Improperly fitting dentures can cause oral tissue damage, including blisters, sores, cuts, and scrapes. These injuries lead to inflammation, bleeding, and increased risk of infection. Ill-fitting dentures may also hinder chewing, resulting in poor nutrition and health problems. Jaw pain caused by poorly fitting dentures can lead to headaches and earaches due to inflammation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). A misaligned bite affects head and neck muscles, leading to TMJ pain and temporomandibular disorder (TMD). TMD limits mouth opening, impacting eating, speaking, and other issue associated with the head and neck. Book your yearly exam to make sure your dentures still fit you perfectly.

What is a Sound Bath?

What Causes Blurry Vision?
Blurry vision can be caused by various factors, including refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. These conditions occur when the shape of the eye prevents light from focusing directly on the retina. Age-related changes, such as presbyopia, can also lead to blurry vision, making it harder to focus on nearby objects. Other causes include eye fatigue, dry eyes, eye infections, and certain medications. Systemic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or autoimmune disorders may affect the blood vessels and nerves in the eyes, leading to vision problems. It is important to consult an eye care professional to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.

Is Your Carpet Making You Sick?
Do you know what’s really lurking in the carpet? The carpet attracts and hides some of the worst allergens, bacteria, germs, organisms and other hazardous particles. Dirty carpets can affect your health and the indoor air quality of your home. The average home can accumulate up to 40 lbs. of dust per year. Your carpet also harbors a number of species of bed bugs, fleas and dust mites. Mites can cause allergies through their molted skin, waste and through the mites themselves. Having your carpets professionally deep cleaned can reduce the amount of unseen pests, prevent sickness and allergies, and remove or prevent undesirable odors.
