The link between menopause, hormonal changes and oral health will be explored during a session at the Scottish Dental Show in June.

Attendees will explore practical, evidence-based approaches for managing oral health in menopausal patients, including treatment adaptations. The session will foster critical reflection on current clinical practices and encourage the integration of holistic care to improve patient outcomes.

Through the development of menopause and women’s health knowledge participants will learn how to discuss sensitive topics like menopause with empathy and clarity, promoting patient-centred care.

"This platform will open up innovative pathways for comprehensive care.

Additionally, the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration will be highlighted, underscoring the evolving need for specialised knowledge in menopause care as part of a multidisciplinary approach to women’s health.

The session is being hosted by Adele Johnston, the menopause Coach and educator. “I’m excited that this year we’re spotlighting menopause and women’s health, finally recognising menopause care not only as a hormonal issue but also as an integral part of oral health,” said Adele. “This platform will open up innovative pathways for comprehensive care, and I look forward to sharing insights and engaging in these conversations.”
