Dentistry during pregnancy is possible!

Anyone who plans a pregnancy in the near future, just need to visit the dentist. Even if it seems that you do not need treatment, the doctor must necessarily examine the oral cavity for caries or inflammation. The same goes for the periodontist. Gums of the pregnant woman should be in order. But what if the pregnancy, though desirable, but unexpected? In this case, you did not prepare in advance and could not visit the dentist. If at the same time there are some or other problems, then you will have dental treatment during pregnancy. Doctors-dentists, of course, are afraid to undertake to treat women in position. But this is not associated with risk, but with the unstable emotional state of expectant mothers and constant calls for vomiting, which complicates the treatment process. It is necessary for such purposes to pick up a very qualified specialist, whom you trust completely, and decide on dental treatment. After all, the desire to give birth to a healthy baby can force you to voluntarily go to such terrible procedures ... But not everything is so bad.

Modern medicine has reached an excellent level of development. Nowadays, it can be argued that the materials and methods, which are the least dangerous for the mother and fetus, are allowed to produce dental treatment during pregnancy. But a visit to the dentist should, if possible, be postponed until the gestation period is more than three months, and treat the teeth no later than before the eighth month. These terms are explained by the fact that at the beginning of pregnancy the fetus develops very actively, and for it any negative effects (both drugs and nervousness of the mother) are highly undesirable. After the second trimester, the belly already has an impressive size and there is a threat of premature birth. Therefore, the middle term of pregnancy is optimal.

To the great joy of pregnant women, you do not have to endure the pain. Excellent non-harmful anesthetics have been invented. They fit women in position, they do not act too hard, they do not harm the fetus. Even removing the teeth under anesthesia with such drugs will not cause fear and pain. Dentistry during pregnancy with the use of high-quality materials will make your teeth healthy for many years. The only thing that is not recommended for pregnant women is X-ray images. They can affect the undeveloped yet fruit, and not the best.

Pregnant women often develop gingivitis. Simply put, bleeding gums. This is not a good sign, so treatment during pregnancy is necessary. Bacteria present at this time in the mouth can cause even premature birth.

In order not to require dental treatment during pregnancy, it is necessary to independently carry out preventive measures. It is worth remembering that after vomiting do not immediately run to brush your teeth. It should be done in about thirty minutes, but first you should rinse your mouth with a solution of baking soda. Cleaning your teeth several times a day, rinse with hardening herbs, attention to the problems of teeth and gums during pregnancy will make you a beautiful smile and a healthy baby.
