Oral health care of pregnant women

summary

Dentists often encounter such situations: some pregnant women come to ask if it is scientific when they hear that they can't brush their teeth in confinement; other young mothers think that dental caries is caused by giving birth. Is this reasonable? Let's take a look at the following.

Oral health care of pregnant women

First: Generally speaking, every woman has to go through the three processes of marriage, pregnancy and childbirth; especially after pregnancy, the system of the whole body has to undergo significant physiological changes, the burden is also increased, and the daily intake of nutrition should not only supply themselves, but also supply the fetus. In addition to sugar, fat and protein, many trace elements are needed, among which calcium is essential. It is not only to promote fetal skeletal development, but also the main component of the formation of teeth. When the mother's calcium is absorbed by the fetus, and they do not replenish it in time, it is easy to cause systemic bone decalcification and osteoporosis. At the same time, it can also show that the teeth are loose and the dentin is easy to decalcify. Moreover, due to the physiological needs of pregnant and lactating women, they also eat more sugar and starch foods. If they don't pay attention to oral hygiene, food residues are easy to adhere to the tooth surface, which increases the number of bacteria in the mouth. Moreover, carbohydrates in food residues can ferment to produce acids, leading to tooth decalcification and formation of dental caries.

Second: some pregnant women, due to the imbalance of female hormone secretion after pregnancy, make the gingival microvascular become dilated and curved, and make the blood stasis, sensitive to mechanical stimulation, liquid or cells are also easy to penetrate into the perivascular tissue, aggravating the response to local stimulation, thus causing gingival bleeding, edema, serious cases, can cause anemia. Therefore, it is very important to do a good job of oral health care during pregnancy, childbirth and lactation, including brushing teeth in the morning and evening, brushing teeth correctly, gargling after meals, removing dental plaque in time, removing dental calculus as soon as possible, and eating more calcium containing food. In addition, in the first three months of pregnancy and after three months of tooth extraction, easy to cause premature birth, some drugs can not be used, the treatment of some dental diseases will be limited. This not only seriously affects the diet and health of pregnant women, but also is not conducive to the normal development of the fetus.

Third: in addition, in the first three months of pregnancy and after three months of tooth extraction, easy to cause premature birth, some drugs can not be used, the treatment of some dental diseases will be limited. This not only seriously affects the diet and health of pregnant women, but also is not conducive to the normal development of the fetus.

matters needing attention

Be sure to check and cure the diseased teeth before pregnancy. If the impacted teeth need to be extracted, they must be removed as soon as possible to avoid future problems. For patients with gingival bleeding during pregnancy, laser treatment can be used.
