Learn How You Can Maintain Dental Health During
Pregnancy

• Pregnancy is one of the most exciting phases of
  life. Your dental health may be the least of your
  concerns while you are pregnant and
  understandably so. However, what most people do
  not know is that your oral or dental health
  requires more care and attention than ever before
  when you are pregnant.
• It is not a secret that pregnancy makes several
  biological changes to the body and to your
  surprise, Yes, it can also impact your dental
  health.

• Pregnancy can have a negative impact on your oral
  health if you choose to ignore it. As mentioned
  before, pregnancy can cause notable changes to
  the gums and teeth.
• In this piece, our experts at Wondersmile which
  is one of the best dental hospitals in Pimpri
  Chinchwad have shared some of their insights on
  the relationship between pregnancy and dental
  health.
• Lets take a look at some of the common oral
  health problems that could occur during
  pregnancy.
• Some of the most common dental health problems
  that are likely to occur during pregnancy include
  tooth decay, gingivitis, small growth on gums
  which are referred to as pregnancy tumours, and
  more.
• While you are pregnant, it is very important that
  you do not ignore your dental health as it can
  lead to complications.

• Common issues during pregnancy
• Gingivitis
• Pregnancy gingivitis is common and is a mild gum
  disease that can lead to swelling, irritation,
  and redness to the part of the gums that is
  closest to your teeth.
• If you do not address the condition when the time
  is right, gingivitis can mature into periodontal
  disease, a condition that can lead to tooth loss.
  Pregnancy gingivitis will more or less go away
  after the baby is born.
• Cavities
• Cavities are primarily caused when the protective
  layer of the tooth erodes. Cavities can be very
  uncomfortable and even the entire process of
  treating them.
• Pregnant women are more vulnerable to cavities
  due to a few reasons, such as dietary changes,
  high levels of acidity in the mouth due to
  increased snacking, poor oral hygiene, and dry
  mouth caused by vomiting and nausea. Hence, it is
  critical to ensure you do not compromise on your
  dental health during pregnancy.

• Pregnancy tumours
• Do not worry! Pregnancy tumours do not remotely
  mean cancer. According to our team of experts, a
  pregnancy tumour is overgrown tissues that can be
  seen on the gums, particularly during the second
  trimester of the pregnancy.
• As mentioned, it is not cancer but rather
  swelling between teeth.
• Maintaining Dental Health During Pregnancy
• Although you may not see any major changes to
  your dental health in the first trimester, it
  does not mean that you should start ignoring it.
  Do not stop brushing, rinsing, and flossing.
• Gums can become swollen during any trimester of
  the pregnancy which can cause periodontal disease
  or gingivitis. The surge in hormones during
  pregnancy often leads to dry mouth, particularly
  at night.

• There are many ways you can ensure that your
  dental health does not suffer during pregnancy.
• Here are a few tips to remember
• Rinse your mouth if you experience morning
  sickness. In case your toothpaste is not suiting
  you anymore and makes you nauseous, change your
  toothpaste.
• Brush the front and the back teeth extremely
  well during pregnancy. Always make it a habit to
  clean the gumline properly to avoid gingivitis
  and also preventing dental caries.
• Always brush after you have a midnight snack or
  indulge in sweet food products to satisfy your
  cravings.
• Apart from brushing and flossing, use a fluoride
  mouthwash to rinse your mouth regularly.

  problems away during pregnancy, you should still
