How does progesterone impact dental health, including its potential effects on gum inflammation, oral microbiome balance and overall oral hygiene?
Progesterone can elevate gum inflammation by increasing blood flow and influencing immune responses, which may worsen periodontal conditions and disrupt the oral microbiome balance.
Progesterone increases gum sensitivity and inflammation, potentially exacerbating periodontal disease. It alters the oral microbiome, promoting growth of bacteria linked to gum disease.
