I am 49 and having gum
Sensitivity. I thought I am
Not taking good care of my teeth, but then I thought maybe it’s something about perimenopause am I right? Because it’s happening all of a sudden.

Perimenopause is correlated with AGE. Stuff happens after midlife.

Same age, same curiosity here. If receding gums or whiten teeth, that can add to it. Ask about best toothbrush from dentist.

PP here. Exact situation. I feel I won’t be able to eat anything after 5 years. I have anxiety eating anything. Sore gums. I feel my gums most in the morning before getting out of my bed.

This is it, unfortunately.

I'm 55 and have some issues as well -- over half a century is a long time for teeth, and gums are attached to teeth. Do you trust your dentist? (Unfortunately that can be hard to come by these days, I know.) If so see them about this; you might need a deep cleaning/root planing, or there might be something else that can address this. If not, find one you can trust (if you figure that out, or find one, let me know, sigh). Up your dental hygiene game at home for sure; electric toothbrush, at least twice a day, and floss every day. Flossing is huge for gum health; if you aren't used to flossing and there is bleeding and pain, be patient and keep at it. To a certain extent, periodontal disease is genetics, though.

Yes, because teeth are a type of bone after all.

Are you here in DC area? Pollen season is starting. Try a zyretc tonight. You might be grinding your teeth at night if you are not able to breath properly.

You may have allergy or dermatitis from toothpaste or mouthwash. I am wildly allergic to some blue dyes and use white toothpaste.

When you go to the dentist they can evaluate you. I have gum recession and have been using gum recession toothpaste which really helps.

[Anonymous]

What is the name of the toothpaste?

You are getting older. It is normal to have gum recession as you age.

What's next, are we going to blame perimenopause for gray hair, sagging skin and death too?

Ok. You don’t like HRT, it’s all good. But for someone so ok with age, what a miserable life you lead. You are a hateful sh!t, and a terrible forking c, and need to get off of this website and seek talk therapy. You are not wanted here and you obviously have zero functional relationships. This entire board section is on peri and meno so it’s not like you don’t know the subject of conversation.

You need to get a different hobby. No one wants you here except for the people cursed with knowing you offline.
