Expectant mothers with healthy mouths have healthier babies, and need special consideration with regard to their oral health.
Oral changes may include gingival growth, gingivitis and granulomas on the gums due to pregnancy related hormonal changes. Salivary changes may cause an increase in cavities of the dentition.
We educate the expectant mother the management of these conditions and stress the need for meticulous home care during this most important time of a woman’s life.
