Dental care in pregnancy.
Changes in hormones can affect your oral health during pregnancy: progesterone can reach around ten times its baseline, increasing susceptibility to periodontal disease.
What to expect
Common, manageable, worth monitoring.
Enamel can weaken when stomach acids sit on the teeth; pregnancy granulomas, harmless red nodules on the upper gums, may appear; and dry mouth is easily managed with hydration.
We recommend a thorough examination during pregnancy to maintain oral health and prevent long-term complications.
