Menopause is a completely natural and normal process that involves a change in the hormonal environment of women.

Hormones regulate our physiology, so this change can sometimes cause alterations in the functioning of the body that also affect the health of our teeth. The most common alterations are:

Periodontitis and associated complications linked to the effects of possible osteoporosis⠀
Dry mouth sensation⠀
Reduction or weakening of the buccal mucosa⠀
Burning mouth syndrome (stinging, tingling, or numbness of the tongue, gums, or lips)⠀
But there is no need to be alarmed: All these processes (except osteoporosis, which must be properly diagnosed and treated by a specialist) do not represent a major complication, and will only require extra attention to those tips common to everyone: Proper hygiene oral hygiene and hydration, a diet high in calcium and vitamins A, C and E, avoiding tobacco consumption...

And, of course, visit our trusted dentist frequently to ensure that everything is going as it should.
