EFP Perio Talks: Unlocking the secrets of women's oral health across life stages

Author(s): Infodent International

Pink October, a month also dedicated to awareness on women's health, has begun. In this spirit, EFP Perio Talks Season 2 launches with an enlightening podcast titled, "The X factor: what is unique about women's health?" This episode dives into the often-overlooked realm of women's oral health, exploring the vital importance of periodontal health at the various stages of a woman's life.

Bruno de Carvalho, assisted by Adam Kirtley, EFP Perio Talks producer, interviews two experts: Associate Professor Ali Çekici (Turkey) and Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist Dr Renee Behrens (UK). Together, they unveil the complex influence of hormonal changes on women's gum health across different life phases, offering valuable insights into puberty, the menstrual cycle, contraceptive use, pregnancy, in vitro fertilisation (IVF), post-menopause, and even transgender health.

Menstrual cycle and pregnancy
The conversation evolves, touching upon the timing of periodontal treatment during menstrual cycles and pregnancy. Behrens debunks the myth that dental treatments should be avoided during menstruation, advocating for consistent oral hygiene and care. The role of effective plaque removal was highlighted. Discussants explore how pregnancy-related hormonal changes can lead to gum inflammation and enlargement, stressing the need for close collaboration between gynaecologists and dentists. Gestational diabetes and breastfeeding are also discussed.

Interconnected health
This episode also delves into the intricate interplay between oral health and overall well-being. Behrens underscores the importance of healthcare professionals collaborating to understand how oral health can influence systemic conditions. The recognition of the oral microbiome's role in overall health underscores the necessity for interdisciplinary communication. Presenters underscored the importance of tailored oral....READ MORE
