765-348-4111 Taking care of your smile includes minimizing effects associated with oral hygiene risks that can arise due to changes in your lifestyle. Several aspects of your day-to-day life can drastically increase your risk for several oral health ailments including gum disease and tooth decay. For example, if you find yourself pregnant, you’ll need to visit your dentist so appropriate treatments and oral health care plans can be initiated.
A better smile often begins with receiving the necessary oral health care treatments to lower any risks in your oral health care that may hinder your smile. The more you do to keep your smile safe, the less likely you are to suffer from dental damage associated with a pregnancy due to poor oral hygiene risks. As always, make sure you are brushing and flossing every single day. An effective oral hygiene routine during a pregnancy is important because if you neglect your health, you can be an increased risk for preeclampsia, gestational diabetes and premature delivery. Continue to clean your mouth and for additional help, visit your dentist.
Let your dentist know of any prenatal vitamins or medications you may be taking if you are pregnant. Also, let them know you are pregnant so that you can receive the necessary care to keep your smile safe, yourself safe and your baby safe. With effective treatment plans in place, you can make sure that all aspects will run smoothly, and you will receive the necessary oral health care you need without overwhelming yourself with all the tasks you are bombarded with while pregnant.
