Routine dental care is generally an important part of maintaining health during pregnancy.
If you are pregnant, tell your dentist how far along you are and inform the dental team about medications, medical conditions, or recommendations from your prenatal healthcare provider.
Preventive dental examinations and cleanings can help manage oral changes that sometimes occur during pregnancy, including increased gum inflammation.
Necessary dental problems should not automatically be postponed. Untreated pain or infection can create its own concerns, so your dentist can help determine the appropriate timing and approach to care.
Elective procedures may sometimes be planned differently depending on the stage of pregnancy and individual circumstances.
If dental X-rays or medications are being considered, your dental team can discuss why they are recommended and the precautions used.
