Pregnant women are considered to be an endangered group from dental point of view as there are significant changes in their metabolism and hormone system.
It is important to screen pregnant women from dental point of view and to keep proper dental hygiene in order to avoid tooth and gum problems.
Hormone system of pregnant women is changing significantly; these changes are affecting the mouth and teeth, as well. Gum becomes swollen due to the pregnancy hormones, more fur as well as bacteria is generated. Bacteria, resulting inflamed gum, are causing further illnesses.
On our clinic, during a dental hygiene treatment our dentist removes scaling from the teeth as well as smoothens the root surfaces and gives professional advices. Beyond these he checks the patients on a monthly basis.
It is important to know that most of the dental treatments and operations can be carried out during pregnancy - except the first and last 3 months and the X -ray.
