Are x-rays and other dental procedures safe during pregnancy?
What common dental problems occur during pregnancy and how can they be prevented?
One of the most frequent dental problems in pregnant women is gingivitis (inflammation of the gums), which affects 50%-70% of all pregnant women. Pregnancy causes hormonal changes that can impact dental health. In particular, increased levels of progesterone may make it easier for certain gingivitis-causing bacteria to grow as well as make gum tissue more sensitive to plaque.

Pregnant women may be more prone to dental problems, but these can all be prevented if they follow proper dental care and treatment. As long as a pregnant woman pursues good oral hygiene, she won’t acquire any dental disease. In the end, all that matters is how a person takes care of his/her teeth.
