Due to the cautious use of medication during pregnancy, pregnant women are left with the pain of toothache. Because of the changes in estrogen and progesterone during pregnancy, pregnant women are especially prone to dental problems. It is known that two-thirds of stillbirths in developed countries are caused by premature births, and 18% of premature babies may be related to the mother’s oral disease. Pregnant women will have endocrine changes in their bodies, which will also cause periodontal changes, plus the body’s immune system decreases at this time, if the pregnant woman itself periodontal condition is not good, it will cause gingivitis during pregnancy, gum redness and bleeding and other symptoms. This is when pregnant women suffer from toothache and have to go to the dental hospital. However, if the dental treatment requires medication, some antibiotic drugs are used, which are prohibited for pregnant women. Besides, the pain and irritation brought by the treatment may also lead to preterm abortion in pregnant women. Therefore, the great wisdom of pregnancy preparation is to stop the sprouting of dental wisdom! Why do dentists advise women to have their wisdom teeth removed before pregnancy? You need to take care of your wisdom teeth before you get pregnant! There are some wisdom teeth that the dentist may tell you “if the tooth is not painful or swollen, you don’t have to deal with it for now”, but as soon as you hear that you are pregnant, you will immediately change your mind and say “pull it out, otherwise it will be very troublesome when you are pregnant”. It’s strange, isn’t it? The reason is actually “pregnancy”. Being a mother is great because the process requires a lot of effort and is very difficult. From a dentistry point of view, this is also true. Get rid of your wisdom teeth before you get pregnant! In the first and second trimester (months 1, 2, 3, 7, 8 and 9), invasive procedures such as tooth extraction are not possible because the risk of miscarriage and premature birth would be very high and I’m afraid no doctor would be willing to take that risk to extract your teeth. Therefore, if a problem such as pericoronitis occurs during pregnancy, the doctor will tend to be conservative and only do some emergency treatment such as rinsing, and then the mother-to-be will have to endure the period by herself; in case a “pitfall” such as pericoronitis abscess or pulpitis hits during pregnancy, it will be quite tricky, and it is impossible to endure it, but It’s hard for doctors to deal with it, even if they take medicine or pull out a tooth. Once you are pregnant, your body hormones change dramatically and you are prone to periodontal problems during these ten months. First of all, the incidence of gingivitis (swelling and bleeding of the flesh of the teeth) will increase dramatically, and the incidence of gum tumors (a lumpy growth on the flesh of the teeth) will also increase. That’s why dentists will recommend a dental cleaning before pregnancy, to get as many of the hidden problems that can be foreseen under control. Lastly, doctors do not usually take X-rays during pregnancy, and there is academic controversy in this country and abroad as to whether X-rays can affect pregnant women. But the result of these academic debates in society is that doctors generally do not take X-rays of pregnant women, avoiding them. If you don’t take a picture of your teeth, many dental operations are blind, purely by feel and experience. Many other operations are also the same, although the treatment of toothache during pregnancy, porcelain teeth and other operations can be done, but can not take pictures to assist, the dilemma occasionally occur. The reason for all this is to tell the sisters who are preparing for pregnancy that many dental problems become more difficult during pregnancy, so dentists generally give relatively aggressive treatment recommendations for women who are preparing for pregnancy. Many of the problems that you might normally turn a blind eye to will not be spared at this time, and you will be strongly advised to take care of all of them before you get pregnant, so that you won’t be unable to help!
