To all our mothers: Thank You
As we celebrate mothers all around the world, it's important to remember that pregnancy can have an impact on oral health.
Pregnancy can have an impact on oral health in several ways. According to the American Dental Association, as many as 40% of pregnant women may experience some form of gum disease during their pregnancy due to hormonal changes. Additionally, up to 70% of pregnant women may develop pregnancy gingivitis, which is a mild form of gum disease that causes redness, swelling, and bleeding of the gums. Here are some ways pregnancy can affect oral health:
Hormonal changes: Increased levels of hormones such as estrogen and progesterone can affect oral tissues and increase the risk of gum disease, which can lead to bleeding gums and periodontitis.
Morning sickness: Frequent vomiting due to morning sickness can cause erosion of tooth enamel, leading to tooth sensitivity and an increased risk of cavities.
Cravings for sugary or acidic foods: Pregnancy cravings can lead to increased consumption of sugary and acidic foods, which can also increase the risk of tooth decay.
Pregnancy tumors: These are noncancerous growths that can develop on the gums during pregnancy, most commonly in the second trimester. They are typically painless and go away after pregnancy, but can interfere with oral hygiene and make it difficult to clean teeth and gums effectively.
First and foremost, it's important to maintain good oral hygiene habits during pregnancy. This includes brushing teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and visiting the dentist regularly for cleanings and checkups. Pregnant women should also inform their dentist of their pregnancy and any medications they may be taking.
In addition to maintaining good oral hygiene habits, there are other steps you can take to promote oral health during pregnancy. These include:
Eating a healthy and balanced diet: A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help support oral health and overall health during pregnancy.
Drinking plenty of water: Drinking water can help flush away bacteria and food particles that can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.
Avoiding sugary and acidic foods and drinks: Sugary and acidic foods and drinks can increase the risk of tooth decay and erosion of tooth enamel.
Managing morning sickness: If you experience frequent vomiting due to morning sickness, try rinsing your mouth with water or a fluoride mouthwash to help neutralize the acid in the mouth.
