Pregnancy is a very joyful and exciting event in a woman’s life.

Pregnancy is a very joyful and exciting event in a woman’s life. 🤰🏻 During this period, special attention should be paid to health, including dental care, as all of a woman’s resources are directed toward the development of a new organism. 👼🏻 When dental pain suddenly occurs, the question arises, “Should you go to the dentist during pregnancy?” 🤔

💡Today, in our #expertadvice section, Dr. Nargiza Bakhtiyarova Isaeva, a senior category doctor, will share recommendations and advice on dental treatment for expectant mothers.

‼️Painful teeth are a source of infection that can enter the body through the blood and negatively affect the baby’s development. Dental pain can also lead to digestive problems, which is highly undesirable.

🛡Ideally, any dental problems should be identified and resolved before planned pregnancy:

💊Caries – the destruction of tooth enamel due to the leaching of calcium, often of infectious origin;

💊Pulpitis – a complication of caries, accompanied by severe pain (it can affect neighboring tissues);

💊Gingivitis – redness and bleeding of the gums, which is very common during pregnancy;

⛔️During pregnancy, it is also strongly recommended to avoid:

❎Teeth whitening

since the use of chemical products can negatively affect fetal development.

❎Prosthetics and implant placement,

as these procedures are often associated with an increase in body temperature, which is highly undesirable.

❎Tooth extraction

can lead to complications, so it’s better to postpone the procedure to the postpartum period.

👍The most suitable period for dental treatment is the second trimester. It is advisable to treat teeth that require urgent intervention during this period to avoid discomfort in the future.

🔱During the first trimester, it is not advisable to visit the dentist because the placental barrier is forming. Treatment in the last three months can lead to premature birth due to the stress and adrenaline contained in anesthetics.

🙏Of course, it’s better to take care of your teeth before pregnancy to avoid dental problems during your pregnancy.
