Why do pregnant women often have toothache?

Changes in hormone levels in a woman’s body after pregnancy can reduce the resistance of the gums to inflammatory reactions, making pregnant women more susceptible to oral diseases such as tooth decay, periodontitis and gingivitis. Changes in dietary preferences and inadequate oral cleaning after pregnancy can aggravate existing oral problems and eventually lead to toothache.
Therefore, it is recommended that oral problems need to be dealt with in advance when preparing for pregnancy, pay attention to oral hygiene during pregnancy, and don’t shy away from seeking medical help to diagnose and treat pain if it occurs.
