Periodontal disease, an inflammatory disorder that affects the supporting structures of the teeth, is a widespread yet often underappreciated health concern with significant implications for women's overall well-being. Encompassing a range of conditions from mild inflammation to the destruction of the periodontal tissues, this disease has a marked impact on both oral and systemic health. The onset of periodontal disease is frequently associated with an imbalance in the oral microbiome, and its progression is often aggravated by various risk factors, including systemic illnesses, lifestyle behaviors, and, crucially, hormonal fluctuations. These fluctuating hormonal levels place women at particular risk at various stages of life. Puberty, pregnancy, menstruation, and menopause are periods marked by significant hormonal upheaval, each of which can exert a profound influence on oral health. The relationship between periodontal disease and women's health is inherently complex and multifactorial. By acknowledging and addressing these challenges, healthcare professionals can mitigate associated risks in women's health.
