Steps to Follow for a Healthy Mouth during Your Pregnancy

During the prenatal stages of pregnancy, there are some important steps to follow to get a healthy mouth. These steps include:

  • Have dental checkup- Get teeth cleaned and checked. Be sure to get any needed dental work done.
  • Brush twice a day- brush at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Use a soft brush. Be sure to put the bristles of the toothbrush where the teeth and gums meet. This is where gum disease starts.
  • Floss daily- Floss to clean between the teeth where a toothbrush can’t reach.
  • Limit the number of times you eat sweet or starchy snacks each day- These types of snacks can cause “acid attacks” on your teeth. Drink fewer sugary drinks and eat fewer sweets. Soda and sweets may cause cavities. Eat more fruits and vegetables.
  • Seek prenatal care- Follow the advice of your health care professional. This is important for your health and health of your baby.
  • Get adequate calcium- You need calcium for your baby’s teeth and bones. Calcium can be found in milk, cheese, dried beans and leafy greens.
