Different approaches to
Pregnancy Dental Care
Dental care during pregnancy can be approached differently depending on the presence of any dental problems.
Urgent & Emergency Treatment
In cases where dental problems occur during pregnancy, it can be important not to delay treatment as your child may be affected. Your dentist will help you to properly assess your condition, and advise if treatment is required urgently or if it can be delayed until after giving birth.
Routine & Preventative Care
It is important to maintain your regular dental checkups during pregnancy to ensure the health of your teeth and gums, as well as being made aware of any potential problems that could be caused by pregnancy. If any problems which could affect the health of your teeth, gums or child are found, your dentist can help you to manage and resolve any issues.
Education
You should advise your dentist about your pregnancy so that any advice you receive is best suited to ensure you and your child’s health. Your dentist will discuss with you potential events during pregnancy (such as morning sickness, pregnancy gingivitis and increased gag reflex) which can affect the health of your teeth. We can help by discussing potential changes to your dental care which can minimise any damage to your dental health that sometimes occur during pregnancy.
