Swimming is a wonderful summer activity and a great way to stay cool during hot days. Swimming can impact denture wearers in several ways. *Water can disrupt the suction that keeps dentures in place, leading to loosening or dislodging. *Swimmers might accidentally swallow water, affecting denture fit and comfort. *Vigorous activities like diving can also cause dentures to shift. *Exposure to pools and natural water requires thorough cleaning afterward to remove contaminants. Denture adhesives can help secure dentures. Ensuring a good fit and maintaining proper hygiene are keys to enjoying swimming with dentures confidently.

In July, we celebrated International Self-Care Day! This serves as a reminder to prioritize your well-being throughout the entire year. It’s important to dedicate time to wellness and relaxation, as well as engage in activities that nourish your heart. Consider taking a walk through Beacon Hill Park for a natural mood boost, writing in your journal about things you’re grateful for, or attending a workshop focused on nutrition. Remember, self-care is personal and doesn’t need to be elaborate. Take a moment to breathe and be kind to yourself.

It’s wise to get your affairs in order well before it becomes necessary. If a life-altering event occurs, such as an accident, injury, or death, having plans and processes in place makes it much easier to manage. “Getting your affairs in order” means organizing your personal, financial, and legal matters to ensure everything is properly handled in the event of death or incapacitation. This process provides a clear plan for the distribution of assets, end-of-life care, and other personal matters. Remember, it’s never too early to start.
