“Oral Menopause” - Do you know this Phenomenon?
Journal Title: Women's Health Science Journal - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Patients as well as therapists, even dental professionals, are not fully aware of the fact that menopausal oral problems can seriously impair quality of life. However, hormone receptors in the oral mucosa may cause dry mouth and mucous membrane pain due to menopausal hormone changes. Some disease entities such xerostomia, oral lichen planus, or “Burning Mouth Syndrome” are significantly more common during and after menopause and present problems for patients and therapists alike. Increased knowledge, awareness and structured approach could lead to better interdisciplinary communication and therapy.
