Women and Tooth Care

Women have special needs when it comes to their oral health. That’s because the physical changes they undergo through life—menstruation, pregnancy and childbirth, breast-feeding and menopause—cause many changes in the body, some harmful to teeth and gums.

Lesions and ulcers, dry sockets, as well as swollen gums, can sometimes occur during surges in a woman's hormone levels. These periods would be a prime time to visit the dentist. Birth control pills have been shown to increase the risk of gingivitis, and hormone replacement therapy has been shown to cause bleeding and swollen gums. Gum disease can also present a higher risk for premature births.

Some research has shown that women may be more likely to develop dry mouth, eating disorders, jaw problems such as temporomandibular joint disorders, and facial pain—all of which can be difficult from a physical and emotional standpoint.

Taking care of your mouth with proper oral health care is essential, and can go a long way to helping you face the physical changes in your body over the years.

  • "Doctor Coston is honest, gentle and thurough. He doesn't try to upsell and push treatments like some area dentists that I've seen. The most positive and calm experience at a dentist I've ever had. His hygienists are knowledgeable and accurate in their cleaning. I also have had a filling done by Dr. Coston, which I'm usually very anxious about, but it was surprisingly comfortable and easy."

  • "I have been seeing Dr. Coston for at least 10 years. I could not ask for a more caring, knowledgeable dentist! I truly loathe going to the dentist, but Dr. Coston always ensures I am comfortable and pain free. I love all the hygienists and the front office staff! Just all around awesome!"

  • "I have been a patient of Dr. Coston for about 10 years. He is the best dentist I have ever been to! He is the epitome of professional, kind, and caring. He is an extreme perfectionist, the best kind of dentist anyone would want. I referred my friends and my family members and they have also been patients for years and have regular appointments with him. His staff is excellent. Yelp and other social media is a great source of feedback for us.....however....there are malevolent people out there, (such as scorned exes), who take unnecessary and reprehensible steps to defame and smear others. It is despicable for anyone to do so to an individual with an esteemed and highly respectable character."

  • "Dr Coston has been my dentist for over 20 years. I absolutely love him! He is such a great person and has an impeccable practice. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for the BEST dentist!"
