PROTECTING ORAL HEALTH DURING MENOPAUSE
There are a number of ways to protect your oral health during menopause, including:
- Maintain good oral hygiene by following the rule of 2-1-2: Brush twice a day, floss once a day and visit your dentist twice a year.
- Stay hydrated by drinking enough water throughout the day and talk to your doctor if you experience dry mouth.
- Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin D and calcium, which support strong teeth and bones. Limit sugary and acidic foods that can contribute to tooth decay.
- Pay attention to bone health, as it can also affect jawbone density.
- Exercise regularly to support overall and heart health, which are also linked to oral health.
