AnswerBank Answer:
What can I do to protect my oral health during pregnancy?
Taking care of your oral health during pregnancy isn't very different from the normal routine. It is important to brush at least twice a day, floss and eat healthy well-balanced meals. Maintaining regular visits to the dentist for checkups allows your dentist to observe and treat any issues that may occur. Generally after the first trimester, cleanings and restorative work (fillings) are postponed until after the baby arrives. Anyone who is pregnant and is experiencing pain or trauma due to an accident should absolutely seek the care of their dentists, regardless of the stage of their pregnancy.
