Being a woman, you know that you need to take extra care of yourself at specific occasions of your life, your body being a little more complex than that of a man.
Health needs are unique; a little more care and pampering yourself is not bad. The hormonal changes that take place during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy etc., open ways and avenues for various health issues that are limited only to the feminine. These hormonal changes can affect many tissues, including the gum tissue.
Hormonal changes and oral health in women tend to be the two sides of the same coin. Menstruation Gingivitis is a common oral problem that women go through. This problem occurs due to hormonal fluctuations during the course of menstruation or before. As gingival tissues have lots of estrogenic receptors, its response to the hormonal changes is rapid. Those who maintain a poor oral hygiene easily bump into such oral disparities because the bacteria which is already there in oral cavity multiplies and results in gingivitis (gum disease). Further, gingivitis can also make you fall prey to periodontitis (tooth mobility).
