How Your Menstrual Cycle Affects Your Mouth
Chances are you’ve blamed your period for a bloated belly, a chocolate-fudge brownie craving, or an outburst of emotion after watching a commercial. But have you ever thought to hold your raging hormones responsible for puffy, sensitive gums?
Probably not. Yet research shows that hormonal highs and lows can impact your oral health, big time. In fact, a brand-new study by researchers at Case Western Reserve University reports that although women tend to maintain better dental health practices than guys do, we’re at greater risk for pie-hole problems because of our hormones. And these issues can put us at risk for more serious health issues such as heart disease, miscarriage, bone loss, and more.
“The gingival tissues have lots of estrogen receptors that respond to hormonal fluctuations,” says Susan Karabin, D.D.S., past president of the American Academy of Periodontology. “As a result, you may see symptoms appear in your mouth in accordance with your menstrual cycle.”
With this in mind, here’s how you can best care for your yapper while minimizing pain, inflammation, and bleeding at every point in your cycle.
The best time to: Schedule a cleaning?
The week after your period.
“There’s no bad time to go for a cleaning,” Karabin says. “But high estrogen levels a few days before your period can cause gingival swelling and inflammation.” This can throw off the results when your dentist measures your pocket depth—the space around each tooth. (A depth greater than 3 mm may indicate gum disease.) Plus, puffy gums tend to be extra sensitive. As a result, the cleaning could feel more painful than if you visit your dentist shortly after your period ends when estrogen levels dip back down.
The best time to: Be extra vigilant about brushing and flossing?
The week before your period.
“Hormonal changes don’t cause gum disease, but they can worsen some underlying issues such as inflammation,” Karabin says. Symptoms tend to be worse two days before your period starts, a condition called menstruation gingivitis. “Although it’s always important to maintain healthy oral habits, try to be even more diligent about brushing twice a day and flossing daily right before your period to keep your gums as clean as possible,” Karabin adds.
The best time to: Undergo oral surgery procedures?
The days right after your period.
Whether you need a cavity filled or a tooth yanked, aim for the time when you’re supposed to stop bleeding. That’s when hormone levels are lower and your gums are the least sensitive, Karabin says. There’s another hormonal surge that occurs before ovulation (between day 11 through 21 in a 28-day cycle—day one is the first day of your period). This can also cause inflammation and make procedures even less comfortable, so try to schedule your root canal shortly after your period ends.

Mamas Read these cute comments from kids who think their mothers are the best in the World
I have the best mother!
My mother's name is Pearl. She is beautiful; she is an accountant manager of Future Shop and Best Buy Canada.
What is the most important thing my mother has done for me? Easy, it's that care and love that motivates me and keeps doing well.
She taught me everything I know, but the most important thing she has taught me was to be good.
I know you might be asking, what is the best present that she gave me. Well, she gave me my life, without her this document would've never been written. That is a big sacrifice in life you know.
The best time I spent with my mother is in London, U.K., EU and in Paris, France, EU. It was a wonderful time. I went with not only my mother, but with my dad and with my sister. We went there to visit. We were newcomers.
Nothing bad;
Nothing unique;
She's just the best;
And that's what counts.

My mom's name is Nibool. My mom is pretty and looks like me. I think my mom is very brave because she flew all the way from Sudan to Egypt and to Canada. I also think my mom's brave because she raised four children of her own and now has a happy life in Canada.
The best thing my mom has done for me is taking care of me.
The most important thing my mom has taught me is not to talk to strangers and to not give out any information. That has helped me because I'm still here in a wonderful world with my family
My mom is really nice. The best present my mom has ever got me is a Little Lets Pet Shop electronic and a Nintendo DS. A Little Lets Pet Shop is like having a real pet that you have to bathe, feed and clean.
I love you Mom.

I have the best mother in the whole universe. My mother is Jun. She is a sushi maker.
She has taught me not to be selfish and share with others. It has helped me make new friends every week.
The best day my mother and I had was at the PNE in summer. I was with my mother and little brother. We went on the Atmosphere. We also went on other rides. The Atmosphere was high.
The best present my mother ever gave me was an orange yo-yo. I felt happy when I got it because it was my birthday.
The most important thing she has done for me is take care of me so I will not die, freeze to death or starve, but my mom also does more for me. She is the best mother in the whole universe anyone can have.

I have the best mother. Her name is Lily. She is 43 years old. She was born in Beijing, China. She is a part-time cashier in New West from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. while I'm at school. My mother helps me when I'm sick. She gives me medicine and cheers me up. She always makes me feel better. My mother also helps me with Chinese because then I can understand more words. When I learn all (or most) of the Chinese words I can go to my home city, Beijing, China. That's where my grandparents live and where most of my family live. The best present she ever gave me was Yu-Gi-Oh cards because I can play against my brother. Unfortunately I usually lose. Last summer my family plus another family went camping at Cultus Lake. It took almost two hours to get there. We camped on Entrance Bay. After camping we went to Cultus Lake Water Park. It was real cool. All of those things that I wrote about in this story make me think of my mother. While you are reading this you should picture my mother. She is AWESOME!

