and many toothpastes may be too abrasive for your dentures and should not be used. Also, avoid using bleach, as this may whiten the pink portion of the denture. Ultrasonic cleaners can be used to care for dentures. These cleaners are small bathtub-like devices that contain a cleaning solution. The denture is immersed in the tub and then sound waves create a wave motion that dislodges the undesirable deposits. Use of an ultrasonic cleaner, however, does not replace a thorough daily brushing.
Hosack Denture Clinic offers a wide variety of denture related services and products. Whether you are considering your first dentures, dental implants, partial dentures or you need repairs or replacement of existing dentures.

Let’s look at 5 quirky and interesting trademarks and copyright facts.
1. In Canada, a trademark can’t be scandalous, obscene, or immoral. However, what that means exactly is open to interpretation. In 1992, an objection to the trademark ‘Miss Nude Universe’ was rejected by the Canadian Federal Court. In their decision, the court stated that nude was a ‘perfectly acceptable adjective’.
2. You can’t trademark a colour. …unless it’s tied to a particular size or shape!
3. Your copyright survives you. In most cases, copyright expires 50 years after the death of the creator.
4. Ideas aren’t protected by copyright. …only the expression of the idea is protected.

Benefits from Disruption
You are living through major disruptions. The way you communicate has changed. From letters taking a week to travel by mail, you can now send a text message or an email and expect it to be read in seconds.
In the recent past, you had to go into a video store and rent a DVD. Blockbuster video never did embrace digital video rentals and suffered greatly. Netflix
transitioned from mailing DVDs to digital video services. Now nearly all video can be accessed digitally from a smart phone as Netflix experiences great success. Kodak never did embrace digital photography as it could have and went bankrupt in 2012.
Uber is the largest taxi company in the world and it owns no taxis. Airbnb is the largest accommodations provider in the world and it operates no hotels. These are disruptions to previously comfortable industries who are reeling from the changes. You are likely to buy something on Amazon for a third of the price you would pay in a store like Sears. Only thing is Sears is closing its doors….
What about you? What will you do when major disruptions happen to you personally? Will you continue to fight the changes, insisting on the old methods of living your life? Or will you adapt, grow, change, and find a way to thrive with the disruptions that happen to you?
It’s so easy to focus on the seemingly horrible circumstances that seem to change the rules regarding the life you had. Instead, you might just be able to find a way to adapt and possibly benefit from a disruption in your life.
Rooms are nice and clean. Hotel was either at capacity or close to it but we heard no noise from the rooms on either side so nice sound proofing! The only extra we used was the breakfast. There was a very nice selection and once again the area was kept clean and organized. Will definitely stay there again. - Evelyn Dieterle
Clean rooms, beds were comfortable and the pillows were also good. We enjoyed the pool and waterslide. Breakfast in the morning had a variety of things to choose from. - Johnny Twoshoes
The staff are always friendly, and efficient. It means lots when we are in the industry that we are in. The hotel is always clean, as the rooms are too. We have stayed at this location a ton, and have never had to ask for anything at the front desk. - Anonymous
Excellent quality and value for the price conscious traveller. Very good service. Also welcome pets, which is important to us. - Anonymous
Flexible • Affordable • Comprehensive on Benefits
Jonathan Bolton
Oftentimes people wait until they are older, have more responsibilities, or have a family to start considering their need for life insurance. But why are we waiting? Now is the time!
If I had a nickel for every time I heard someone say that they wish they purchased their life insurance in their 20s I would be filthy rich. Okay I would probably only have about $12, But I have heard it a lot!
So why does life insurance make sense now? Life insurance is going to make sense when you have financial needs that outweigh your assets if you were to pass away. And we all have those: student loans, car loans, etc.
Here are 4 reasons why you should you consider it today
1. Younger= Cheaper
The younger you are, the better rates you can lock in as the premium will relatively remain the same for the entire duration of the policy (based on no changes being made to the policy) which will reduce the total amount spent over your lifetime. This is because the younger you are, the healthier you are.
Therefore healthy also equals cheaper. You are in the prime of your life, acquiring a policy now ensures that the cost will remain low when health conditions come up as you age. This keeps you protected no matter what life will throw at you.
For example, a non- smoking 25-year-old woman looking at a 30-year term policy with a 250k face value would be about $18/ month vs at 35 that same policy would be about $30 a month. Almost double! Getting this policy at 25 would save you over $4000 over 30 years. This could be your cost of waiting to get life insurance.
2. Protects loved ones.
Having a plan in place would make sure your family has a secure future, it could pay off a mortgage, car loans, or funeral costs leaving your family with paid off assets and their only worry is missing you. It protects your partner from having to worry about covering these costs
Lots of us in our 20s or even 30s do not currently have any children and maybe not even a spouse but that doesn’t mean you never will. However having an insurance policy could protect your parents or a loan co-signor from the burden of your debts. As your family grows, so can your life insurance. You can add dependents (like children) to your policy, which could help cover them later in life as well.
3.
Build Credit
Building credit can be quite the task when you are first starting out on your own. If you opt for a permanent policy, then you are able to build credit you can bank on. Literally! As the cash value of the policy grows, you will be able to borrow against it. Which makes building your future that much easier.
4. Future protection
If you opt for a paid up in 20 whole life policy at age 20 then by age 40 its fully paid for! For the rest of your life. It will just sit there accumulating value while you are out enjoying life, vacations, holidays, etc. It will be there until you die or, if you decide you no longer need it, you can cash it in for its surrender value which could cover years of retirement expenses or any large, unexpected costs later in life.
This table should give you a better idea of your possible savings if you were get insurance now vs later.
The future is unpredictable. Having a policy in place gives you the peace of mind that your future is secure, and your current or future family is protected. Its so much more affordable than you may think especially at a younger age.
Do something today that your future self will thank you for.
One of the first things many people think when their neck gets sore, or they have a knotted muscle in their back is ‘I need a massage.’ As an instinctual reaction to pain, it is an entirely correct one – a massage will relax the tension in the sore muscles, sooth and smooth out the knots, and bring forth
whole body relief from the pain. The problem of the moment is solved, and you feel better.
Visiting your massage therapist only when your pain begins to affect your ability to function normally, is akin to taking a couple Advil and laying down when you’ve got a truly bad headache. The symptoms of the moment get treated but the most likely outcome is that eventually those symptoms will come back… because most instances of neck, back or body pain are caused by things like habitual, repetitive motions, long hours standing or sitting while at work, or poorly designed work stations. Unless we stop doing the things that cause the pain, or alter how we do them, the pain will eventually come back because the tension, strain, or limitations on the
muscles is still occurring.
Just as we brush our teeth daily to prevent tooth decay and cavities, getting regular massage therapy can help prevent reoccurrence of muscle pain. With regular massage therapy treatments our body learns how to release the tension more easily, as well as how to process it more quickly. Finding a schedule that best benefits your body and lifestyle is the key – this may mean getting a 45 minute massage every other week, or it could mean getting 90 minute massage once a month. Once you find the right schedule you’ll discover that not only does your body feel better all the time, but that you suffer from neck, back, or body pain with far less frequency and less severity.

