Menopause teeth

[Deehattie]

Since menopause my teeth are suffering, yellowing, gum recession and see through tooth. Like to try a remineralizing Toothpaste they could help. Any advice would be lovely, it's really getting me down.

I have seen RiseWell toothpaste raved about by US dentists. It’s ridiculously expensive. I have tried Boka (in an odd flavour because it was cheaper) and I think it must be doing something as my sensitivity and pain has now reduced. Not sure I can face a third tube of it though and it has no effect on discolouration, a scale and polish did work wonders though.

Id just keep up with regular dentist appts and do what they tell you!
I have the same problem and go in for regular cleans and use toothbrushes, intradental brushes, floss and mouthwash every day. TBH being really 'in depth' with cleaning seems to help most.
Im also waiting to hear from a specialist about possible surgical remineralisation options.

I’ve never heard of menopause affecting teeth or gums.
I do follow up with the dentist/hygienist bi-annually.
Like others, change out toothbrushes often, use dental pick, water flosser and mouth wash.

Menopause has really been a big issue for my oral health.
My gums are suffering.
I do everything the above poster does and also use a water flosser with diluted cordysol mouthwash in it.

Mine too, sadly little known. I developed gum disease despite 6 monthly hygienist, floss, teepee cleaning and needed some invasive treatment. Irs under control now but periodontist was telling me all about hormones snd relationship to gums.
Keep up a really rigorous cleaning regime, sensitive toothpaste and regular hygienist.

Menopause , like any hormonal event like pregnancy , does effect gums , it makes them more prone to inflammation so even a little plaque can cause problems so you have to up your cleaning regime.

Once teeth are formed , between a few months before birth to early teens , they are not affected by mineral coming in or out because the enamel is already fully formed and inaccessible to the body . So pregnancy, menopause , osteoporosis etc has no effect on the teeth themselves at all.
