One of the easiest changes you can make to look after your oral health, and overall health, is your diet.

Cutting down on how often and how much sugar you consume can dramatically reduce your risk of tooth decay and is also beneficial to many other areas of your health. 😋🥙

Switching to fresh fruit and vegetables is a great way to look after your oral health and also look after you and your baby!

If you do have signs of gum disease, either periodontitis or gingivitis, you should know that it can be treated perfectly safely during pregnancy.

This treatment involves a dental health professional performing a deep clean under the gums to remove any bacteria, the only risks associated with this is slight soreness of the gums which you would face even if you were not pregnant!

Always tell your dentist if you are pregnant, especially if there is a chance that you will need an x-ray. Your dentist will usually wait until you've had the baby. 👨‍⚕️

X-rays during pregnancy do not carry risks to your unborn baby, such as miscarriage or birth defects but repeated exposure to radiation can potentially damage the body's cells in the long run, increasing risk of developing cancer.

X-rays are very low doses of radiation which is why during pregnancy the mother has to carry a minimal risk of exposing the unborn baby to radiation.

It is generally safe for you to use common painkillers such as paracetamol and antibiotics when you are pregnant. 💊

You should always speak to your doctor before taking any new medication while pregnant to make sure it is safe to use.

It’s vitally important to stay on top of your oral health when you are pregnant to avoid any potential problems! ⚠️

A mom's oral health is connected to the health of her unborn baby–and it can all be traced to the bacteria in her mouth.👄

When a pregnant woman has excessive bacteria growth in her mouth, it can enter the bloodstream through her gums and travel to the uterus—triggering the production of chemicals called prostaglandins—that are suspected to induce premature labour.🤰🏼

After the baby arrives, the mom can potentially pass her bacteria on to her newborn (called vertical transmission). 🦷

So, a mom who has lots of acid-loving bacteria in her mouth will pass higher numbers of those bacteria to her newborn.🤱🏼

Independence starts within yourself first.

We heard all the gossip there is, but not everything we’re told is true!

Stay tuned for upcoming information about you and your baby’s health during pregnancy, and what oral health has to do with it! 🦷

Are you prepared for the arrival of your baby’s first tooth?

Your child’s first primary or baby teeth will begin to erupt between the ages of six and 12 months, and will continue to erupt until about age three.

During this time, your child’s gums may feel tender and sore. To help alleviate this discomfort, we recommend that you soothe the gums by rubbing a clean finger or a cool, wet cloth across them.

You may also choose to make use of a teething ring. When your child has finished teething, you can expect a total of 20 primary teeth.

X-rays help your dentist see how your child’s teeth are developing and make sure the tooth roots are healthy. They also are used to see if there is any tooth decay between your child’s teeth.
“The decay process can move very, very fast, so the earlier we can catch it, the better.”

This is a must❗️
no matter how well your child brushes. “Even if your child brushes twice a day, it’s not possible to get rid of all the bacteria that can lead to cavities “And on the other hand, you may have a child who goes off to camp and never opens their toothbrush.”

That’s why a professional cleaning goes a long way. “It removes more of the cavity-causing bacteria and helps to keep gum tissue healthy,”
