A huge thank you to Juliette Reeves for last night's fantastic webinar.

As we heard there are five stages in a women’s life during which changes in hormone levels make them more susceptible to oral health problems and pregnancy is one of them.

70% of women experience pregnancy gingivitis, which if left untreated this can cause more serious complications, including premature labour and a low-birth weight.

Research suggests that a staggering 20% of premature births are triggered by gum disease.

A combination of hormonal changes and a surge in blood flow, most commonly during the second trimester, leads to plaque building up around the base of the tooth causing puffy and bleeding gums. Excessive bacteria can enter the bloodstream via sore gums, travelling to the uterus, triggering the production of chemicals which can induce labour.

The Gengigel range of products utilise the natural therapeutic benefits of hyaluronic acid to provide welcome relief from the discomfort and pain of pregnancy gingivitis.

Clinically proven to heal inflamed or damaged gums, Gengigel delivers a 50% reduction in bleeding gums within 7 days. It is safe to use in pregnancy, when breastfeeding and in young children.

FREE CPD Webinar - Oral Health through the Life Stages of the Female Patient with Juliette Reeves, Thursday 10th June at 7pm.

There are five stages in a women’s life during which changes in hormone levels make them more susceptible to oral health problems; puberty, the monthly menstruation cycle, when using oral contraceptives, during pregnancy and at menopause.

The genetic and hormonal differences that distinguish women from men are the basis for the clinical changes that occur throughout the life stages of the female patient. These differences result in more frequent and more exaggerated responses to oral bacteria, which initiate gingival and periodontal lesions. Some of these changes are bleeding on probing or with tooth brushing, inflamed gingivae, hyperplastic gingivae, pyrogenic granuloma, tooth mobility and bone loss. In addition, adverse pregnancy outcomes, respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes are all potential sequelae of poor oral health.

It is imperative that the dental team understand the effect of hormone status on the oral health of our female patients and recognise our role in the promotion of oral systemic health and its impact on the health of women.

Learning objectives:
• To provide an overview of the female hormones and their actions throughout the life cycle.
• To discuss the potential effect of hormones on the periodontal health of female patients.
• To examine oral conditions associated with female hormone status through puberty, pregnancy and the menopause.
• To provide treatment options and solutions for oral conditions associated with the female life cycle.

Today is World No To***co Day and we’re delighted to join the World Health Organization (WHO) in celebrating this.

The WHO run this annual campaign to raise awareness on the harmful and deadly effects of to***co use and second-hand smoke exposure, and to discourage the use of to***co in any form.

There are so many major health benefits in quitting smoking but for us it’s all about teeth and gums!

Smoking weakens the immune system and for those of your patients who have any form of gum disease it makes it harder for them to fight of the gum infection. Plus, once they already have damage to the gums smoking also makes it harder for the gums to heal.

As a smoker, patients have TWICE the risk of getting gum disease in the first place.

So join us in the campaign to educate patients about the risks of smoking and the benefits for their whole body in quitting.

The Gengigel range is clinically proven to treat all stages of gum disease.

Get in touch with our team to find out more.

Oestrogen provides a key, protective role in many different systems in our bodies: the brain, skin, bones, heart, urinary functions, and the ge***al area – That's why as we enter the peri/menopause phase and our levels of oestrogen decline it can affect all these parts of our bodies, including our mouths.

Have you noticed any changes to your oral health recently, are your gums feeling more sensitive, or bleeding more frequently? Perhaps you’ve noticed a change in your taste or a burning sensation in your mouth.

The mouth contains oestrogen receptors and so variations in hormone levels can, directly and indirectly, affect the oral cavity culminating in symptoms such as; a greater sensitivity, along with a decreased saliva flow which can result in dry mouth and gingivitis.

To keep your gums and teeth healthy during this stage of fluctuating hormones we urge you to take note of your symptoms and act on them, if something is particularly troublesome seek advice from your dentist or hygienist and remain extra vigilant with your daily oral hygiene:

- Brush your teeth for a good 2 minutes a day, using a timer on your phone can help.
- Use a good quality toothpaste containing fluoride.
- Clean in between your teeth with either interdental brushes or floss, to ensure you remove all food debris and bacteria.
- Use an alcohol-free mouth rinse twice a day, at different times from brushing.
- Try to stick to 3 healthy meals a day, where possible avoiding sugar and sugary drinks.

**** DENTAL PROFESSIONALS****

Saliva is a vital body fluid and without it continued healthy functioning of the oral cavity would not be possible. As a fluid, saliva facilitates mastication, bolus formation, swallowing, lubrication of the mucosa and speech. Specific components of saliva, however, contribute to antimicrobial activity, buffering actions , digestion, and the protection and maintenance of mucus membrane.

Dry mouth may present itself as a local symptom, or as part of a systemic disease. It may or may not be associated with decreased salivary gland function.

In this presentation on Thursday 13 May at 7pm, Juliette Reeves will aim to update the dental professional on the importance of saliva for oral health and the impact on systemic health and wellbeing.

Learning Outcomes:

-Review current understandings of saliva production and composition.

-Examine new insights surrounding the importance of saliva in systemic health.

-Consider the systemic and clinical implications of xerostomia.

-Discuss the management of xerostomia and salivary gland hypofunction.

Drinking too much alcohol is bad for your health! Shock horror! But did you know there is also a link to gum disease?

Studies show that drinking alcohol increases the development of gum disease, It’s the quantity of alcohol consumption not the type of alcohol.

As you can imagine, if you are also a smoker and drink a lot there is significant progression in gum disease.

Sadly, if you are a woman there is evidence that you are more likely to develop gum disease from solely drinking alcohol than men.

You may be wondering why does alcohol have a link to gum disease?

Well, alcohol contains bacteria which causes an imbalance in your mouth which prevents the existing bacteria in your mouth from doing their vital job of maintaining good oral health and longevity of the teeth, this build up causes gum disease.

It’s not all doom and gloom though, you can still drink but in moderation, it’s all about sticking to government guidelines of no more than 14 units a week and making sure to keep up with good oral hygiene practises like brushing your teeth and flossing especially after you’ve been drinking. (Easier said than done we know!!) 🥴

If you’ve noticed your gums are sore, bleeding or inflamed you could have Gingivitis which is treatable, you DON’T want to leave this as this could progress to gum disease which is NOT reversible and can lead to tooth loss.

Try using Gengigel, as it provides an active protection from gum disease and supports the natural healing of inflamed and damaged gums.

If this is something you would like to try, take our Gengigel Gorgeous Gums 7-day trial.
