Dental Care During Pregnancy

Tell your dentist you are pregnant, your due date and any other medical information. Dental visits are important and safe, especially when pregnant. The dentist can help spot potential problems before they become an issue.

The hormones of pregnancy make you more at risk for gum disease. Signs include bleeding or swollen gums. Untreated gum disease is linked to low birth weight and preterm births.

The supporting structures of your teeth may temporarily loosen, making teeth feel wiggly.

Some women get pregnancy tumors (pyogenic granulomas) on their gums. These painless red and puffy lumps bleed easily and usually clear up after delivery.

Let your dentist know right away if you have any of these signs or symptoms and remember, prevention is the best cure.

Brush your teeth at least two times a day using a soft bristled toothbrust and fluoride toothpaste.

Get a new toothbrush every three months.

Floss your teeth every day to clean between your teeth where a toothbrush can't reach.
