Women’s Health Week 2024: Shining a Light on Oral Health

This Women’s Health Week, Diamond Dental Care & Implant Centre joins the conversation on a topic often overlooked:  oral health and its connection to overall well-being.

While we prioritise mammograms, pap smears, and other essential screenings, our oral health can sometimes fall by the wayside.  But did you know that maintaining a healthy smile is not just about aesthetics?  According to Jean Hailes, a trusted resource for women’s health information in Australia, oral health is intricately linked to our overall health.

Here’s why prioritising your oral health is crucial for women, and how Diamond Dental Care can help:

  1. Hormonal Fluctuations: Women experience hormonal fluctuations throughout their lives, from puberty to pregnancy and menopause. These fluctuations can impact oral health in several ways.  For example, increased estrogen levels during pregnancy can lead to pregnancy gingivitis, while hormonal changes during menopause can contribute to dry mouth and increased risk of gum disease.
  2. Impact on Chronic Conditions: Research suggests a connection between gum disease and chronic health conditions like diabetes and heart disease.  Women are more susceptible to these conditions, making good oral health even more critical.
  3. The Importance of Preventative Care: Regular dental checkups and cleanings are vital for detecting and preventing oral health problems early on.  Jean Hailes emphasizes the importance of preventative healthcare for women, and regular dental care falls under that umbrella.
