'The hidden impact of hormones on women's gum health'

"Recent research shows that 84% of women over 50 did not know that menopause could affect their oral health, 70% of menopausal women reported at least one new oral health symptom (like dry mouth or sensitive gums), yet only 2% had discussed these issues with their dentist. 
Similarly, younger women might not connect bleeding gums during pregnancy or puberty with their changing hormones - they may just brush off a little blood as normal."

"By caring for your gums, you are not just preventing dental issues but potentially reducing the risk of broader health problems. "

#Underfunding #NHS #dentistry in the #UK has resulted in a huge amount of #suffering. It is a #false #economy. Treating the #consequences, not least of which is #oralcancer, is more expensive than having #dentists make sure people have #healthy #teeth, #gums & # mouths in the first place. All this pain & increased #cancer #deaths for nothing. This is the #society we now have.

My second day with Gums, the beach cat. He’s a very good boy who likes snuzz. #Cats #BeachCat #Gums

Another suburban #gumtree, featuring its unique trunk patterns, akin to typical army fatigues.

The different colour of bark patches are in fact varying layers that have aged over the months. The lighter shades, obvs, are the newer layers.

This beauty is at least 60 foot tall and has most likely been around for longer than most of us, even though it’s a relatively mid-aged tree, I’d suggest.

Many #gums live in excess of 200 years, I read with interest!

You should see these monumental trees in a bush setting. In numbers, they are breathtaking.

#BrightonEast #Melbourne #Australia is home to this grand #gumtree!

So richly #Australian and native to this continent.

First two pictures are of the same tree.

3rd and 4th are of other tree foliage (#eucalyptus leaves) that are typical of #gums, given the tall one tops out at around 60 foot high (estimated).

On rare occasions, the #graffiti comes to you! #atlgraffiti #gums

These are #rainboweucalyptus!

Aka #Eucalyptusdeglupta or Rainbow Gums.

These #gums are SO unique.

No… kids haven’t been defacing these gums with crayons or fluro-pens.

Their vibrant colours are all natural.

Ive featured these gorgeous #gums before, but have found a number of new pics to share…

These are fair-dinkum real. And they’re absolutely stunning!!

Known facts about the #rainbowgum:

- When a rainbow eucalyptus sheds its bark it reveals a neon green inner layer. Over time, as this layer is exposed to air, it ages into different colors. They display bright reds, oranges, blues, pinks and purples.

- The different colours appear as different layers fall off, while other exposed areas begin aging.

- Rainbow eucalyptus is the ONLY eucalyptus tree native to the #northernhemisphere.

- They’re found mainly in the Philippines, New Guinea, and Indonesia.

It’s found mainly in the Philippines, New Guinea, and Indonesia.

And funny enough, it is not native to #Australia!
