Menopause is not the end of self-care. And certainly not the end of caring for your smile. 🌸
Menopause is a natural phase in every woman’s life — yet very little is said about its impact on oral health. Hormonal changes during menopause can significantly affect the mouth, teeth, and gums.
How Does Menopause Affect Oral Health?
The decline of estrogen and progesterone levels may lead to:
-
Dry mouth (xerostomia)
-
More sensitive gums that bleed or recede
-
Increased tooth sensitivity
-
Changes in taste perception
-
Bone density loss that directly impacts teeth and jaw support
Hormones play a crucial role in maintaining gum tissue health and bone stability. When these levels decrease, the mouth may become more vulnerable to inflammation, infection, and discomfort.
Why Dental Care During Menopause Is Essential
Dental care during menopause is not a luxury — it is a health necessity.
Regular check-ups, preventive care, professional cleanings, hydration support for dry mouth, and personalized treatment plans can help protect your oral health and overall wellbeing.
