SUMMARY:
Menopause is a natural biological process that
brings significant hormonal changes, impacting not only systemic
health but also oral health. Dental professionals play a vital role
in recognizing and managing oral conditions associated with
menopause, from dry mouth and burning mouth syndrome to increased
periodontal concerns and bone loss.
This comprehensive continuing education webinar
will explore the oral health implications of menopause and provide
practical strategies for optimizing patient care. Attendees will
