Pregnancy and Dental care

Pregnancy affects nearly every aspect of a woman’s physical health, including her teeth.

If you’re expecting, you may have noticed some changes in your oral health or dental
routine. Here are a few things that pregnancy can do to your teeth and mouth:

1) Pregnancy-Induced Gingivitis. It’s common to notice changes in your gums during

pregnancy. In some cases, gums may look redder, or bleed as you brush your teeth. Some
women also have severe swelling and bleeding in the gums during this time. In many cases,
this condition is directly related to being pregnant.

2) Excess saliva. Sometimes, pregnancy can make you feel like there is too much saliva in
your mouth. This condition is common early on but typically decreases toward the end of
the first trimester.

3) Dry mouth. On the other end of the spectrum, pregnancy can cause dry mouth syndrome.
Fortunately, this is easy to combat by staying hydrated and sucking sugarless hard candies
to stimulate saliva production.

Here are a few things you can avoid to have a bad oral health during pregnancy:

1) Routine dental check-ups

It is always beneficial to have a routine dental check-up and not wait until there is a
discomfort or problem. During pregnancy, it is all the more essential to keep your dentists
visits regular. Keeping the dentist aware of any medical condition relevant to your
pregnancy and any unusual symptoms might help them in helping you maintain a good oral
hygiene and use the right kind of oral products.

2) Cleaning more often

Pregnancy increases the chances of gingivitis. To maintain a good oral hygiene, a pregnant
woman must clean and rinse the mouth more often to remove any food residue or acid
build up.

3) Following a healthy oral regime

Along with regular brushing and flossing, a pregnant woman must follow a higher degree of
care. Regular rinsing of mouth with water and with a mouthwash to eliminate plaque, germs
and acid build up. It is not advisable to brush teeth immediately after vomiting as it
increases the risk of damage to the gums due to the high level of acidity present in the
vomit.
4) Right diet

While it is normal for a pregnant woman to crave for all kinds of food, limiting the cravings
to healthy food options and opting less sugary and more nutritious food like fruits and
vegetables.
