Pregnancy and Gum Disease
One and a half months pregnant with gum disease
I just found out that I am pregnant with my first baby. That is a good thing and my husband and I are excited. The problem is that I have gingivitis/gum disease. Which that too I just was told about by my dentist two week ago. Prior to me knowing about the baby.
So the thing is the dentist said my gums are in bad shape that first to start off I need a deep cleaning. He would treat my gums with antibiotics after the deep cleaning session which I will need three treatments.
Now that I know I am pregnant can I still have my dental work done or wait until after the baby is born. I can just brush and floss really good until the baby is born right? A friend of mine in the past was pregnant and needed two filling, because she was seven months pregnant they told her she should wait. Advise is welcome
