Yesterday I received a phone call from an old classmate in Shanghai, his lover was pregnant for 2 months with tooth pain, I couldn’t do anything about it and couldn’t come up with any good ideas, but in order to avoid such problems for more mothers-to-be, I wrote a small article today, I hope it will help you! I have been working in a dental hospital for many years, and I personally feel that more than 50% of pregnant women suffer from oral diseases. I have been working in a dental hospital for many years, and I personally feel that more than 50% of pregnant women suffer from oral diseases. I often receive women who visit the hospital for oral diseases such as caries and gingivitis during pregnancy. Moreover, it is found that the oral health of pregnant women directly affects the health of babies, and the preterm birth rate (below 32 weeks) of pregnant women with periodontitis is 3-7 times higher than that of normal pregnant women, and the birth of low weight babies or perinatal mortality is 15%-30% higher than that of normal ones, so caring for teeth should start from the mother-to-be. During pregnancy, women’s life pattern will change, the number of eating will increase, they love snacks and sweet and sour food, women who do not have caries before pregnancy may suffer from caries during pregnancy, and those who have caries before pregnancy may have more caries after pregnancy, if they do not pay attention to oral hygiene, they will easily suffer from gingivitis during pregnancy; pregnant women who have smoking habits may cause loose teeth, and even increase the risk of fetal malformation. Suggestion: cure the oral disease before pregnancy! It is recommended that ladies who want to have a baby should have an oral examination before preparing for pregnancy to avoid necessary troubles during pregnancy!!! Because if a pregnant woman suffers from oral diseases such as dental caries, gingivitis and periodontal disease it is likely to lead to premature delivery. If a pregnant woman already suffers from dental disease and really needs treatment, then please do it in the middle of pregnancy, between the 4th and 6th month of pregnancy. Of course, the best way to avoid oral disease during pregnancy is to get rid of it before getting pregnant!
