Why you need Hormone Replacement Therapy to protect your teeth during menopause
Are you experiencing The Menopause? Hormone Replacement Therapy is not only good for managing heart health and bone density, but it also prevents you from getting dental complications. The menopause puts women above their late 40s at a higher risk of suffering from gum disease and mouth illnesses. Here is why you need HRT to protect your teeth and smile.
Key takeaways
– Medical researchers indicate that at least one in four women in the post-menopausal stage are likely to start losing teeth in 5 years.
– When the oestrogen levels fall, women are susceptible to Buring Mouth Syndrome, dry mouth and periodontitis.
– The rates of oral diseases in women undergoing HRT are significantly lower than those who don’t.
To prevent dental diseases in the future, maintain proper oral hygiene, avoid smoking and sugary foods and visit the dentist for regular checkups.
