While you may be planning to spend a lot of time with your primary physician, it\u2019s critical not to forget about your dental health too! Pregnancy causes many changes in your body and the side-effects impact your teeth and gums. Ignoring dental care during pregnancy can lead to health issues for you or your baby. Read on to learn about how to plan and what to expect during this exciting period in your life.<\/p>\n<h2>Let Your Dentist Know That You\u2019re Pregnant<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s likely that you will notify your physician when you discover you\u2019re pregnant. But it\u2019s important to let all your medical providers know \u2013 including your dentist. Your pregnancy impacts your dental health just as much as it impacts the rest of your health. While elective procedures should be postponed until after you have your baby, standard dental care during pregnancy is critical. Contact your dentist and start planning the best time for your checkups over the next nine months.<\/p>\n<h2>Dental Health Risks Associated with Pregnancy<\/h2>\n<h3>Pregnancy Gingivitis<\/h3>\n<p>The most common risk to your dental health is something known as \u201cpregnancy gingivitis.\u201d During pregnancy, the body produces a heightened level of progesterone. This promotes increased bacteria growth in your mouth, and makes you more likely to develop <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toledodentistry.com\/gum-disease-treatment.php\">plaque that causes gingivitis<\/a>. It\u2019s estimated that around 40% of women experience pregnancy gingivitis at some point during their pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p>Just like typical gingivitis, there are several indicators that you should visit your dentist for treatment:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tender gums<\/li>\n<li>Swollen Gums<\/li>\n<li>Reddening gums<\/li>\n<li>Gums that bleed when brushed or flossed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you notice any of these signs, schedule an appointment to visit your dentist soon. While gingivitis is a mild form of gum disease, it leads directly to periodontal disease when untreated. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toledodentistry.com\/blog\/2017\/02\/24\/connection-periodontal-disease-heart-disease\/\">Periodontitis is a severe form of gum disease which can cause serious harm to your health<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Pregnancy Tumors<\/h3>\n<p>Gingivitis isn\u2019t the only reason that dental care during pregnancy is so important. When you\u2019re expecting, you may develop large lumps on the inside of your mouth, typically on the gum line. These red lumps are called pregnancy tumors. Occurring in around 10% of pregnant women, they may bleed and can cause significant discomfort.<\/p>\n<p>However, don\u2019t let the name alarm you. Pregnancy tumors are not cancerous. They\u2019re the result of extreme inflammation, which is usually in response to an irritant like plaque. The best way to avoid them is keep your steady daily care routine to prevent bacteria from building up.<\/p>\n<h3>Tooth Decay<\/h3>\n<p>Morning sickness is an unfortunate reality for some expecting mothers. If your morning sickness leads to vomiting, rinse your mouth with water. The acid from your stomach is damaging to your teeth \u2013 any acids will wear away enamel, which leaves your teeth susceptible to decay.<\/p>\n<p>Snacking is another way that pregnancy can increase your risk for tooth decay. Increased appetites or a craving for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toledodentistry.com\/blog\/2017\/04\/26\/sugary-drinks-preventing-cavities\/\">sugary foods can increase the acid and bacteria in your mouth<\/a>. Pay attention to what you eat or drink and simply make sure to brush after your meals.<\/p>\n<h2>Is Dental Care During Pregnancy Safe?<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s not uncommon for women to cancel and postpone dental appointments during pregnancy. A few big myths have been perpetuated enough to discourage expecting mothers from visiting the dentist. If you\u2019re worried, find out the truth behind some of the biggest concerns:<\/p>\n<h3>Myth: You Can\u2019t Get X-Rays During Pregnancy<\/h3>\n<p>While there is a lot of controversy surrounding this myth, most medical experts agree that dental x-rays are not a significant risk. At Schmakel Smile Design, we only take x-rays during pregnancy if there is a toothache, abscess or injury. We do this to correctly diagnose and treat the problem so both Mom and baby remain healthy.\u00a0 We use proper lead shielding and uses digital technology at our office to minimize the amount of radiation used. In summary: unless an x-ray is necessary to diagnose dental pain, we will postpone the radiographs until after birth.<\/p>\n<h3>Myth: Local Anesthetics Can Cause Complications<\/h3>\n<p>This common myth is one reason that many pregnant women avoid dentist visits until after they give birth. However, current research shows <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ada.org\/en\/press-room\/news-releases\/2015-archive\/august\/new-study-shows-dental-treatment-during-pregnancy-is-safe\">there is no evidence that local anesthetics impact the health of the baby<\/a>. If you have a toothache, don\u2019t put it off!<\/p>\n<h3>Myth: Prescribed Medications Are Unsafe During Pregnancy<\/h3>\n<p>While this myth has a lot of truth to it, it\u2019s far from absolute. If your dentist can work with your physician to ensure that any medication related to your dental health is safe for you during pregnancy. This is one reason it\u2019s so critical to keep your medical providers up-to-date with your pregnancy: they can\u2019t take these extra steps unless they know you\u2019re expecting! And if you\u2019re ever in doubt, always ask your doctor.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.toledodentistry.com\/meet-our-team.php\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-285\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toledodentistry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/schmakel-smile-design-best-dental-team-e1509024587853.jpg\" alt=\"Choose the best dental team for your family!
