health tip: Pregnancy and Oral Health

During pregnancy some women may find they are prone to pregnancy gingivitis. Pregnancy gingivitis is a mild form of gum disease that causes gums to be red, tender and sore. You

	can avoid gingivitis by keeping your teeth clean. Your dentist
	may suggest regular cleanings to help control gingivitis. If you
	see any changes in your mouth during pregnancy, see your
	dentist. If gingivitis is not treated, it can lead to more
	serious gum disease.	fact:
	Oral health during pregnancy:
		Pregnant women are
	• You are much more likely to develop red,
		more likely to develop
	swollen and bleeding gums, which are all
	signs of gingivitis	gingivitis and other oral
	• Even small lumps can appear along the gum	bacterial infections.
		tip: Rinse between
	line or between teeth

• Continue to see your dentist for regular checkups	brushings
• Continue to see your dentist for regular checkups
and dental cleanings to ensure oral health and to
prevent or treat cavities that may arise
• Keep and maintain your oral hygiene habits	Check for red, swollen gums - a sign of gingivitis

X-rays during pregnancy:

Pregnant woman are often worried about x-rays during pregnancy. This is normal. In a lot of cases, your dentist may choose to wait from taking x-rays until after your pregnancy. Your dental office may check with your doctor before recommending x-rays.

Dental x-rays are sometimes needed if you have a dental emergency or need a dental problem diagnosed. Your dentist or hygienist will cover you with a lead apron that reduces radiation contact to the abdomen. Your dental office will also, whenever possible, use a lead collar to protect the thyroid from radiation.

Oral health:

Oral health is important for your overall health and the health of your baby. If you have any questions on how to brush and floss correctly, to ensure you’re removing as much plaque and bacteria as possible, talk to your dentist, and he/she will show you how to correctly brush, floss and help you with oral health.

Tip: Rinse between brushings

Rinsing 2x a day with a quality ADA approved mouthwash will keep your teeth, gums and mouth clean, while getting more protection in killing plaque bacteria

This is especially important if flossing is not part of your daily routine
