Burning Mouth Syndrome: Caused due to nutritional deficiencies that women face during menopause, patients often feel a burning sensation along with a bitter taste throughout the mouth which can recur multiple times in a day.

Dry Mouth: Reduced levels of estrogen during menopause cause mucous membranes in the eyes, nose, and mouth to dry up leading to oral problems like bad breath, oral thrush, enamel erosion, tooth decay etc.

Gum health: A drop in estrogen level results in the loss of bone density. Even the jawbone remains prone to bone loss causing tooth loss and other dental issues. Gums start receding and become extremely sensitive & may bleed due to brushing.

A woman’s day-to-day life may get substantially impacted due to puberty, menstruation, pregnancy & menopause. The post-menopausal phase may not bring any ease as far as oral health is concerned. You should approach the dentist without any delay for treatment and must inform the dental care expert about menopause so that treatment can be offered accordingly. With timely treatment, all the oral health conditions due to menopause can be managed effectively.
