Dental Care During Pregnancy: Ensuring Optimal Oral Health
Why Is Dental Care Important During Pregnancy?
During pregnancy, hormonal changes can affect your gums and teeth, increasing the risk of oral health issues. Conditions such as pregnancy gingivitis and increased plaque build-up can arise. Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits are crucial to prevent these issues and ensure both maternal and fetal health.Common Dental Issues During Pregnancy
- Pregnancy Gingivitis: Swollen, tender gums that bleed easily.
