Menopause (Climacteric) – Oral Health, Energy & Well-being
Due to estrogen deficiency, mucous membranes, the immune system, and bone metabolism become more sensitive. As a result, dry mouth, gum inflammation, microbiome disturbances, and an increased risk of periodontitis occur more frequently.
Changes During Menopause
Typical complaints include:
- Dry mouth, burning, taste irritations
- Sensitive gums, gum bleeding
- Increased risk of periodontitis
- Sleep problems, mood swings
- Weight gain & muscle loss
- Exhaustion and reduced performance
Why Teeth and Gums Require Special Attention Now
Hormonal changes affect the protective function of the mucous membranes and the oral microbiome. Estrogen receptors in the oral mucosa lose their stabilising effect. When this balance is disturbed, inflammation can increase and dental problems may worsen.
A targeted combination of microbiome stabilisation, remineralisation, and functional nutrition can play a crucial role in supporting this.
