Hi, I'm Dr. Jessica.

I'm a dentist and I wanted to welcome you to mouth and hormones. I've been practicing for 11+ years. I help women understand how hormonal changes affect their mouth, teeth and gums through pregnancy, menopause, and the era of 55+.

I completed a one-year hospital residency with special needs and medically compromised patients. From there I was a staff dentist and education director at a cancer centre for five years. Then, I moved and decided to go into private practice. Over the last few years, I noticed pattern around women's hormones and the same questions that kept coming up.

Here's some other tidbits and what I've been doing over the last decade. I'm also an award-winning speaker and bestselling author of Speak Kindly, You're Listening, and I was named to WXN Canada's Most Powerful Women: Top 100 in 2023. But mostly, I'm the dentist who got tired of watching women find out the hard way that their mouth was trying to tell them something.

What will we be talking about at HerMouth Philosophy?

Pregnancy

The changes that occur through each trimester inside your mouth from your teeth, gums and more.

Menopause

Perimenopause, menopause and immediately post-menopause experience changes differently.

55+

Bone density continues to change as we age and that means our jaw and teeth are affected as well.
