Common diseases of teeth in pregnant women

In connection with the restructors of the body, a pregnant woman may face various pathologies of the oral cavity that are able to negatively influence the child. The most common belongs:

1. Caries - in the initial stages can be asymptomatic, but over time leads to the destruction of solid tissues and even the loss of teeth. If the disease is ignored, it can entail fetal infection, so the treatment of caries of teeth during pregnancy is mandatory for any woman;
2. Increased bleeding gums - arises due to hormonal changes in the body. Most often with the problem face in the first trimester, when the level of estrogen increases sharply;
3. Gingivitis - appears due to edema of mucous membranes, which leads to an increase in the intersubolic papillas and the accumulation of bacterial latal. As a result, inflammatory processes with painful sensations, bleeding, unpleasant smell of mouth begin to develop in the region of the gums;

Many women are afraid to treat their teeth, so as not to harm the baby. However, it should be understood that the diseases of the oral cavity are directly related to the development of the fetus, therefore they can harm more than dental manipulations.

Treatment of teeth in trimesters

Each trimester has its own characteristics that need to be considered when choosing a method and tactics of treatment:

Emergency interventions are carried out under periodontitis or exacerbation of the pulpitis, which flow in combination with acute pain and geek. If a woman is simply bleeding the gum during pregnancy, the therapy is better to postpone therapy;
2. II Trimester - the risks of the influence of the treatment on a child from 14 to 25 weeks are significantly lower, but the doctor must take into account the toxic effect of medicines. At this time, you can perform professional oral cavity hygiene and treat teeth whose state can be worse in late terms. If there are no risks, treatment is postponed for the period after birth;
3. III Trimester is the most difficult for a woman, as it is alarming and concern before the upcoming birth of the baby.

In other cases, it is better to wait until the birth of a child.
