Hi, I'm Sharon!

Sharon Corcoran is a registered dental hygienist with a Master's degree in dental hygiene. She researched the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of dental hygienists in regard to how menopause affects oral health.

Dental Hygiene & Menopause?

After hundreds of hours of research, clinical findings, and conducting studies - here’s what I’ve learned: Hormones have a drastic impact on oral health. Most oral health professionals underserve menopausal patients - not because they don’t care, but because they simply don’t know any better. Menopausal women NEED and DESERVE specialized oral health care. I’ve completely transformed how I assess, treat, and communicate with menopausal patients in the dental hygiene chair.

88%

of Dental Hygienists say they never offer specific education on the link between menopause and oral health.

76%

of hygienists felt dental hygiene school did not prepare them to educate their patients on the oral changes during menopause.

96%

of dental hygienists reported wanting to learn more about menopause and its effects on oral health.

Honest and Efficient

"The menopause masterclass brings the taboo topic of menopause to the table with an easy to understand guide.   Sharon has given me the tools and knowledge to recognize changes in the oral cavity due to hormonal changes.  This class is worth every minute of information and I look forward to bringing patient education to the next level! "

- Lindsay, RDH

Relative and Applicable

 "The program is in 6 different videos that allowed me to watch each one when I had time. The prerecorded format was convenient for my busy schedule! This program taught me important facts about menopause and oral health that I did not learn in dental hygiene school. Sharon was available for any questions I had."

- Jessica, RDH

Creative & Resourceful

"As a dental hygienist, I confidently discuss with my patients how to manage their oral health through stages of life from infancy to adulthood to pregnancy. With the knowledge learned from the Menopause Masters class, I feel more comfortable discussing the changes of menopause with my patients. This class has equipped me to manage my female patients’ oral health through all stages of life. I would recommend this class to any dental professional looking to expand their knowledge on menopause."
