Gum Disease During Pregnancy Can Be Treated At Smiles By Landy
Many
mothers have experienced gum disease, dental pain and/or tooth
extraction during or shortly after their pregnancy. This is often seen
as being a "normal" side effect of being pregnant. However Dr. Landy
feels that dental disease, which is an infection of the teeth and/or
gums, is not "normal" for any patient.
There are three basic events that happen during pregnancy which make the
patient more susceptible to dental disease. First, hormonal changes may
make the gums more susceptible to gum disease.
Second, pregnant women tend to eat smaller, more frequent meals,
exposing their teeth and gums to sugars and acids more often. Third,
cravings for "junk foods" and inadequate oral hygiene pose an increased
threat to the teeth and gums.
Pregnant women in Bermuda are advised to schedule a dental evaluation
and receive preventive dental care at Smiles By Landy. Personalized oral
hygiene instruction by Dr. Landy will be given to fight disease and
promote overall good health for the mother and her baby.
Please call us at (441) 296-0990
to schedule a complete examination.
