🤰🦷 Pregnancy & Oral Health
Did you know that pregnancy can affect your oral health too?
Hormonal changes during pregnancy can make your gums more sensitive and more prone to inflammation. Changes in eating habits can also increase the risk of dental problems.
Here are a few simple ways to care for your smile while pregnant:
🪥 Brush your teeth regularly with fluoride toothpaste.
🦷 Clean between your teeth through flossing or other appropriate interdental cleaning.
🍭 Limit frequent sugary snacks and drinks.
💧 Drink plenty of water.
👩⚕️🦷 Keep your dental check-ups and tell your dentist that you are pregnant.
Taking care of your oral health is part of taking care of you and your baby. 💜
For general patient education only. Please consult your dentist or OB-Gyn for personalized advice.
