All women over the age of 12 are familiar with the effects hormones can have on their life. However, few of us think about hormones having an impact on our oral health. Some women experience oral changes that can include bright red swollen gums, swollen salivary glands, development of canker sores, or bleeding gums. In this article, we would like to explore hormones and your oral health.
You may be surprised to learn that hormone surges may make you more vulnerable to gum disease. Heres why: Female hormones (estrogen and progesterone) cause more blood to flow to your gums, which causes them to become more sensitive and overreact to anything that may irritate them. Women are more sensitive to the presence of plaque and bacteria around the gums when the hormone levels are high. This can cause your gums to become inflamed, swell and bleed. If left untreated, ongoing inflammation in the gums can also lead to bone loss around the teeth and eventual tooth loss.
We would like to raise awareness about womens oral health issues, so they are diligent about practicing good oral hygiene practices and visiting their dentist twice a year for exams and teeth cleanings. The dental visits can help monitor womens oral health and let them know if any problems are developing. Use good oral health every day by brushing twice a day, rinsing with alcohol-free mouthwash, chewing sugar free gum after eating to increase saliva, and talking to your dentist about any concerns.

This office is GREAT! So professional yet so personal. I used to be a little fearful going to the dentist, now I actually look forward to seeing all the smiling, familiar faces. I really trust each and every employee.

I've been seeing Dr. Torbeck(s) literally my entire life. I love the people there and Doctors Ellen and Erin are great. I had a permanent retainer break on a Friday (they didn't install it) and they called back 10 minutes before they opened Monday and fit me in within the first 30 minutes of their day. Truly in the business of helping people. Cannot recommend them enough.

Believe or not I met Dr Erin in an axe throwing league and I was so impressed with with her personally I decided go to her professionally. The entire staff is terrific and very professional. My longest wait time in the lobby was maybe 5 or 6 minutes. I just had a crown put on today and they walk you through every step of the process so you never feel lost or unsure. Torbeck Dental, specifically Dr Erin, is my dentist now and I'm glad I made the switch.
