Health Tip: Pregnancy Affects Dental Health
By LadyLively on September 16, 2015
Pregnancy can cause numerous emotional and physical changes, even in your mouth.
The American Dental Association mentions these changes that can occur during pregnancy:
- Inflammation of the gums known as gingivitis. This can cause bleeding of the gums while you brush or floss.
- An increased risk of cavities from eating more carbohydrates, or from morning sickness that can wear away tooth enamel.
- Formation of noncancerous, swollen areas between the teeth, commonly called pregnancy tumors.
