Dental Health Care During Pregnancy

You’re pregnant! Congratulations!

Over the next few months, you’ll experience a lot of changes, and you’ll need to make some adjustments to your diet and healthcare regimen to ensure your little one is developing in the best ways possible.

You might not realize it, but your dental health during pregnancy is just as important as all the other health-related measures you’re adhering to during gestation.

Dre Nathalie Kadoch is a Lachine dentist who’s worked with many women as they enjoy various stages of pregnancy. The following are a few tips she offers to her expectant mothers:

1. Watch for Red, Inflamed Gums

When you’re pregnant, you have high levels of progesterone surging through your body. Excessive progesterone can cause your gums to become sensitive, irritated, swollen, or bloody when you brush. Without proper treatment, inflamed gums can ultimately turn into periodontal disease.

Periodontitis is not only harmful to you; it can be harmful to your baby, as well. If you’re experiencing these problems in the Lachine area, schedule an appointment with our dental facility right away.

2.  See Your Dentist As Soon As You Know You’re Pregnant

Your dentist is just as important as your OBGYN and pediatrician. While your physicians tend to your baby, your dentist tends to your oral health needs and helps your body adjust to the changes that’ll take place in the coming months.

For example, you might form pregnancy tumors in your mouth. These lumps aren’t cancerous; they’re caused by having too much plaque on your teeth, which can make your swollen gums bleed.

You might also experience tooth decay if acid build-up is breaking down your enamel. Morning sickness is a typical cause of acid for pregnant women. Your dentist in Lachine can prescribe medications that can soften the harshness of stomach acid if you’re experiencing extreme discomfort.

3. Make Sure Your Dentist Knows You’re Expecting

When you’re pregnant, you shouldn’t be subjected to the x-ray radiation. There are also certain surgeries that are best left until the baby is born. Your doctor should be aware that you’ve got a belly-for-two so he or she can prescribe accordingly.

Are you looking for a Lachine dentist who’ll take care of your oral health while you’re pregnant? Dre Nathalie Kadoch and her team are just a phone call away! Let us do our part to ensure you have a healthy and happy pregnancy–from an oral-health perspective!
