description Menopause is often seen as a taboo subject within the workplace, yet it affects around half of the population. Within dentistry, as of 2019, 92.6% of dental care professionals and 50.9% of dentists were women.

Outside of dentistry, employers are starting to realise the effects that menopause can have on colleagues, friends and family.
