Many people believe that dentures last forever but the reality
is that they need to be serviced regularly and replaced about
every five years. Wearing the same dentures for more than five
years without having them checked can result in; softening of
the gums, painful and irritated gums, accelerated bone loss,
more laborious chewing and difficult digestion and a crumpled
mouth. It can also lead to headaches, ear aches, neck pain and
joint problems as well as a whole host of other issues. Regular
consultation with your denturist to have your dentures checked
and cleaned may prevent problems in the future.

Games of Chance
Many people find gambling fun and exciting… you never know if you are going to win big! It is important to understand the reason why you never know if you are going to win big. It is because all gambling games are influenced by chance; the outcome of the games cannot be controlled or predicted with certainty. If a game’s outcome was certain, it wouldn’t be gambling. Gambling games are designed to favour “the house” meaning the game operator or vendor. This is true for casino games, online games, horse racing, bingo, sports and lottery games.

Keep Your Brain Alive
The key to keeping your brain strong and healthy is to break routines and to use all five senses in unexpected ways. Our senses are the conduits the brain uses for its entire contact with the outside world. Close your eyes and walk through a room. In seconds, your world changes radically. Sounds, smells, and spatial memories of your physical surroundings leap into consciousness. With vision gone, your sense of touch suddenly becomes paramount. Navigating even a familiar environment is a real challenge and your brain goes into high alert. An active brain is a healthy brain. “Use it or lose it.” Maintaining brain health involves physical and mental exercise, stress management, and a healthy diet. Help is available.
