  1. The Pregnant Women's Guide to Dental Health

  2. It is important to care for your teeth and gums before pregnancy and during pregnancy During pregnancy hormonal changes can make your gums more easily irritated and inflamed. If you develop red, puffy or tender gums that bleed when you brush, you may be experiencing an exaggerated response to plaque that builds up on your teeth, this is an indication that you need dental visit.

  3. What are the Dental Problems during Pregnancy? The Dental problems that pregnancy can trigger are as: Cavities- These are small and damaged surfaces on teeth. They increase the risk of germs breeding as a result of which the germs may travel down through the digestive system while eating, affecting pregnancy and the fetus. Loose teeth- Certain hormone released during pregnancy or plaque may weaken the gums, making the tooth fragile and loose. Gingivitis- It is a condition in which gums become red and inflamed. Pregnancy can trigger Gingivitis. In-fact, 60-75 % of pregnant women suffer from this.

  4. Periodontal Disease- Gingivitis if untreated may cause serious periodontal problems. It may affect your gums and bones that are attached to teeth. This may seriously affect the orientation of your teeth, so it’s better to seek medical intervention. You can consult a dentist in Wakad to avoid any later complications. Tooth corrosion- In pregnancy, it is common to have nausea and vomiting known as morning sickness. Vomiting exposes teeth to acidity. Since teeth are made of calcium, exposure to excess acidity leads to slow reaction causing corrosion of teeth. patient can have sensitivity in the teeth

  5. Preventative Tips You can prevent oral health problems in pregnancy by following very simple steps such as: Don't brush your teeth for at least 30 minutes after vomiting or reflux. This will give the enamel time to recover from the acid attack. Do rinse your mouth with water after you vomit to help wash the acid away, and smear some fluoride toothpaste on your teeth to refresh your mouth and help strengthen enamel. Brush and Floss- Make sure to brush with fluoride toothpaste twice a day, as fluoride toothpaste prevents cavities. Also, floss at least once a day.

  6. Visit the dentist- Visit the dentist at least twice in your term. Eat a diet rich with calcium, B12 and vitamin C to help keep gums healthy. Eat healthy food and avoid consuming too much sour and sweet food- Too much acidic or sweet food can trigger tooth problems.
