To alleviate sore spots aggravated by dehydration and dry mouth, denture wearers can use soft liners in their dental prosthetics. Soft liners, composed of pliable materials like silicone, provide a cushioning layer between the denture and the gums, reducing pressure points and discomfort. This added softness can be especially beneficial for individuals experiencing dry mouth, as it helps mitigate the friction and irritation that can occur when oral tissues lack sufficient moisture. By incorporating soft liners, denture wearers can enhance comfort and reduce the likelihood of developing sore spots, resulting in better oral health and overall well-being.

Prioritizing Self-Care with Support

Move Well, Live Well
Summer is the perfect time to prioritize your physical health. Whether you’re gardening, walking, or enjoying outdoor sports, proper movement and posture can prevent pain and injury. A physical therapist can help you improve mobility, balance, and strength through personalized exercises and techniques. If you’re recovering from an injury or dealing with chronic pain, now’s a great time to take that next step in your healing journey. Acupuncture can also provide relief from pain and inflammation while supporting the body’s healing response. Regular movement improves joint health, circulation, and overall well-being—so don’t wait until something hurts to get assessed. Stay active, stay safe, and make the most of summer!
Rolling into Better Health
Rollators aren’t just mobility aids—they are the key to a healthier lifestyle. By providing stability and reducing the risk of falls, rollators encourage safe, consistent movement. Whether it’s a walk to the mailbox or a stroll through the park, staying active can improve heart health, strengthen muscles, and support joint flexibility. Regular physical activity also boosts mood, sharpens the mind, and helps manage conditions like arthritis or high blood pressure. With the added comfort of a seat and storage, rollators turn exercise into an easy, enjoyable part of everyday life. Visit us at 2346 Millar Avenue to enjoy greater independence with every step!
More Fun Than a Treadmill: Try Dancing
Let’s be honest — dancing is way more fun than a treadmill workout or lifting weights. It’s a fantastic way to stay physically active, while also giving your brain a boost. Learning to lead or follow in partner dances challenges coordination, focus, and memory. Best of all, it pulls you away from screens and into real-life social interaction. Interested in giving it a try? Just search “UofSBDC” for the University of Saskatchewan Ballroom Dance Club. With six decades of experience, they offer affordable, well-structured dance seasons. Dance for fun, fitness, and friendship—your mind and body will thank you!
