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.

Dr Khan explained every step, paid close attention to my pain. Explained post op care at least twice. Then called me that evening to check on me. Since this was the day before Christmas eve, he made himself available over the holiday if there were any issues. Looks like I found a new dentist! Outstanding!
Dr Khan! The best dentist that I have ever worked with. His attention to details is unmatched. Very experienced and knowledgeable and truly cares for his patients.
First Impressions are Lasting ! From the Hygienists to the Dr. Khan , the Assessment, teeth cleaning & debridement ! GIRL YOU BAD ! Lol 😆 , the Plan & Consultation !I am In Family !!
Today, I visited Dr. Khan's office in El Campo, and I was very pleased with the treatment I received from start to finish. Both dentists were incredibly friendly and approachable. They provided detailed explanations about the procedure and the next steps during and after the examination. I’m looking forward to my follow-up appointment in 15 days.
Dr. Khan was so great with our kids. He really connects with them first, and then visits about oral hygiene in a humorous way they can understand.
Fast and friendly service!
Extremely detailed which is precisely what you want in a dentist!
