Women’s unique dental needs

At different stages in their lives, women are more at risk for periodontal (gum) disease due to changing hormone levels.

Fluctuating hormones during puberty and menstruation can result in swelling and changes in the gums.

During pregnancy, there is a risk for pregnancy gingivitis as well as tooth decay due to morning sickness and diet changes.

Menopause can cause problems in the mouth ranging from dry mouth and altered taste to gum disease.

Regular check-ups and personalized home care advice can help you protect your teeth at any age.
