Were you aware that the first trimester of pregnancy is when babies are most susceptible? This has led lots of women to prevent oral cleanings during their first trimester, but in reality, dental work does no harm to children during this stage of their development; there have been no studies showing so. In fact, skipping out on the dentist may actually harm the development of your child.

You may find yourself eating extra sugary foods during pregnancy, and this has the side effect of building plaque on the chompers, which can grow to tartar and gum disease if left untreated. Periodontal disease has actually been shown to lead to premature delivery of children. Our mission is to keep all of our patients healthy, and that includes you and your child. If you’re pregnant, please give us a call so that we can adjust your treatment plan accordingly and help you to maintain a healthy oral cavity for your health and the welfare of your child. Please give us a call if you have any more queries about dental work that should be completed during pregnancy.
