Dental Concerns During Pregnancy

How Pregnancy Will Affect Your Mouth?

Although many women make it nine months with no dental discomfort, pregnancy can make some conditions worse – or create new ones.
Regular checkups and good dental health habits can help keep you and your baby healthy.

Healthy Dental Habits to Practice During Pregnancy

Brush your teeth twice a day and floss once a day.

Dental health is an important part of your overall health. It’s also an important part of your pregnancy (prenatal) care.

How does pregnancy affect your dental health?
Changes in your body during pregnancy can affect your teeth and gums. For example:

You have increased levels of certain hormones, like progesterone and estrogen, in your body during pregnancy. These can increase your risk for certain oral health problems.
Your eating habits may change. You may eat more of certain foods during pregnancy than you did before you were pregnant. The kinds of food you eat can affect your dental health.
You may brush and floss your teeth less than you did before you got pregnant. This may be because your gums are tender or you’re more tired than usual. For some women, brushing and flossing may cause nausea (feeling sick to your stomach).
