The teeth and gums can be affected by the hormonal changes experienced during menopause. During this transition you should visit your dentist to ensure you maintain good dental health.
Key takeaways:
– Decreasing estrogen can impact oral health, including dry mouth with less saliva to protect teeth from bacteria and acids.
– The alveolar bone which helps support the teeth may be less dense due to osteoporosis during menopause.
– Gum disease may become worse as other oral issues get worse, causing tooth sensitivity and loose teeth.
“Gum disease can also contribute to loose teeth, so if you’re experiencing osteoporosis along with gum disease after menopause, you may be at a higher risk for tooth loss.”
