Staying active during the colder months can be difficult with our harsh Manitoba winters; but it shouldn’t have to be. Whether you’re heading outside, or staying in, there are many ways to stay active. Outdoors, you will need to cover any exposed skin to reduce the risk of frostbite and be sure to wear proper footwear to reduce to risk of slipping on icy surfaces. Proper footwear should have that extra tread just as a winter tire would, or supplemental attachments on the bottoms of your shoes will help dig into those slippery surfaces. If you’re staying inside, YouTube is an excellent free source of multiple types of exercises.

Eating with New Dentures
Learning to eat with new dentures can be a challenge, but with the right guidance and patience it is possible. Start with soft foods and chew slowly (this will help to avoid biting your cheeks or tongue). Purees, boiled eggs, fish, applesauce, soup (especially at this time of the year) are a great starting point. Also, it may be difficult to judge food temperatures correctly because of the insulating quality of the dentures. Touch the food or beverage to your lips before putting it in your mouth. Perseverance is the key and keep your denturist updated if any problems occur.

The two main categories are soft (or gel) lenses and rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses. Soft lenses are more popular and available in various formats to correct far-sightedness, near-sightedness, and astigmatism. RGP lenses have an important role in certain types of astigmatism and with fitting irregular corneal surfaces. All contact lenses touch eye tissue, and as such are a medical device that must be professionally fit, including training for proper handling and for important hygiene considerations.
What is Holistic Dentistry?
What is Holistic Dentistry?
In holistic dentistry, the mouth is viewed as an integral part of the digestive tract, which is crucial to overall health. A holistic dentistry practitioner takes time to educate patients on key nutrients for systemic and emotional health, the importance of restful oxygenated sleep and proper digestion, and the dangers of infected teeth and gum inflammation. Specialized technology is used in holistic dentistry, such as PRF, ozone, lasers and CBCT imaging, to properly diagnose and manage disease. In addition, only biocompatible materials are used, as opposed to ‘tolerable’ ones such as BPA-free composites, zirconia, and no amalgam silver fillings.
