Turner-Wood Dental News
The Turner-Wood Dental Family came through once again. Thanks to all of our amazing patients for their generous donations to help make this possible. With your help, we were able to be a blessing to the Samaritan Center in Glassboro!
Pregnancy brings so many changes, but did you know it can also affect your gums? Hormonal shifts can cause gum inflammation, known as pregnancy gingivitis; leading to red, swollen, or bleeding gums. When left untreated, this can progress to more serious gum disease, which studies have linked to pregnancy complications like low birth weight and premature delivery. The good news? Regular dental cleanings are not only safe during pregnancy -- they're highly recommended. Cleanings help manage plaque, reduce inflammation, and protect both your oral and overall health. The second trimester is the ideal time for care, but it's never too early to check in. Let us know if you're expecting and we'll make sure you're comfortable every step of the way!
Our very own Dental Receptionist / Assistant Monica Albert was able to go visit the GCDC Raskel Program to teach students about proper dental hygiene routines & oral care!
