Dental issues.
Posted , 8 users are following.
Hello ladies, im three and a bit years post surgery now and im slowly very slowly feeling better in myself. Anxiety a little lower maybe not quite so focused on horrible things but the thoughts are still there just not 24/7 ! So im guessing im post meno and did it cold turkey so to speak which is hard when you've been through the shock of major surgery . Anyway my question is have any of you ' post ' ladies had dental issues ie shrinking gums, more dentist visits ( which I hate and dread ) ?? My teeth are not the same any more, ive had a couple of extractions and my gums have DEFINATLEY receded. My dentist disagrees with me that this is menopause related and frowned and shook his head when I asked him, but what does he know he's a man ! Anyway ive been refered to the hospital for sedation for deep dental work and now need dentures for the teeth ive lost, bit depressing but could be worse I suppose....... It would really help me confidence wise to hear from anyone else who's suffered anything similar ?? Thanks everyone and God bless xx

Hi, I just started what I believe is perimenopause. There is definitely something going on with my teeth. They just don't look or feel the same. Not with my gums so muck, but they just look different. They almost feel like they are shifting. I noticed this awhile back, so maybe I've been going through this longer than I thought, but perimenopause makes sense.
