Many mothers have experienced gum disease, dental pain and/or tooth extraction during or shortly after their pregnancy. This is often seen as being a "normal" side effect of being pregnant. However, dental disease, which is an infection of the teeth and/or gums, is not "normal" for any patient.

There are three basic events that happen during pregnancy which make the patient more susceptible to dental disease. First, hormonal changes may make the gums more susceptible to gum disease.

Second, pregnant women tend to eat smaller, more frequent meals, exposing their teeth and gums to sugars and acids more often. Third, cravings for "junk foods" and inadequate oral hygiene pose an increased threat to the teeth and gums.

Pregnant women should be advised to schedule a dental evaluation and receive preventive dental care. Personalized oral hygiene instruction should also be given to fight disease and promote overall good health for the mother and her baby.

When my daughter broke her tooth while eating a hard  candy, she was so afraid to go to a dentist to have it fixed. She has a very low pain tolerance and feared needles. With your sedation dentistry treatment, she was not only able to get the care she required, but she now no longer fears going to a dentist! Way to go you guys!

► Periodontal Therapy - Periodontal infection is caused by bacteria that are always present in our mouths. Some of us are more susceptible to this infection than others, depending on how well our body (our immune system) fights infection. Our ability to fight this infection can vary from day to day, week to week depending on what else is going on with our life and health.
