Pregnancy is a time to take extra special care of your teeth and gums. That’s because hormonal changes in your body during pregnancy can increase your chances of developing gum disease. Clinical studies have revealed that mouth infections have been shown to cause premature births and low birth weight babies.
So while you are pregnant, make sure you brush and floss every day. By combining this routine with a healthy, balanced diet and regular dental visits, you will not only help avoid dental problems of your own, you will also contribute to the healthy development of your baby.
