Menopause

Menopause and the impact on your oral health

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.

💙 Join us on #BlueWednesday – 12 November 2025 💙

Did you know a quick 45‑second self‑check could help spot mouth cancer early? 

This #BlueWednesday, we’re encouraging everyone to check their mouth for any red or white patches, unusual lumps or persistent ulcers. 
 
If you notice anything out of the ordinary, make sure to book in with a dentist or see your doctor. 

🦷 At Evolve Dentistry, we’re proud to support this life‑saving awareness campaign.

Let’s spread the word together — share this post, tag someone you care about and use the hashtags #BlueWednesday and #MouthAware.
