Recommendations for pregnant women

It should be remembered that pregnancy is not a pathological condition. It does not eliminate the possibility of treating teeth during it. The only limitation is tooth extractions, so planned extractions of wisdom teeth should be performed before pregnancy.

Dental check-ups throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding should take place every 3 months. Professional hygienization should also not be avoided.

During pregnancy, there are many changes in the hormonal balance resulting in swelling or inflammation of the gums, which makes it difficult to maintain proper hygiene.

In the case of bleeding gums, use a solution of 3% hydrogen peroxide in the ratio of one tablespoon to half a glass of water, Dentosept solution according to the instructions and report to the control as soon as possible.

Proper oral hygiene of the mother is important not only for her, but also for the baby. Bacteria and their toxins present in inflammation and purulent conditions enter the mother’s bloodstream and then, along with food, are passed on to the baby.

When planning to become pregnant, it is best to perform a full sanitation of the oral cavity and thorough X-ray diagnostics in order to eliminate any inflammatory foci that may be potentially exacerbated during pregnancy, when the treatment of advanced inflammatory changes is difficult.
