Hormone Changes and Oral Health
Estrogen and progesterone influence more than your mood and metabolism.
They also affect your saliva, your gum tisue, your bone density, and how your mouth recovers from stress.
That’s why so many women in their 40s and 50s suddenly start seeing breakdown—crowns failing, implants needed, dry mouth, inflammation.
It’s not random. It’s rhythm.
In my practice, we look at those shifts with intention—because midlife is the perfect time to pivot from reaction to preservation.
This is your oral health wake-up decade.
