postmenopausal women

Postmenopausal women who have smoked are at much higher risk of losing their teeth than women who never smoked, according to a new study published and featured on the cover of the Journal of the American Dental Association by researchers at the University at Buffalo.

 

As reported in advance of publication in Oral Oncology, 2011, D Tákacs and colleagues from the Semmelweis University Budapest Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Budapest, Hungary, have shown that moderate alcohol consumption in postmenopausal women that do not smoke may reduce the risk of oral cancer.
