<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Common Dental Conditions During Pregnancy</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>It is vital for pregnant women to pay heightened attention to all aspects of their health, including dental health. <a title="Read more about pregnancy and teeth" href="https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/HealthyLiving/pregnancy-and-teeth" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Dental-Health-During-Pregnancy">For some women</a>, pregnancy increases the production of plaque. This sudden increase may lead to gum disease and heighten the risk of tooth decay, among other dental problems. Such issues typically occur due to hormone changes, though other causes may include cravings for sugary foods, gum problems, retching while brushing teeth, and vomiting.</p>
<p>Pregnant women frequently experience cavities, gingivitis, loose teeth, periodontal disease, pregnancy tumors, and tooth erosion. Gingivitis is particularly common, affecting 60 to 75% of expectant mothers. Symptoms involve bleeding gums, redness and swelling, shiny gums, and tenderness in the gums. If left untreated, it can progress into a more severe form of gum disease known as periodontitis.</p>

<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Why Total Health Dentistry During Pregnancy</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Expectant mothers should keep a close eye on their dental health, as <a title="Read more about pregnancy increases the risk of complications" href="https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/HealthyLiving/pregnancy-and-teeth" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Dental-Health-During-Pregnancy">pregnancy increases the risk of complications</a> with the gums or teeth. If these complications lead to periodontitis, there will be a higher chance of the baby being born prematurely or at a low birth weight. Periodontitis is also associated with various systemic health problems, which could further endanger both the mother and the unborn child.</p>
<p>Conversely, pregnant women with preexisting conditions may be more susceptible to dental issues. This can lead to a never-ending cycle of health problems, making it extra crucial for expectant mothers to see a total health dentist. While most traditional dentists treat isolated conditions, complete health dentists treat the patient’s health in its entirety. In other words, they account for any risk factors that may affect a person’s ideal treatment plan.</p>

Additionally, morning sickness may wear away at the tooth enamel, while hormonal changes may lead to pregnancy gingivitis. Unfortunately, however, a pregnant woman’s oral health can directly affect her unborn baby’s health.</p>
<p>Excess bacteria growth in the mouth can enter the bloodstream through the gums and make its way to the uterus, which may induce premature labor. Furthermore, once the baby arrives, the mother may potentially pass on the bacteria to the newborn through vertical transmission. As such, it is critical that pregnant women brush at least twice a day with a fluoridated toothpaste, floss nightly, and eat a well-balanced diet. Keeping regular appointments with the dentist is also crucial.</p>

This makes it a natural breeding ground for bacteria. Though most of such bacteria are harmless, they may quickly multiply to dangerously high levels if the patient does not practice proper oral hygiene. It should come as no surprise that oral health goes hand in hand with various systemic health conditions — particularly heart health and sleep.</p>
<p>Snoring and other sleep disturbances are often indicative of sleep apnea, which may be caused by oral health issues. Additionally, research also suggests that dental bacteria cause inflammation and infections that may lead to clogged arteries, heart disease, and stroke. Our team can perform a comprehensive review of a patient’s medical history, current condition, and any other pertinent information to get them to a healthy mouth baseline.</p>
