Men’s Health Dental Reminder
With June being Men’s Mental Health Month – a good reminder to emphasize the importance of dental health for our senior fathers. Good oral hygiene affects speaking, eating, and social interactions, contributing to overall mental health. As one ages, issues like gum disease, dry mouth, and tooth decay become more prevalent and can be linked to chronic conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. Encourage the men in your life to maintain regular dental care with fluoride toothpaste, flossing, and professional cleanings. A healthy diet and open communication with their dentist about new oral health concerns are crucial. Celebrate men by supporting their journey towards maintaining a healthy, vibrant smile.
Disability Tax Credit Eligibility
The Disability Tax Credit (DTC) eligibility hinges on three primary impairment categories, each with its own criteria: Physical Impairments. Mental Illness and Psychological Impairments.

Helping Our Elders to Age in Place
No one wants to admit they need help. And when health conditions change, additional support can be difficult to accept.
