This week on Beauty is a Bitch, I’m joined by renowned cosmetic dentist and oral health expert Dr. Jon Marashi to dive into a topic many women in midlife don’t think enough about: how poor oral health can silently fuel chronic disease. Dr. Marashi—whose celebrity clientele includes A-listers and top athletes—shares why what’s happening in your mouth can affect the rest of your body. From heart disease to bone loss to cognitive decline, research now shows that gum disease and poor oral hygiene can set off an inflammatory cascade with serious health consequences, especially as we age.
In this episode, Dr. Marashi breaks down what midlife women need to know about oral care during perimenopause and menopause, why gum recession and sensitivity often show up in our 40s and 50s, and how daily habits (and the right dental visits) can make a major difference. We also discuss cosmetic dental treatments that can help you feel more confident in your smile, common myths about oral health and aging, and why paying attention to your mouth may be one of the best things you can do for your entire body. Trust me—you’ll look at your toothbrush a little differently after this one.
