For pregnant women, it’s crucial to maintain good oral hygiene to avoid dental issues like gum

disease. Here are some recommendations:

• Brushing: Brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.

• Flossing: Floss daily to remove plaque and food particles between teeth.

• Regular dental visits: Schedule regular dental check-ups and cleanings, informing your dentist about your pregnancy

• Diet: Maintain a balanced diet and limit sugary snacks and beverages

• Morning sickness: Rinse your mouth with water or fluoride mouthwash after vomiting to reduce acid erosion on teeth.

• Dental treatments: Avoid unnecessary dental treatments during the first trimester and elective treatments during the second half of pregnancy, if possible.

• Communicate: Inform your dentist about any changes in your health or medication during pregnancy.

Remember, good oral health is important for both you and your baby’s overall well-being
