      What Dental Problems to Expect During Pregnancy?

      by adminon 7 March 2018in infertility

        Quick Enquiry

        In this post, we shall look at the possible dental problems that expectant women are likely to experience, common questions pertaining dental visits, and the ultimate solutions.

        Pregnancy & Dental/Oral Issues

        Dental or oral problems are common during pregnancy and any woman is likely to develop at least one or more dental issues. Dental or oral problems during pregnancy occur due to hormonal changes and it generally advisable for a pregnant woman to prioritize her dental visits for suitable treatment.

        What are the Common Dental/Oral Problems During Pregnancy?

        • Gingivitis

        Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums that can result in swelling, bleeding, and tenderness. This condition is more likely to occur during the second trimester and if left untreated, it can lead to more serious dental problems.

        • Pregnancy Oral Tumors

        These are growths that appear on the gums, commonly during the second trimester. Studies indicate that these growths are linked to plaque and usually disappear after childbirth.

        • Tooth Decay

        During pregnancy, your response to plaque increase because of the hormonal imbalances. You are also more likely to develop cavities and gum disease because of a laziness to brush.

        • Periodontal Disease

        Pregnant women with diagnosed or undiagnosed periodontal disease may experience worsened gum infection and can even lead to tooth loss.

        Common Symptoms of Dental Problems During Pregnancy

        The following are some of the indicators for dental problems during pregnancy that will automatically require you to see a dentist.

        • Bleeding gums

        • Bad breath

        • Sores in the mouth

        • Toothache

        • Sensitivity

        • Loose teeth

        Is it Safe to Visit a Dentist During Pregnancy?

        For decades, a number of OB-GYNs and pregnant women have seen no goodness in seeing a dentist for a checkup or treatment as it is generally termed as unhealthy. However, according to the American Dental Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and a number of studies encourage pregnant women to visit a dentist during pregnancy whether with or without any dental issue.

        Medical Findings Of Dental Issues During Pregnancy

        Studies indicate that women who suffer from gum disease during pregnancy have increased chances of premature birth and low birth weight. According to these studies, more than nineteen premature births out of 100 may be caused by periodontal disease.

        Also, babies born prematurely have increased chances of suffering from a wide range of health problems such as developmental issues and cerebral palsy.

        Let’s Talk About the X-rays

        According to the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, X-rays used during pregnancy are safe. The radiation from these X-rays is low and the doctor will generally protect you from this radiation.

        Vital Dental/Oral Care Tips During Pregnancy

        • Brush Twice a day

        • Don’t brush immediately after vomiting, wait for at least 4 minutes to prevent the effect of the acid on your gums

        • Rinse your mouth with an alcohol-free mouthwash

        • Floss whenever required

        • Increase your calcium intake

        • Don’t follow your cravings, but rather balanced meals

        • Increase fruits and vegetable intake

        • Visit your dentist every four months
