Protect Your Smile with hormone testing
Healthy balanced hormone levels can protect your teeth and gums.Even though 20% of postmenopausal women continue to maintain healthy hormone levels without replacement, the majority of women do benefit from HRT (hormone replacement therapy). Maintaining a close watch on your hormone levels can help you determine if and when you need to consider hormone replacement. Keeping tabs on your stress hormones can tell you when the stresses of your life have become too much, and are putting your health at risk.
Saliva hormone testing provides reliable, noninvasive hormone level assessment. You can take the test in the privacy and comfort of your own home. Tests are available that can help you keep tabs on your estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA and cortisol levels.
