved one. Scheduling social interactions give us something to look forward to on a regular basis. For those who are truly adventurous you can enjoy new experiences and meet new people by signing up for travel tours, book clubs, and much more at your local community centre.

Fall Prevention Tips

Falls are a leading cause of injury among older adults. Here are tips for fall prevention: *Keep moving – activities like walking and tai chi can reduce the risk of falls by improving strength, balance and flexibility. *Wear sensible shoes – properly fitting, sturdy, flat shoes with nonskid soles help with balance and stability. *Consult your healthcare provider or pharmacist – they may want to talk about your medications and health conditions if you’ve had falls previously. Changes to your vision or undiagnosed foot problems can also increase the chances of falling. Preventing falls reduces injuries and may help you stay in your home longer.