I have the best mother. My mother's name is Subby. She is nice, tall, pretty, young and skinny.
My mother does a lot of things for me but the best thing she does for me is help me with math.
Whenever I need help with something, she helps me with it. My mother has taught me a lot of things. Two important things that she taught me are to be nice and also to stand up for myself. It helps me because if someone is bullying me, I can stand up for myself, and by being nice to everyone I have lots of friends.
My mother gives me really, really nice presents, but one present is the best present ever. I got two beautiful bunnies that are very cute. The reason she bought two bunnies is because my sister and I really wanted bunnies. I felt really happy inside because she actually bought them for us. That is the nicest thing ever.
The best day that I remember having with my mom is at Disney World. It was very fun. My mom and I had a lot of fun together. We went in this really cool place that had all the clothes that famous people wore. It was really cool because for the first time I got to see the clothes they wore up close.

My mother's name is Jenny. She is a banker. She is 43. The thing that makes my mother special is that she was born in a very poor environment in China where three to four people stay in a room.
The most important thing my mother does for me is give me advice. It keeps me responsible. The most important thing that my mother has taught me is to value things. It taught me to not waste anything.
The best present my mother gave me is a Nintendo 3DS. It's a video game console and you can play games on it. I feel thankful for it.
The best day I remember spending with my mother is going to Disneyland. It was in L.A. I was with my mom ,my dad, my grandpa and my grandma. I went on rides.
I have the best mother.

I have the best mother. My mother's name is A.J., short for Anjenette. What does she looks like? She is the same size as me. She works as a casino worker, but someday she is going to be a phone agent. The important thing my mother does for me is she helps me with my homework and takes it so seriously and it helps me learn a lot. My mother gave me a present and it is my brother. My brother looks like a normal brother he is Grade 1 at Twelfth Avenue school. My brother makes me happy. The important thing my mother taught me is how to use the Internet. It helps me find amazing things.
The best day I spent with my mother was going and having a party at my Auntie's birthday. It was at a restaurant and people I know were there.
I have the best mother.

My mother's name is Emy. She is a homemaker. She was born in Indonesia and then in about 2003, she moved to Canada with my father and me. The most important thing she does for me is she prepares my lunch because if she doesn't I won't have any lunch because I don't have any time to prepare it.
The best present she has ever given to me was a Wii. I played it just about all the time and I wanted a Wii since I was small.
The best day I can remember spending with her is when our family went to the P.N.E. It was really fun. And I hope we can go there again.
I have the best mother.

It was super fun.

My mom taught me how to cook an egg. It helps me because if I'm older I can cook my own food.

The most important thing my mom does for me is cook my food and buy toys. I eat a lot of food. I'm so blessed to have her!!

The best time I had with my mom was at the PNE. The first ride I went on was the Hellevator. I screamed the whole way and when I was at the top my shoe fell off. Then when I was going down I was laughing. I have the best mother.

Mamaz here are a few Tips for that elegant Office look from Fashionistas
Office Style
Lisa Finkelstein: Retro
Jewelry design director, J.Crew
HER SPLURGE: J.Crew party dress.
HER TRICKS: Invest in a simple A-line dress — a clean canvas for your unique look. Snap up lots of fun, affordable baubles, like enamel pins, to pile upon neutral basics. Shop for steals in new color combos. Play up your femininity at work — you can look just as confident in ribbons as in pinstripes. Enhance casual-Friday jeans with budget-friendly accessories, like a vibrant blouse, crystal belt, and big jewels. Emulate the late socialite Nan Kempner, who wore the same fabulous clothes over and over again in different ways. Transform a dress from party-frilly to polished with a shrunken jacket in a cool fabric. Keep everything — the more to mix and match with!

The Top Five Tips for Office Fashion
Getting dressed for the office can be daunting when dress code guidelines aren’t clear. With the advent of vague descriptions like “business casual”, “relaxed dress”, and “smart casual”, deciding what to wear can be downright confusing! Here are five fashion tips to help you get out the door looking your professional best:
Get it tight, get it right!
Shirts & jackets: The armholes of your shirts and blazers shouldn’t be too high (this makes it difficult to raise your arms) or too low, and the shoulder seam should hit at the point where your arm and shoulder meet.
Pants: Pants should fit your waist smoothly with no gaps. Avoid trousers that create visible “pull lines” from your crotch to your waist–this means they’re too small. Donate them to charity. The pants should be long enough to create a nice “break”, but not bunch at your ankles.
Dresses and skirts: Dresses and skirts that hit at mid-calf are only flattering on supermodels. For us regular folk, just below the knee length is best for the office.
2. Add a jacket or blazer. A well-fitted jacket can elevate your look from I-forgot-to-do-laundry casual to I-meant-to-wear-this stylish. Experiment with wearing it open and closed, belted and loose, to see what works for you. 3. It’s there in black and white Point blank, wearing black and white always works in professional situations–it’s basically foolproof. When you can’t decide what to wear to the big meeting, this classic color combination always works.
The easiest way to wear it is to pair solid black with solid white–just make sure your white is crisp and your black is pure, deep black. Add accessories for a splash of color or texture. Speaking of accessories…

Christian Louboutin shoes
Ladies can also experiment with earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, leg wear, and scarves (though not all at once!), while men can play around with ties, pocket squares, and cuff links. I’m a huge fan of scarves for both sexes, and there are plenty of online resources for ideas.
5. Mix classic and unique pieces for a look all your own Have fun with your look! Clothing can be a very effective form of self-expression as well as an indicator of professional status. Wear things that make you feel good, powerful and confident and you’re already halfway there.
