Pregnancy causes hormonal changes in your body that can lead to more plaque buildup on your teeth. This can lead to an increased risk of tooth decay, gingivitis, and periodontitis as a result. You may also notice your gums bleed more easily when you’re pregnant. This can be due to hormonal changes or from brushing too hard. Remember that your dental health during pregnancy is important too. It can affect your baby’s health, so practicing good oral hygiene is important. Brushing and flossing every day will help keep your mouth healthy for you and your baby. Talk to your dentist about dental care during pregnancy.
