Oral health is important for everyone, including denture wearers. Gum disease, dental decay, and tooth loss are some of the main problems that denture wearers experience, so it is important to take good care of your gums, any remaining natural teeth, and to keep your partial or complete denture(s) clean and properly fitted! If gums, natural teeth, partials, and complete dentures are not cleaned properly, you are likely to experience a build-up of plaque, leading to bad breath, cavities, gum disease and further tooth loss. Denturists play an integral role in the maintenance of your oral health. Be sure to book an appointment today.

Is Your Carpet Making You Sick?
Do you know what’s really lurking in the carpet? The carpet attracts and hides some of the worst allergens, bacteria, germs, organisms and other hazardous particles. Dirty carpets can affect your health and the indoor air quality of your home. The average home can accumulate up to 40 lbs. of dust per year. Your carpet also harbors a number of species of bed bugs, fleas and dust mites. Mites can cause allergies through their molted skin, waste and through the mites themselves. Having your carpets professionally deep cleaned can reduce the amount of unseen pests, prevent sickness and allergies, and remove or prevent undesirable odors.
Get Relief From Your Allergies
Spring is finally here, and that means seasonal environmental allergies will be on the rise. Seasonal allergies develop when the immune system overreacts to something in the environment, like mould spores or pollen. For people struggling with seasonal allergies, this is a difficult time of the year. Luckily, at LifeSmart we run an environmental allergy clinic. See one of our walk-in physicians, or your family doctor and have a referral sent today to 204-287-5221.
In addition, our pharmacists can prescribe several over-the-counter and prescription products to minimize the severity of your symptoms. Spring is meant to be enjoyed, so don’t let allergies bring you down.

Youthful Radiance with Sculptra®
Sculptra® is the original injectable collagen stimulator, featuring microparticles of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA), which helps restore facial skin structure for long-lasting improvement. By stimulating natural collagen production, it firms and smooths the cheek region and tightens the jawline. Treatment areas include the cheeks, where it improves skin quality for firmer, glowing skin; smile lines, softening facial folds and wrinkles; and marionette lines, smoothing the lines from mouth to chin. Typically, 3 sessions are required over a few months.

Benefits of Cupping Massage
Cupping massage, used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries, is known for its powerful pain relief and muscle recovery benefits. By creating suction on the skin, it boosts circulation, loosens deep muscle tightness, and accelerates healing. This technique is effective for almost any area of the body, helping with chronic pain, sports injuries, and muscle stiffness. It breaks up adhesions, reduces inflammation, and enhances mobility, making it a great choice for athletes and anyone dealing with chronic tension. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or just need relief, cupping offers a natural and effective solution for pain.
Balance: Don’t Lose It!
How’s your balance? Do you find that if you’re not using it, you’re losing it? Practicing balance exercises and skills as we age can significantly decrease the risk of falling, which can help to avoid all kinds of injuries! Our eyes, our inner ear, and our proprioception (position sense in our muscles and joints) all contribute to our sense of balance. If there are deficits with any of these three systems, it can lead to falls. A personalized physiotherapy balance assessment and program takes only minutes out of your day, and can help you keep your balance!
