Summer heat can affect your dentures and oral health. To keep them in top condition, rinse your dentures after meals to prevent buildup and stay hydrated to maintain oral moisture. Avoid leaving dentures in direct sunlight or hot environments, as this can cause warping. Clean them daily with a soft brush and non-abrasive cleaner to remove bacteria. For a refreshing feel, store your dentures in water with a bit of mouthwash when not in use. Regular dental check-ups are essential to ensure proper fit and function. Enjoy the summer with a confident and comfortable smile!

Keep Your Pet Cool This Summer
Did you know that heat stroke can lead to brain damage, organ failure, and death? Let’s keep your pets safe, healthy & happy. Don’t let them play hard on hot days and make sure they have access to fresh water. Before walking your pets, test the temperature of the pavement. If you can’t hold the back of your hand on the pavement for 10 seconds, it is too hot for your pets’ pads. Never leave your pet in a vehicle, even for “just a minute” while you run errands. Studies have shown that, even with the windows partially open, interior temperatures can rise to over 38 C in about 7 minutes at 31 C.
Sunscreen 101
Have you been protecting yourself against sun exposure? When selecting a sunscreen, go for the “broad spectrum” protection. Sunscreens with this label protect against both UVA and UVB rays. Make sure your sunscreen has a sun protection factor of 30 or higher. The SPF number is the level of protection the sunscreen provides against harmful rays. Higher SPF numbers do mean more protection, but the higher you go, the smaller the difference becomes. Secondly, look at the ingredients. Physical blockers (titanium dioxide, zinc oxide) provide the best protection and cause less skin irritation than chemical sunscreens.

Cortisone Injections for Injury Relief
Cortisone injections are commonly used to reduce inflammation and relieve pain from joint or soft tissue injuries. They contain corticosteroids, which mimic the body’s natural anti-inflammatory hormones. These injections are often administered directly into the affected area, such as a knee or shoulder. Relief may be felt within a few days and can last from weeks to months. Cortisone injections are typically part of a broader treatment plan, including rest, physical therapy, or other interventions to support long-term healing and prevent further injury.
