Pain in the Mouth?
Every now and then, denture wearers may complain about irritation, pain, or even sore gums. Ill-fitting dentures are a primary culprit, leading to pressure points and sore spots. Over time, natural bone resorption changes the shape of the ridge(gum), making initially well-fitting dentures uncomfortable. Poor oral hygiene, including sleeping with your dentures in, can cause gum inflammation, exacerbating discomfort. If dentures are not properly aligned, they can affect bite and jaw alignment, causing facial pain, headaches, jaw and joint discomfort, and many other symptoms associated with TMJ disorder. Regular denture check-ups are crucial for maintaining comfort and oral health.

Living with Type 2 diabetes presents challenges that impact daily life and finances. The Canada Disability Tax Credit (DTC) provides financial assistance to those with disabilities, including Type 2 diabetes. Proper documentation is crucial for the DTC application. Applicants must have their condition documented by medical professionals, highlighting specific limitations and challenges. This increases the chances of qualifying for financial support. Receiving the DTC can help indi-viduals manage their condition and improve their quality of life. Understanding the requirements and submitting thorough documentation is key to accessing this valuable assistance.
Are You A Mosquito Magnet?
Did you ever wonder why some people are mosquito magnets, while others are hardly bothered? One theory is based on the fact that your skin is a source of elimination. Eat too much garlic, and it will literally come through your pores. If sugars are not metabolized properly, the byproducts must be eliminated, and one of those pathways is the skin. It is believed that mosquitos are attracted to the excess metabolized sugar. Vitamin B1 is known to help the body burn sugars more efficiently, thereby reducing excess sugar coming out of the pores, and your skin from attracting mosquitos. Nutritional testing can reveal if you are lacking B1 and other essential nutrients that are making you a mosquito magnet.
