\"It\u2019s<\/a>Congratulations! You\u2019re having a baby! This time in your life can be exciting and overwhelming all at once. It\u2019s important to take good care of yourself during your pregnancy and regularly visit all of your healthcare practitioners. Believe it or not, it\u2019s especially important to visit your dentist in Weatherford throughout your pregnancy. Here are the reasons why.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Periodontal Disease and Pregnancy<\/h3>\n

Because of the many hormone changes that take place throughout pregnancy<\/a>, you are more susceptible to periodontal disease, or gum disease during this time. This may not seem like too big a deal, however periodontal disease can lead to tooth, tissue, and bone loss if it\u2019s not properly managed. A condition known as pregnancy gingivitis can occur, and this is actually the first stage of gum disease.<\/p>\n

If you notice that your gums are red and swollen, or bleed when you brush your dentist may recommend extra cleaning appointments during your pregnancy to help you control the gingivitis. Excellent home care, with daily brushing and flossing is also crucial during this time. If you suffer from morning sickness and vomiting, your dentist can recommend a mouth rinse to help protect your teeth from harmful stomach acids.<\/p>\n

Nutrition and Pregnancy<\/h3>\n

As you know, your nutrition is very important to you and your baby during pregnancy, did you know however, that your nutrition could affect your baby\u2019s developing teeth? It\u2019s true! Your baby\u2019s teeth will begin to develop around the third to sixth month of your pregnancy and you need lots of vitamin A, C, and D as well as protein and calcium to help your child\u2019s teeth develop properly. You will need to begin oral care for your child as well as soon as their first teeth erupt.<\/p>\n

Communicate With Your Dentist<\/h3>\n

Let your dentist know that you\u2019re pregnant and exactly what trimester you\u2019re in. your dentist may want to wait on taking x-rays or performing dental treatment until you\u2019re further along in your pregnancy.<\/p>\n

If you experience dental pain or an emergency contact your dentist right away. There are a lot of things that can be done for dental pain during your pregnancy even if you don\u2019t have treatment done immediately.
