It happens because these pills contain progesterone and they\n     increase the level of that hormone in the body leading to inflamed gum\n     tissue.<\/li><li><strong>Menopause:<\/strong>\n     Due to menopause, levels of estrogen and progesterone decrease in the\n     blood stream. Numerous oral changes can occur including; altered taste,\n     discomfort in the mouth, pain and burning sensation, sensitivity to hot\n     and cold beverages, tooth decay, gum diseases and loss of jaw bone due to\n     osteoporosis.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which preventive measures should women take to prevent these oral health\nrelated issues?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Visiting your dentists regularly and by following the below\nmentioned measures women can prevent these oral problems that they have to face\nat the certain stages of their life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Observe\n     a good oral hygiene; i.e. brush your teeth twice a day using a fluoride\n     containing tooth paste and floss at least once in a day.<\/li><li>Pregnant\n     women should consult their dentists regarding nutritional counseling and\n     should observe strict plaque controlling measures.<\/li><li>If you\n     are pregnant and suffer from morning sickness, then rinse your mouth\n     immediately after every vomiting.<\/li><li>Women experiencing\n     dry mouth during pregnancy and menopause should drink lots of water and\n     chew sugar less gum or candy.<\/li><li>To\n     treat oral contraceptives related gingivitis, women should visit their\n     dentists for professional cleanings.<\/li><li>During\n     the menopause, visit your dentist twice a year for oral examination and\n     cleaning.<\/li><li>Eat a\n     well balanced diet.<\/li><li>Avoid\n     sugary and starchy food.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact Dr. Bikram Singh DMD for any of your oral health\nrelated issues.
