Even with proper care at home, a denturist needs to examine your dentures at least once a year. This preventive measure helps identify any issues with your dentures or oral health before they become more serious. Regular denture examinations ensure that your dentures remain in good condition and last as long as possible. Over time, it’s common for dentures to become loose or even begin to break. This is why annual check-ups are essential to maintaining oral health and keeping the dentures fitting you as best as possible. Your dentures play an important role in your life and deserve the care and attention needed to keep them in optimal shape.

On Vancouver Island, you might be surprised to find that moss, lichen, and gloeocapsa magma (which causes black staining or streaking) on your roof are quite common. Unfortunately, many companies remove these materials improperly, using metal wire brushes that can leave your roof in worse condition than before.
At 123 Exteriors, we take a gentler, contactless approach that effectively removes moss in one simple treatment without causing any damage.
We are a small, friendly local company committed to our work. In addition to moss removal, we also offer window washing, power washing, and gutter cleaning—everything your home’s exterior needs, provided by people you can trust.

Caregiving for your loved one through serious illness can be overwhelming. It’s a role that can be isolating, exhausting and often unacknowledged. Cowichan Hospice offers a weekly group to support caregivers (alternating between online and in-person). Each participant’s circumstances are unique – some are partners or family members of people with cancer, dementia, or other medical conditions. The group share the common experience of supporting their loved ones, helping them feel connected, understood and less alone in the midst of the challenges of caregiving.
