The Norwex® Adult Silver Care Toothbrush inhibits bacterial growth and buildup and self-sanitizes within hours of use! On contact with water, the silver on the unique bristle base releases active ions that eliminate up to 99.9% of the bacteria that cause plaque, cavities, and gingivitis. Includes a toothbrush and refill. Comparative tests between Silver Care and traditional toothbrushes show reduction level of Streptococcus mutant (the principal cavity-forming bacteria) on the brush! As a bonus add in our new Lysere™ Toothpaste with probiotics and/or Mouthwash with antioxidants to help nourish and balance the good bacteria and keep the bad bacteria at bay!

Call any time or meet with us in our new location: 1633D Quebec Avenue.
April is Oral Health Month
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 and dental hygienists play an integral role in the maintenance of your oral health. Be sure to book an appointment today.
Stress-Free Pet Medications
Did you know that we can treat all members of your family for their health and wellness? Trying to get pets to take medications can be challenging – they might spit it out, run and hide, or put up a fight. The good news is that if you have a four-legged friend in your home, we can also compound specialized medication for them. Whether it be transdermal creams, flavoured liquids (fish, beef, or liver, to name a few), or chewable animal treats… you name it, we can get creative and help make medication less stressful for both you and your pets!

Tetra Society of NA – Regina Chapter
Tetra recruits volunteers who work with clients to design and build assistive devices that are custom-made for the individual – these are devices that are either not available commercially or cost-prohibitive. As a non-profit organization, Tetra raises funds to deliver this program, including covering the costs of volunteer travel and materials for devices up to $500 per project.
Tetra’s core focus is to address barriers that affect a person’s ability to live life independently due to obstacles in their environment. One of Tetra’s founding principles is that people are not marginalized by their disability, but by obstacles in their environment. Tetra works to reduce or eliminate these obstacles. Over the past 30+ years, Tetra volunteers have built devices that support:
- Communication
- Eating and drinking
- Completing household chores and personal care
- Mobility

Finding the Right Matchmaker
Curious about seeking out matchmaking services, but don’t know where to start or what to look for? While many people may advertise themselves as matchmakers, it takes a special skillset to truly excel. Some important questions to ask prior to investing in a matchmaking service include: 1) How long has the company been in business? More than 5 years is ideal. 2) Are they upfront with their fees and do they have a legal contract? 3) Do they have any references? 4) Do they have a professional website and social media presence? 5) What is their process?
