What is the relationship between pregnancy and oral health?

Many experienced couples know to go to the hospital for a checkup before having children, but there is one checkup that is often overlooked or not given enough attention during the checkup, and that is the oral checkup. There are many types of dental disease, so to speak: if you look into it, almost everyone has a dental disease. And the pregnancy period asked, out of the pregnant woman’s body endocrine level imbalance, hormone levels have also undergone some changes, the body’s ability to resist disease has also declined, which is when some hidden foci in the mouth will be active, such as periodontal disease, peri-coronitis and so on. “Toothache is not a disease, but pain kills”. When the dental disease flares up, you can’t even think of not going to the hospital. By the time you get to the hospital, because you are pregnant, in order to protect the baby in the abdomen, many tests with radioactivity can not be carried out, and many antibiotics can not be taken casually, and the emergence of these problems increases the complexity of dental disease treatment. Many dental diseases are treated conservatively, which means that the pain and other symptoms are eliminated temporarily, and then treated completely in the future after the birth of a child. Therefore, before you plan to have a child, you should purposefully go to the dentist to have your teeth checked, and have any fillings that should be filled, and any extractions that should be done, removed, as a matter of course. Generally speaking, try not to pull out the teeth during pregnancy, because many people will be more or less nervous when pulling out the teeth, for pregnant women is even more so, in addition to their own nervousness but also for the fetus in the abdomen. This can trigger contractions, and as a result, miscarriage or premature labor may occur. The first three months of pregnancy, pregnant women often have nausea, vomiting and other pregnancy reactions, the body is weaker, this time the extraction of teeth is easy to cause miscarriage, the second three months of external stimuli can easily lead to preterm labor. In the relatively safe stage of pregnancy from 4 to 6 months, when it comes to the necessity of extraction, you should weigh the pros and cons. Before extracting the tooth, relax your mind, and when extracting the tooth, anesthetize it fully, and operate as gently as possible to reduce the stimulation to the fetus.
