Pregnancy can affect gum health. Here is how to protect your smile safely during this season.
Hormonal changes during pregnancy can make gums more sensitive, swollen, or likely to bleed. This is why dental hygiene and professional care remain important.
Routine dental checkups and cleanings are generally safe during pregnancy. Always tell your dentist that you are pregnant and share any medical guidance from your doctor.
Brush twice daily, clean between teeth, stay hydrated, and seek care if you notice pain, swelling, or bleeding that does not improve.
