Attention mums-to-be! Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it’s also a time when your dental health needs special attention. Here’s why:
- 1. Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy hormones increase your risk of gum disease and other dental issues. Proper oral hygiene practices help prevent and manage gingivitis during pregnancy.
- 2. Morning Sickness: If you’re experiencing morning sickness, rinse your mouth with water or a fluoride mouthwash right after to neutralise the acid and protect your tooth enamel.
- 3. Cravings and Diet: Sugary cravings are common during pregnancy, while the occasional treat is usually harmless, do not over-indulge and opt for healthier snacks like fruits to keep your teeth cavity-free.
- 4. Dental Checkups: Don’t skip your dental appointments during pregnancy! It’s safe to visit the dentist for cleanings and checkups, and essential for maintaining good oral health.
