yes tooth infection is associated with
prematures babies and miscarriages so you
should know that:
During pregnancy, your body, including
your teeth, goes through many changes, .
Your gums may turn red and swell because
of the increase of hormones in your body.
This is known as pregnancy gingivitis. If
you don’t brush and floss regularly,
harmful plaque will build up around your
teeth and gums, and you can get gum
disease and tooth decay (cavities).
Tips on Good Dental Care
• Brush after every meal and before
bedtime.
• Use dental floss at least once a day
to clean teeth and to remove
plaque around the gums.
• If your gums hurt, don’t stop
brushing or flossing. You should see your
dentist. Your dentist and dental hygienist
can help you prevent gingivitis.
• Be careful about medications,
including painkillers and antibiotics.
Some medications are harmful to your
unborn baby. If you take medication, take
it only under your dentist or doctor’s
recommendations.
• Watch what you eat. Do not snack on
sugary foods like cookies and candies.
Brush your teeth after meals and snacks.
• See your doctor or dentist if you have
any questions.
When to See the Dentist
The best time to see a dentist is during
the middle part of pregnancy (second
trimester). This is the time when most
pregnant women are comfortable enough to
visit the dentist.
Months 1 to 3 (First Trimester)
This is not a good time to get dental work
such as exams, fillings, extractions, etc.
You should see a dentist only for teeth
cleanings and emergency cases. Regular
dental treatment can wait until months 4
to 6.
Months 4 to 6 (Second Trimester)
This is a good time to get dental work
such as exams, fillings, extractions, gum
care, root canal therapy, and dental
x-rays. Pregnant women should wear a lead
apron with a collar to protect the baby
when x-rays are taken. Other dental work
like crowns, bridges, and most surgery
should be postponed until after the
baby’s birth.
Months 7 to 9 (Third Trimester)
If you are not comfortable sitting in a
dental chair for a long period of time,
dental visits should be kept short or get
dental work after the baby is born.
