In this episode of Hormone Harmony, Nurse Practitioner Angie McGough interviews Amber White, a dental hygienist specializing in biologic dentistry, to discuss the connection between hormone health and oral well-being. Amber explains how hormonal fluctuations, particularly during perimenopause and menopause, can affect gum tissue, bone density, and the oral microbiome. She highlights the impact of estrogen decline on inflammation, dry mouth, and bone loss, and how oral health imbalances can contribute to broader health issues.
Amber also provides practical recommendations for maintaining oral health, including using non-toxic dental products, tongue scraping, and oil pulling, along with ensuring adequate nutrition. She discusses the role of bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) in restoring hormonal balance and improving oral health by reducing inflammation and promoting tissue repair.
