Many women assume loose teeth, gum changes, and sudden dental problems are just part of aging.
But for women with osteoporosis, these issues are far more common and can show up years before a bone scan ever shows a problem.
A crown that fails too soon…
Gums receding even when your oral care is solid…
Root canals, infections, or repeat dental work stacking up…
These aren’t always random dental setbacks.
They’re early clues that bones are weakening, especially in the jaw.
In this episode, we break down why women with osteoporosis face higher rates of tooth loss, the subtle oral signs that shouldn’t be ignored, and one often-overlooked nutrient that plays a key role in supporting strong bones and healthy oral tissue.
If you want to stay ahead of fractures and protect your smile, this conversation will help you understand what’s really going on and what to do early, before small issues turn into painful, expensive ones.
