DURING PREGNANCY, A WOMAN'S BODY UNDERGOES SIGNIFICANT HORMONAL CHANGES.

When a woman discovers she is pregnant, she quickly schedules all the necessary medical appointments to closely monitor her and her baby’s health. However, many pregnant women forget or are not aware of the importance of prenatal dental care. During pregnancy, a woman’s body undergoes significant hormonal changes, leading to a series of important alterations related to the oral cavity.

These changes can increase the incidence of cavities and the development of
periodontal disease. It’s worth noting that pregnancy is not the direct cause of oral health problems, however, hormonal changes can exacerbate pre-existing conditions. Premature birth, preeclampsia, and the birth of low-weight babies have already been associated to some oral conditions.

AT VITALIS CLINIC, PRENATAL DENTAL CARE CONSISTS OF 2 PHASES:

phase 1

Involves the treatment of the expectant mother herself: periodontal treatment and infection removal. The spread of oral infections can affect the progress of pregnancy and the quality of life of the expectant mother.

phase 2

Guidance on the baby’s oral health.
