Oral Health Problems During Pregnancy
Pregnant women are at high risk with dental problems. The latest survey of the Australian Dental Association (ADA) shows that 53 per cent of expectant mums are compromising their oral health by not visiting their dentist during pregnancy.
The data also shows that 38 per cent of pregnant women are suffering from a number of dental and oral health problems such as bleeding gums, inflammation, gum and tooth sensitivity. Moreover, three quarters of pregnant women are unaware that morning sickness can result in permanent tooth damage.
Dental visits are crucial for your health and that of your developing baby. A trip to the dentist can help prevent various problems. In addition, it’s safe to visit the dentist while pregnant, despite the myth that suggests otherwise. Dental professionals are trained to assess your condition before performing any procedure to ensure it’s perfectly safe for you.
