Is Sugar Harmful for Denture Wearers?
Sugar can significantly impact the oral health of denture wearers. Though dentures aren’t susceptible to cavities, sugars in the diet still encourage bacterial growth in the mouth. Bacteria feed on sugars, which leads to plaque buildup on dentures and gums, potentially causing bad breath, gum irritation, and infections. If dentures aren’t cleaned thoroughly, sugar residue can create a sticky environment for bacteria to thrive. High sugar intake also increases the risk of oral thrush, a common fungal infection for denture wearers. Limiting sugary foods and drinks, maintaining proper denture hygiene, and rinsing after meals help keep the mouth healthy.

Men’s Health Awareness
Movember is a significant annual event that shines a spotlight the health issues of men of all ages. During the month of November, often referred to as “Movember,” men are encouraged to grow mustaches to raise awareness and funds for critical men’s health concerns. This campaign not only highlights issues like prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health but also encourages open conversations about them. By participating in Movember, we can show their solidarity and support for these causes while emphasizing the importance of regular check-ups, early detection, and mental well-being. It’s a powerful movement that unites communities to improve the health and well-being of men of all ages.
Time for a Denture Reline?
Has it been some time since your last visit to the denture clinic? Most individuals will experience measurable change every two years with how dentures fit due to bone loss. Bone loss allows dentures to shift more when chewing which dramatically increases pressure and accelerates bone deterioration. Left unchecked, this loss can lead to fit issues and bone mass damage. Some indications that more significant bone loss has occurred are: *food entrapment under plates, *looser feel, *frequent sore spots or *less ability to chew. A reline procedure can be used to restore your denture back to proper function. Call us for more information.

Men’s Health
Although November is a great yearly reminder to think about prostate, testicular and mental health, men should be focusing on their physical and mental well-being every month. It’s important for men to take charge of their own health. A good first step is to find out how well your body is functioning so you can target any areas that need assistance. One of the best ways to accomplish this is through nutritional testing and supplementation. If an area is found to be weak or underperforming, specific, natural formulations can be taken to boost and maximize your body’s ability to function optimally, so you can have a better quality of life every month.
