Baby Dental, Preventive dental cleanings and annual exams during pregnancy.
It is important to maintain good dental and oral health during pregnancy. In fact preventive dental cleanings and annual exams during pregnancy are not only safe, but are strongly recommended.
The rise in hormone levels during pregnancy can cause the gums to swell, bleed, and trap food causing increased irritation to your gums. Preventive dental work is essential to avoid oral infections such as gum disease, which has been linked to preterm birth.
