Does dental health affect fertility

Dental treatment itself typically does not directly affect fertility. However, there are some indirect connections between oral health and fertility, especially in certain circumstances:

  1. Periodontal Disease: Poor oral health, particularly periodontal (gum) disease, has been linked to systemic inflammation. Chronic inflammation in the body can negatively impact fertility in both men and women. For women, this might affect the ability to conceive, and for men, it can influence sperm quality.
  2. Oral Infections: Severe dental infections can lead to an overall weakened immune system and increased inflammation, which might have a subtle impact on fertility. Additionally, the stress and discomfort caused by such infections can influence overall well-being and reproductive health.
  3. Medications: Some medications used in dental treatment, such as antibiotics or pain relievers, are generally safe but should be used cautiously, particularly during pregnancy or if conception is being planned. Certain medications may have side effects that could potentially influence fertility if used improperly.
  4. Stress and Anxiety: Dental issues can sometimes cause significant stress or anxiety, which might affect hormonal balance and, consequently, fertility. High levels of stress hormones like cortisol can interfere with the menstrual cycle and sperm production.
  5. Hormonal Changes: Women undergoing fertility treatments or experiencing hormonal changes may be more susceptible to gum disease. Conversely, maintaining good oral health can help minimise complications related to fertility treatments.

Overall, while dental treatment itself does not directly impact fertility, maintaining good oral health is important for overall health, which can, in turn, support reproductive health.

📣 An important update from Dr Carol Somerville Roberts

In this video, Carol shares some personal news about reducing her clinical days from early 2026, following advice from her consultant. While this means she’ll be seeing fewer patients day-to-day, Carol will still be very much involved in Evolve Dentistry, continuing to provide treatments such as amalgam removal and cosmetic dentistry, and ensuring we deliver the highest standards of care.

We’re also thrilled to share that Carol will be taking on the role of President of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry this November 👏 — a fantastic recognition of her expertise and dedication to dentistry.

For many patients, your care will now be with Dr Richard Ford, Carol’s long-standing colleague and friend. Richard shares the same commitment to excellence and patient care that Evolve is known for, and we know you’ll be in excellent hands.

Thank you, as always, for your trust and support. 💙