Alberta’s Most Advanced 3 Tesla MRI
What is a tesla, and why does magnetic field strength matter?

The tesla (T) is the unit of measurement which quantifies the strength of a magnetic field. Prior to the 3T machine, the high-field standard was 1.5T. Our scanner generates a magnetic field that is twice the strength of 1.5T machines and 10 to 15 times the strength of low-field or open MRI scanners. The magnetic field produced by our 3T Magnetom Skyra MRI system yields exceptional anatomic detail. So, if a picture is worth a thousand words, the 3T MRI is an encyclopedia. The increased image clarity revealed by 3T is particularly beneficial for pathological conditions involving the brain, spine, and musculoskeletal system.

• 550lb table weight capacity
• increased signal to noise ratio (SNR)
• increased spatial resolution
• Contrast enhanced studies available
• increased temporal resolution
• Table weight capacity is typically 350lbs or less
• Contrast enhanced studies may not be available
The increased spatial resolution of the 3T scanner also allows for high-quality vascular imaging, so 3T MR Angiogram studies may often replace the need for invasive interventional catheter studies.
The 3T Magnetom Skyra is extremely efficient. Offering a larger bore and higher weight capacity, the 3T machine maximizes patient comfort while providing exceptional image quality. The superb reliability of high-field MRI allows our dual-certified (Canadian Fellows / American Board-certified) Radiologists to differentiate between benign and potentially hazardous medical conditions with confidence. This allows your health care team to provide you with earlier diagnosis and treatment, subsequently leading to more positive outcomes.

Bone Resor ption

When all or some of your teeth are missing, the jawbone is not being stimulated and as a result the area of bone in which teeth are missing deteriorates rapidly In addition, as the bone shrinks away your muscles migrate, or pull back from their natural position. Complete tooth loss and the deterioration of the jawbone can also result in significant overall health problems related to improper digestion, from not being able to chew your food properly Over time, as the bone shrinks as
There are currently tens of millions of people living without most or all of their original adult teeth; a state referred to as ‘edentulism’. In fact, according to statis tics released by the US Center for Disease control, the number of edentulous adults in the US is a staggering 20 million. The traditional approach to treating edentu lism and partial edentulism was to enable patients to be able to eat, speak and smile with a degree of confidence. However, removable conventional dentures also bring a whole set of challenges which can drastically lower one’s self-confidence and overall quality of life. Are you tired of your conventional dentures moving around in your mouth, causing you pain, are you afraid of sneezing, coughing, for fear they may fall out of your mouth? Are you limited to the types of food that you can eat?

Thankfully, there is a revolutionary tooth replacement solution available to patients who are in need of a brand new stable set of teeth. So what is the comprehensive and long-term solution to tooth loss? All-on-4® permanent dentures in a day.
All-on-4® Permanent Dentures in a Day
This technique was developed to provide patients with total tooth loss with an efficient treatment using only four dental implants to support a full denture.
Two dental implants are placed vertically in the front of the jawbone, with the remaining two dental implants placed at an angle at the back of the jaw, thereby requiring less bone.
With the All-on-4® technique, the bone to implant contact is optimized and the need for bone grafting is minimized. The angled implants can be anchored in much better quality bone found in the front of your jawbone. Tilting the implants also helps avoid vital structures, such as the sinuses and nerves.
