Adjusting to Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures are dentures that are inserted into a patient’s mouth immediately after their teeth are removed. In fact, this will allow you to immediately begin learning to eat and speak with your new teeth. The advantage of immediate dentures is that you can walk away with a full smile immediately following the removal of natural teeth. However, because immediate dentures are inserted right after your dental surgery, the gums and jaw will change shape as they heal so it may be necessary to have an immediate denture adjusted. Having sore spots is normal and the denture will need to be adjusted by your denturist when they appear.
Free Wheelchair Skills Training
Nearly 300,000 Canadians use a wheelchair to improve their mobility. However, wheelchair users often receive very little training in how to use it effectively and efficiently. TEAM Wheels is a 4-week program designed to improve wheelchair mobility skills for activities that are most important to the participant. The program includes a self-managed training app along with 3 teleconference sessions with a peer trainer (an experienced wheelchair user). All training happens at home, using a computer tablet provided during the 4-week training period. The program is being offered as part of a research study, so it is entirely free for participants.

Q. What is Macular Degeneration?
A. Macular Degeneration, also known as Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), is a medical condition which may result in blurred or no vision in the center of the visual field. You cannot see fine details, whether you are looking at something close or far. But your peripheral vision will still be normal. For instance, imagine you are looking at a clock with hands. With AMD, you might see the clock’s numbers but not the hands. You are more likely to develop AMD if you: eat a diet high in saturated fat, are overweight, smoke cigarettes, are over 50 years old, have hypertension, or have a family history of AMD.

Importance of Vitamin D
With the darker winter months upon us, the sun’s rays are not strong enough for our bodies to produce sufficient Vitamin D. This is why Osteoporosis Canada recommends that most Canadian adults should take a daily vitamin D supplement. Vitamin D plays an essential role in bone health by facilitating the absorption of calcium. It also helps maintain muscles and reduce the risk of fractures caused by falls. Some studies have suggested that it may reduce the risk of certain diseases. Talk with one of our pharmacists about recommended doses or to learn more about other supplements, vitamins and minerals.
Acupuncture for Less Anxiety
Many studies involving hundreds of patients have shown evidence that acupuncture can help treat anxiety and can have similar effects as talk therapy. Acupuncture can help the body relax in a variety of ways, including 1) prompting the parasympathetic nervous system to release signals for relaxation; 2) improving the heart rate variability, which helps the body cope with stress; 3) calming the hypothalamus, which releases neurochemicals when we are under stress; and 4) helping with the flow of endorphins, the body’s own “feel good” chemicals. Acupuncture can be considered as an effective alternative to traditional pharmacological and psychological treatments.
A New Year Awaits New Possibilities
When I listen to my intuition and emotions noticing all the ways I have failed to do so in the past, it serves to align my inner compass, welcoming in authenticity and flow.
When I value my time, energy and self-worth, I release the people, situations and experiences that have failed to respect the boundaries I set and connect in with those that do, I respect myself.
When I put my values into action, I live and operate from my highest vision. Feeding my strengths and talents, infusing them into my creativity. Honoring my integrity and self-expression.
When I learn to make peace with my past, I release the pain and grief of what can’t be. Welcoming self-compassion and acceptance for what can be, I renew my life.
