  2. Importance of oral health during pregnancy : Maintaining good oral health during pregnancy is crucial for both maternal and fetal well-being. Gum disease has been linked to adverse pregnancy outcomes, including preterm birth and low birth weight. Treating gum disease can help reduce the risk of these complications.
  3. Timing of treatment : Depending on the severity of the gum disease and the stage of pregnancy, treatment may be recommended during pregnancy or deferred until after delivery. Non-emergency treatments are often postponed until the second trimester or after childbirth to minimize potential risks to the developing baby.
  4. Safe treatment options : During pregnancy, certain dental procedures may need to be modified or avoided to ensure the safety of the mother and the baby. However, many gum disease treatments, such as professional cleanings and scaling and root planing, are considered safe during pregnancy when performed by a qualified dental professional.

Your dentist will carefully consider the risks and benefits of any medications or anaesthesia used during treatment.
  6. Home care and prevention : In addition to professional treatment, maintaining good oral hygiene habits at home is essential for managing gum disease during pregnancy. Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and using an antimicrobial mouthwash can help control plaque buildup and reduce gum inflammation.
  7. Nutritional considerations : Eating a balanced diet rich in vitamins and nutrients, particularly calcium, vitamin C, and vitamin D, can support gum health during pregnancy. Avoiding sugary snacks and beverages can also help prevent tooth decay and gum disease.

Overall, addressing gum disease during pregnancy is important for both oral health and overall pregnancy outcomes. By working closely with your healthcare providers and practicing good oral hygiene, you can help ensure a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
