Pregnancy comes with many
responsibilities for expecting mothers as they need to ensure that baby is
growing healthily and oral health is one that should not be overlooked.
During pregnancy, hormones
will fluctuate and will not only affect a soon-to-be-mother’s emotional
well-being, but also her oral health due to the significant increase of
estrogen and progesterone hormones in the body.
A good oral care regiment
during this period is essential and you will benefit in having a memorable and smooth
journey to motherhood.
Dental
Visits Before, During and After Pregnancy:
- Before pregnancy:
When you are trying to get pregnant, make a dental appointment so that
your dentist can assess your oral health condition and ensure that your
gums are thoroughly checked and taken care of in advance of your pregnancy
- During pregnancy:
Don’t skip your dental visit during pregnancy. Let your dentist know which
month you are in and your dentist will assess and give your teeth a
professional cleaning to minimizepregnancy-related dental issues such as pregnancy
gingivitis e.g. gums that bleed easily/ swollen gums
- After pregnancy:
For mothers who have gum problems during pregnancy, your dentist might have
postponed certain procedures until post-delivery as a precautionary
measure. Follow-up with your dentist after delivery for re-evaluation of
your dental health.
