Pregnancy & Oral Health: What Every Expectant Mother Should Know

Dental health is a critical component of prenatal care. Pregnancy gingivitis affects nearly 40% of mothers due to increased progesterone levels making gums more reactive to plaque.

Is Dental Treatment Safe?

Yes. The second trimester is the ideal time for routine cleanings and emergency work. X-rays are safe with proper lead shielding, though we minimize them unless clinically necessary.
