Dental Treatments During Pregnancy.
Pregnancy is a time when many women may require dental treatment due to changes in oral health. It is important to take care of your teeth and gums during pregnancy as poor oral health has been linked to premature birth and low birth weight.
Is it Safe to Take Dental Treatments During Pregnancy?
Here are some things to consider when receiving dental treatment during pregnancy:
Inform your dentist that you are pregnant: Your dentist needs to be aware of your pregnancy so that they can adjust your treatment plan accordingly.
Dental extractions are usually performed only in the 2nd trimester. All other dental procedures at Lyla Dental Clinic are generally considered safe in all months of your pregnancy.
Best Way to Take of Your Oral Health!
Maintain good oral hygiene: Brush and floss regularly to maintain good oral hygiene during pregnancy. This can help prevent gum disease and other oral health problems that can be harmful to you and your baby.
Why Calcium Supplements are Important During Pregnancy?
Pregnant women need about 1,000 milligrams of calcium a day and women 18 and younger need 1,300 milligrams per day.
Regular Calcium supplements along with calcium rich food like milk, cheese, dates and spinach are greatly encouraged during pregnancy and breastfeeding. This helps in the normal development of the babies’ teeth and bones, and reduces the risk of osteoporosis as well as keeps your teeth healthy and strong.
Dental Care is Safe and Important During Pregnancy
In summary, dental treatment during pregnancy is generally safe, but it is important to inform your dentist that you are pregnant and take necessary precautions. It is also important to maintain good oral hygiene to prevent any potential oral health problems.
