Dentists need to focus on the intersection of oral health and hormonal changes, specifically on identifying and managing the oral manifestations of estrogen (and progesterone) decline.Recognizing that 1 in 3 women over 50 experience symptoms such as burning mouth syndrome, reduced salivary flow, and accelerated bone density loss, dental professionals should now provide targeted, proactive treatment plans to prevent long-term damage.
By working closely with patients to implement specialized saliva support, nutritional guidance, and tailored periodontal therapies, we can ensure a healthy, comfortable smile through this transition.
