Can your teeth hurt during menopause?
Women may experience unexplained pain in the mouth. Some women experience a burning sensation or pain in their teeth during menopause and even afterwards, with some experiencing changes in their sense of taste.
Do your teeth change during menopause?
As oestrogen levels fall during and after menopause, women are more likely to lose bone density. This can be indicated by receding gums, as this exposes more of your tooth, which makes your tooth more susceptible to decay.
Is a sore tongue a symptom of menopause?
Women experiencing menopause may experience dry mouth symptoms, frequent thirst, and hoarseness. Sometimes, the condition can lead to burning sensations in the mouth and tongue (known as burning mouth syndrome).
How can I protect my teeth as my hormone levels change?
Keeping your gums healthy requires brushing and flossing every day, as well as regular checkups with your dentist and hygienist to ensure any potential problems are identified early.

Still feeling incredibly proud
A few months on, and we’re still celebrating Carol Somerville Roberts in her role as President of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.
It’s something we don’t take lightly - representing the profession at this level, while continuing to care for patients here at the practice, is no small thing.
What makes us most proud is that nothing changes for our patients. The same calm approach. The same honest advice. The same focus on doing what’s right for you.
Just with a little extra recognition behind it.
A big moment for Carol - and a proud one for all of us at Evolve.
🌟 Help us make history! 🌟

Have you heard of ‘fibremaxxing’? 🌿
It may be a new buzzword, but eating more fibre has been important for years. Our latest blog explains why fibre is essential not only for digestion, but also for mood, energy, gut health and oral health too.
✨ Only around 4% of adults are thought to hit the recommended daily fibre target
✨ Small changes can make a big difference
✨ Diversity of plant foods is often the easiest place to start
If you’re curious about how to improve your health in a simple, sustainable way, this blog is for you.
