This is because hormonal changes after pregnancy, among other things, can aggravate existing dental problems mentioned above. Of course, she will not ignore the father-to-be’s dental examination, because kissing may also infect tooth decay. Second, pregnancy 1, after eating acidic food so that dental care Although acidic food is more stimulating to the teeth, but acidophilus is the instinct of pregnant women, as long as the timely use of white water after eating many times rinse mouth, can minimize the damage to the teeth. In addition, the dentist mom will definitely avoid cold and raw foods, because they are more harmful to the teeth than sour plums. A special reminder to rinse your mouth in time after eating sweets as well, because all sweets become acidic after entering the mouth. Of course, the backflow of stomach acid in the phenomenon of pregnancy vomiting will also hurt the teeth (especially the tongue side of the teeth), at this time also need to rinse the mouth several times in time with white water. 2, the first three months of pregnancy, try to avoid any form of dental examination The first three months of pregnancy is a critical period of embryonic development, brain nerves, heart, blood vessels, facial organs, limbs, etc. are formed at this stage, a little improper drugs or dose of X-ray exposure may cause unexpected consequences. Therefore, during this stage, the dentist mother will try to avoid any kind of dental examination, including teeth cleaning. By the end of pregnancy, as external stimuli can easily lead to sensitive uterine contractions, so at that stage, again try to avoid all dental examinations. 3, if dental disease occurs during pregnancy this treatment If dental disease occurs after pregnancy, the dentist mom will choose in the mid-pregnancy (this stage of the pregnant woman’s condition is more stable, the stomach will not be too big), such as the fifth trimester of pregnancy to do dental checkups or to complete the scaling, fillings and other most of the dental treatment. But she will postpone dental surgery, such as wisdom teeth extraction, root tip surgery, etc. until after delivery. Third, the baby 1, so that the baby did not grow teeth to provide nutritional support The baby’s first loud cry, although nothing on the pink bed of teeth, but in the bed of teeth, 20 milk teeth and a number of permanent teeth buds have long been lined up. Therefore, the dentist mother will promptly give itself rich calcium, phosphorus and minerals, through the milk to these strong milk teeth necessary material basis to provide to the baby. 2, so help the baby clean milk teeth milk teeth is an important chewing tool, its existence also for the future growth of permanent teeth to leave a gap. If a milk tooth is decayed or extracted, its neighboring teeth may be displaced, and when the permanent teeth erupt, they will not be aligned due to insufficient space, or lead to premature eruption, delayed eruption of permanent teeth. Therefore, every time after drinking milk, the dentist mother will put a sterile gauze on the finger or a kind of paper toothbrush available in the market to gently wipe the baby’s milk teeth, tongue, gums and oral mucosa. Use light salt water during the cleaning process and never give your baby adult fluoride toothpaste. 3, choose these teething foods for your baby When your baby is teething, he will be irritable and salivate more, because he really does not like that hard thing that chokes his tongue that appears at some time. This is when the dentist mom will prepare teething gel rings and teething foods to ease the discomfort of the baby. Cut into small pieces of unpeeled apples, celery thin strips of fine fiber, carrot pieces, etc. are good food for baby teething. 4, so that the prevention of the baby jaw Whether the baby has dental caries has been the focus of attention, but in many cases, the baby also exists in the case of milk teeth jaw, that is, commonly known as the “heaven”. As the baby’s anti-mandibular symptoms from the outside is not obvious to adults, so it is easy to be ignored, the dentist mother’s preventive approach is not to let the baby lie on his back for a long time to eat milk, do not put the bottle too far forward on, so as not to baby’s jaw forward sucking. 5, so that the use of soothers 2 years old, when the baby cries more than, dentist mother to the baby to use soothers, because this will not lead to oral tissue or dental development deformities; but 2 years old should avoid the long-term use of soothers, otherwise it may lead to the upper and lower teeth bite incorrectly, and even affect the growth of the jawbone, leading to deformation of the baby’s upper and lower lips, and so on. 6, so take the baby to the dentist Dentist mom will take the baby to do the first dental examination when the baby is full of 1 year old, which is also the recommendation of the American Dental Association. Of course, if the baby’s teeth are kept clean every day, then you can wait until the age of 3, to see the dentist after all the baby’s milk teeth have successfully completed growth. In order to prepare the baby, she will first play a “role-playing game” with the baby, where she pretends to be the doctor checking the baby’s teeth, and then the baby tries to play the role of the doctor.
