While you’re pregnant, make sure you pay attention to your teeth and gums.

The American Dental Association offers these mouth-healthy suggestions for pregnant women:

• Brush twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste. Floss daily, as well.
• Snack only in moderation, and make sure to eat a balanced diet.
• Visit a dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings.
• Talk to your dentist about a night-time antimicrobial mouth rinse if you have trouble controlling plaque.
