Dry mouth is a condition that involves the salivary glands not producing enough saliva to adequately keep the mouth moistened. This lack of saliva can alter the fit and comfort of dentures, since saliva helps dentures retain their suction and stay in place and also has a lubricating effect that keeps dentures from rubbing on the gums and creating sores. Those who take certain medications, are older, use tobacco and alcohol, or snore while they sleep, are more susceptible to dry mouth. If you’re experiencing dry mouth symptoms as a denture-wearer, contact your denturist to discuss your options.

Here at Saskatoon Services for Seniors we strive to make a difference every day. We do this though helping Seniors to remain in their own home for as long as safely possible. Two of our key services, especially in Spring, are Yard work and gardening programs. We are currently looking for volunteers to help with these programs. If you are interested in helping seniors in our community please contact our office today. We are very thankful to all of our wonderful volunteers who help us to provide services to the seniors in our community.

Services include lawn cutting, spring and fall cleanup of leaves, gardening, flower beds and weeding. As with all of our services we can provide as much or as little based on what your needs are. We can also do small hedge trimming and pruning. As always if cost is a barrier we will work with you to overcome that barrier. During spring and fall we can also do outside window cleaning and eaves cleaning as well.
