further assess the extent of the relationship between osteoporosis and periodontal disease, the researchers have thus far made the following connections:<\/p><ul><li><div><strong>Estrogen deficiency<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Estrogen deficiency accompanies menopause and also speeds up the progression of oral bone loss.\u00a0 The lack of estrogen accelerates the rate of attachment loss (fibers and tissues which keep the teeth stable are destroyed).<\/div><\/li><li><div><strong>Low mineral bone density<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 This is thought to be one of several causes of osteoporosis, and the inflammation from periodontal disease makes weakened bones more prone to break down.\u00a0 This is why periodontitis can be more progressive in patients with

the early stages.\u00a0 Once a diagnosis has been made, the dentist will generally work with the patient\u2019s doctor to ensure that both diseases are effectively controlled.<\/p><p>Here are some methods commonly used to diagnose and treat the diseases:<\/p><ul><li><div><strong>Routine dental x-rays<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 X-rays can be effectively used to screen for bone loss in the upper and lower jaw, and the dentist can provide interventions for preventing and treating periodontal disease.\u00a0 It is believed that minimizing periodontal disease will help treat osteoporosis.<\/div><\/li><li><div><strong>Estrogen supplements<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Providing post-menopausal women with estrogen supplements lowers the rate of attachment loss and also lowers gingival inflammation, which in turn protects the teeth from periodontal disease.<\/div><\/li><li><div><strong>Assessment of risk factors<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Dentists and doctors are able to closely monitor the patients that are at an increased risk of developing both diseases by assessing family history, medical history, X-ray results, current medications and modifiable risk factors.\u00a0 Tobacco use, obesity, poor diet and estrogen deficiency can all be managed using a combination of education, support and prescription medications.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><p><em>If you have any questions
