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!
Did you know that if you need an artificial joint replacement you are required to see your dentist for dental clearance prior to your surgery date? You must be clear from any dental infection before your joint is placed, because bacteria from the mouth can travel through the bloodstream, migrate to the joint, and cause damage to it. If you have any questions, feel free to comment them below or contact our office at (856) 881-5080!
