🤰 Pregnancy & Oral Health: Protecting Two Smiles! 🦷💙
Did you know? Pregnancy can increase the risk of gum disease, cavities, and even affect your baby’s health! Hormonal changes make gums more sensitive, leading to pregnancy gingivitis, bleeding gums, and higher cavity risk. If left untreated, gum infections may contribute to preterm birth and low birth weight.
👶 Why Perinatal Oral Care Matters:
✔️ Healthy gums lower the risk of pregnancy complications
✔️ Reduces bacteria transmission to the baby, preventing early childhood cavities
✔️ Helps maintain strong teeth, preventing painful dental issues during pregnancy
🚨 Oral Health Tips for Moms-to-Be:
🪥 Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste & floss regularly
🥗 Eat a balanced diet & limit sugary cravings
💧 Stay hydrated to prevent dry mouth & acid buildup
