Oral hygiene for women over 40

After 40, oral health deserves deliberate attention. Hormonal changes during menopause can affect your gums and teeth.

Daily habits that help

  • Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
  • Floss daily to protect the gumline.
  • Keep regular dental check-ups.
  • Tell your dentist about hormonal changes or health issues you're experiencing.

Good oral hygiene at this stage supports your overall health and reduces the risk of gum disease and tooth decay.

Wondering what this means for your teeth? Book a 15-minute consultation.
