Changing the usual diet, changes in the hormonal background and the immune system, the typical manifestation of toxicosis and a change in the oral care regimen can play an important role in changing the state of the oral cavity. Pregnant women eat more often, which causes a decrease in the pH level during the day and contributes to the formation of plaque, the development of caries and non-carious lesions of the teeth. To prevent caries, oral hygiene products must contain fluoride - they effectively protect against caries and strengthen enamel.
Given the increased formation of plaque and changes in its composition against the background of hormonal changes, it is very important for a pregnant woman to maintain proper oral hygiene using the necessary hygiene products. Elevated levels of progesterone, which is often observed during pregnancy, affects the development of inflammatory reactions, therefore, gum disease can be traced to more than half of pregnant women. This can manifest itself in mild inflammation as well as in serious illness.
The lack of motivation to brush teeth due to constant nausea and the common misconception that tooth loss during pregnancy is still not avoided, leads to the fact that diseases of the oral cavity develop faster.
In addition, the above changes in the body and lifestyle of a woman can cause increased sensitivity of teeth.
During pregnancy, you must regularly visit the dentist to diagnose the condition of the oral cavity. The dentist will examine you in time to diagnose caries, dentin hypersensitivity or gum disease.
The first trimester and the second half of the third trimester are the most undesirable time for dental treatment. The second trimester, or weeks 13 through 24, is considered a more favorable time during pregnancy for treatment at the dentist.
