Women and Tooth Care

Women have special needs when it comes to their oral health. That’s because the physical changes they undergo through life—menstruation, pregnancy and childbirth, breast-feeding and menopause—cause many changes in the body, some harmful to teeth and gums.

Lesions and ulcers, dry sockets, as well as swollen gums, can sometimes occur during surges in a woman's hormone levels. These periods would be a prime time to visit the dentist. Birth control pills have been shown to increase the risk of gingivitis, and hormone replacement therapy has been shown to cause bleeding and swollen gums. Gum disease can also present a higher risk for premature births.

Some research has shown that women may be more likely to develop dry mouth, eating disorders, jaw problems such as temporomandibular joint disorders, and facial pain—all of which can be difficult from a physical and emotional standpoint.

Taking care of your mouth with proper oral health care is essential, and can go a long way to helping you face the physical changes in your body over the years.

    Truly amazing! I was hesitant to visit any dentist for several years after my braces were taken off because of a previous bad experience I had. First entering the office I was greeted warmly by very friendly staff. I knew I needed two root canals and several fillings done all of which I was not looking forward to. She had asked if we could just do one filling on my first visit which I had agreed to. The procedure went flawlessly. For those who are scared of needles (which was my worst fear), Dr. Wadhwa is extremely experienced in this field and knows how to make the pain almost nonexistent. It took some convincing but Dr. Wadhwa had relieved all of my concerns of going to the dentist. She is the only dentist I'll be visiting ever again for any routine or intricate procedures.

    I had stopped going to the dentist for the last few years because of a previous bad expierence. I decided to try Dr. Wadhwa and was very pleased. She is very friendly and understood mty hesitancy about going back to the dentist. She answered all my questions and asked to make sure I understood everything. I will have to come back for fillings but she explained the procedure and I feel much better about it. The staff up front is also very welcoming, they actually seemed interested with what I was talking about. I would highly suggest going to Dr. Wadhwa she is great!!
