Did you know that pregnant women are automatically at a
higher risk of developing gingivitis? This earliest stage of gum disease can
develop because the hormonal fluctuations associated with pregnancy increase
the inflammatory response to plaque. But fortunately, gum disease certainly
isn’t inevitable. If you’re pregnant or planning to be, you can contact your
dentist for a comprehensive check-up.
As you’ll learn when you watch this video, Dr. Mahajan can
offer the positive support you need to keep your mouth healthy while your body
is growing your little one. If you are absolutely sure that you aren’t yet
pregnant, she may advise you to get X-rays now to check for any potential
problems. During pregnancy, you should avoid all X-rays.
