General Health Information

Menopause frequently causes hot flashes and dryness, and these symptoms
can even occur in the gums. A series of scientific investigations has
discovered that the cause of “dry mouth” in many women over 45 is a
lack of estrogen. The obvious solution to the problem is estrogen
replacement therapy, but it’s not the only solution. Taking daily
vitamin and mineral supplements is helpful in preventing gum disease during menopause. Smoking counteracts them. For your best oral health after menopause, take care of your bones as well as your teeth.
