  1. Learn How You Can Maintain Dental Health During Pregnancy Pregnancy is one of the most exciting phases of life. Your dental health may be the least of your concerns while you are pregnant and understandably so. However, what most people do not know is that your oral or dental health requires more care and attention than ever before when you are pregnant. It is not a secret that pregnancy makes several biological changes to the body and to your surprise, Yes, it can also impact your dental health.

  2. Pregnancy can have a negative impact on your oral health if you choose to ignore it. As mentioned before, pregnancy can cause notable changes to the gums and teeth. In this piece, our experts at Wondersmile which is one of the best dental hospitals in Pimpri Chinchwad have shared some of their insights on the relationship between pregnancy and dental health. Let’s take a look at some of the common oral health problems that could occur during pregnancy. Some of the most common dental health problems that are likely to occur during pregnancy include tooth decay, gingivitis, small growth on gums which are referred to as pregnancy tumours, and more. While you are pregnant, it is very important that you do not ignore your dental health as it can lead to complications.

  3. Common issues during pregnancy Gingivitis Pregnancy gingivitis is common and is a mild gum disease that can lead to swelling, irritation, and redness to the part of the gums that is closest to your teeth. If you do not address the condition when the time is right, gingivitis can mature into periodontal disease, a condition that can lead to tooth loss. Pregnancy gingivitis will more or less go away after the baby is born. Cavities Cavities are primarily caused when the protective layer of the tooth erodes. Cavities can be very uncomfortable and even the entire process of treating them. Pregnant women are more vulnerable to cavities due to a few reasons, such as dietary changes, high levels of acidity in the mouth due to increased snacking, poor oral hygiene, and dry mouth caused by vomiting and nausea. Hence, it is critical to ensure you do not compromise on your dental health during pregnancy.

  4. Pregnancy tumours Do not worry! Pregnancy tumours do not remotely mean cancer. According to our team of experts, a pregnancy tumour is overgrown tissues that can be seen on the gums, particularly during the second trimester of the pregnancy. As mentioned, it is not cancer but rather swelling between teeth. Maintaining Dental Health During Pregnancy Although you may not see any major changes to your dental health in the first trimester, it does not mean that you should start ignoring it. Do not stop brushing, rinsing, and flossing. Gums can become swollen during any trimester of the pregnancy which can cause periodontal disease or gingivitis. The surge in hormones during pregnancy often leads to dry mouth, particularly at night.

  5. There are many ways you can ensure that your dental health does not suffer during pregnancy. Here are a few tips to remember: •Rinse your mouth if you experience morning sickness. In case your toothpaste is not suiting you anymore and makes you nauseous, change your toothpaste. •Brush the front and the back teeth extremely well during pregnancy. Always make it a habit to clean the gumline properly to avoid gingivitis and also preventing dental caries. •Always brush after you have a midnight snack or indulge in sweet food products to satisfy your cravings. •Apart from brushing and flossing, use a fluoride mouthwash to rinse your mouth regularly.
