The other day, I bumped into a few pregnant patients who came to see me for dental care, some with pulp (nerve) inflammation, some with root inflammation, some with wisdom tooth inflammation, and some with frequent bleeding from the dental bed. One of the more serious is a friend’s sister I know, only 2 weeks from the due date, the occurrence of bilateral wisdom teeth pericoronitis combined with bilateral submandibular space infection, high fever does not go down, the mouth can not open, a few days can not eat, to a number of hospitals are not afraid to give the treatment, and ultimately came to our hospital, hospitalized in the implementation of large incision and drainage surgery, the patient is a variety of bacterial infections (gas-producing bacteria have), but during pregnancy, the patient is a variety of bacteria (gas-producing bacteria have), but during the pregnancy, the patient is a variety of bacterial infections (gas-producing bacteria have). The patient was infected with a variety of bacteria (gas-producing bacteria), but many medications can not be used during pregnancy, and finally the due date has come and gone, until the child was born and then treated for a week before being discharged from the hospital, I told my friend a lot of dental problems, but also exclaimed why he did not bring his sister to the treatment earlier. In fact, the patient has always known that she has two wisdom teeth and will be inflamed once in a while, but just did not pay attention to it, anyway, every time the inflammation to take some medicine, but this time she is a pregnant woman, a lot of places do not dare to give treatment, and so delayed again and again. In the clinic, I found that many pregnant women already knew that they had sick teeth before they got pregnant, but they didn’t pay attention to it when they got better later on. I told them that it would have been better if they had been examined and treated before they got pregnant. Now they suffer more than ordinary patients because pregnant women tend to be nauseous and find it difficult to cooperate with the treatment, and many of the checkups and treatments may harm the baby. Many pregnant women end up choosing to simply deal with the problem and endure the pain of dental disease until after the birth of their babies before receiving regular treatment. What should a mom-to-be do to maintain her oral cavity before and during pregnancy? First of all, it is recommended to cure the dental disease before getting pregnant. Oral examination and preventive treatment should be done before pregnancy, tooth decay should be filled in time, the root of the tooth that can not be retained and the wisdom teeth that can not grow should be extracted in time, the oral hygiene is poor through scaling and other ways to remove calculus, and to develop a good habit of brushing in the morning and evening, and there are wisdom teeth that are not in a good position and prone to inflammation of the first preventive removal of wisdom teeth. Secondly, during pregnancy, we must pay attention to oral health care. Because of the hormonal changes in the body during pregnancy, it is more likely to have inflammation of the gums, dietary sweet food intake is more, it is more likely to suffer from dental caries. Common oral diseases during pregnancy include periodontal disease of pregnancy, gingivoma of pregnancy, tooth decay, and pericoronitis. Again, pregnant women who have dental disease must be treated as soon as possible to nip the disease in the bud, and be sure to go to a regular hospital or clinic for treatment, because the treatment of dental disease is more important to protect the little baby. During pregnancy, we generally do some simple, conservative dental treatment, physical condition allows fillings, scaling or dental routine checkups can be carried out. If necessary treatment or general dental procedures such as periodontal therapy or simple extractions are needed, they should be performed in the middle of the pregnancy (4th, 5th, and 6th months) to avoid miscarriage in the first trimester or preterm labor in the second trimester. If it is necessary to use medication to control the condition, the physician can only choose medication that has no effect on the fetus. The choice of medication at this time is narrower, and the results are sometimes poor. X-rays are generally avoided in pregnancy to avoid radiation damage. Pregnancy makes the examination and treatment limited to a certain extent, so pre-pregnancy oral examination and treatment is something that can not be ignored. Remind these lovely moms-to-be never forget, dental disease early treatment, why have to wait until pregnancy it, everything should be prevented before it ah!
