Menopause

Women who are menopausal or post-menopausal may experience changes in their mouths. They may notice discomfort in the mouth, including dry mouth, pain and burning sensations in the gum tissue and altered taste, especially salty, peppery or sour. Your gums may look dry or shiny, bleed easily and range from abnormally pale to deep red mark this condition. Careful oral hygiene at home and professional cleaning may relieve these symptoms.
