That\u2019s right, being pregnant could affect your oral health. So much so that your dentist in Wayland will consider you a high-risk patient during your pregnancy. Learn more about how to care for your smile properly while conceiving and why it\u2019s so important to meet with your dentist regularly.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Pregnancy Can Affect Gum Health<\/h2>\n<p>The hormonal changes affect every part of a woman\u2019s body\u2014even their mouth. The hormonal roller coaster that\u2019s caused by pregnancy can change the way your gums react to normal plaque in your mouth, causing your gums to become swollen, red, and sensitive.<\/p>\n<p>Research has also shown that pregnancy can increase the amount of bacteria present in your mouth. It\u2019s critical to maintain a great dental care hygiene routine of brushing and flossing every day while pregnant. If you notice these symptoms at any stage of your pregnancy, you should seek treatment for potential gum disease:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Swollen, sensitive gums<\/li>\n<li>Tender, red gums<\/li>\n<li>Extremely loose teeth<\/li>\n<li>Receding gums<\/li>\n<li>Pockets of infection along your gum line<\/li>\n<li>Bleeding when brushing or flossing<\/li>\n<li>Buildup of pus between gums<\/li>\n<li>Chronic bad breath<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Oral Health and Morning Sickness<\/h2>\n<p>Everyone knows that every pregnancy experience is different. Some woman experience more difficult symptoms than others, like intense headaches or even morning sickness.<\/p>\n<p>If you suffer from morning sickness, brushing your teeth can seem like a nearly impossible task. The smell of toothpaste may make you feel sick and your gag reflex may increase. Even with those factors affecting you, it\u2019s still important to keep your oral health up to par.<\/p>\n<p>If you can, try to get a more mild-smelling toothpaste that may allow you to brush your teeth without upsetting your stomach. At the very least, brush using water and baking soda. Avoiding brushing altogether will just deteriorate your teeth and gums faster than needed.<\/p>\n<p>Another threat that comes with morning sickness is the acid that attacks your teeth. When vomiting, acid from your digestive system ends up in your mouth and on your teeth. If not removed, it can erode the protective layer of your teeth and quickly escalate to tooth decay. Whenever you have a morning sickness episode, rinse your mouth out with water right away. This will remove and neutralize the majority of the acid, then brush your teeth just about 30 minutes later to optimize your oral health.<\/p>\n<h2>Caring for Your Teeth While Carrying a Baby<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re planning on being pregnant, it\u2019s best to visit your dentist for helpful advice.
