Women and Oral HealthOverview

Women have special needs at different stages of life. Puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause can all influence your oral health and the need for dental treatment. During these times, your body experiences hormonal changes. By understanding these changes, you can practice good oral health habits that can keep your teeth and gums healthy.
