Dental Plan Reviews, Post-Menopausal Women Have a Higher Risk of Tooth Loss.
In a study of over 1,000 post-menopausal women it was forecast that over one in four have a higher risk of suffering from tooth loss over a five year period. This risk increases to nearly 90% if other risk factors are present, especially diabetes, or if they are smokers. However having proper dental care and by maintaining good oral hygiene will reduce these risk factors.
