Gum Disease During Pregnancy Can Be Treated At Palatine Complete Dental
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 we
feel 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 the Palatine area are advised to schedule a dental
evaluation and receive preventive dental care at Palatine Complete
Dental. Personalized oral hygiene instruction will be given to fight disease and promote overall good health for the mother and her baby.
Please call us at 847 359-7520 to schedule a complete examination.
