Thread: Brush and Floss= healthy gums
Started 3 months, 2 weeks ago by rdh4rnr
Healthy gums= healthier baby!!  Since I am a dental hygienist I just wanted to remind everyone that taking care of your teeth is REALLY important while pregnant.  This is from the ADA: Does pregnancy affect my gums? During pregnancy, your body’s hormone levels rise considerably. Gingivitis, especially common during the second to eighth months of pregnancy, may cause red, ...

yes very true! thanks for the post!  I am also a hygienist :) also ladies if you find yourself having morning sickness...lucky you...dont brush your teeth immediatley after vomiiting. you will be brushing around acid and actually do damage to your tooth enamel.

missmichelle007, my advice to you is just to make sure that you are going for routine cleanings and that there are no active gum or tooth infections that can affect the baby. get things taken care of in your mouth as soon as you can. but the infection part is important during pregnancy.  the more you do on your end with brushing and flossing the better off you (and baby) are going to be!
