Baby Dental Care, Pregnancy-Related Tooth Pain
Having gum and tooth pain during pregnancy is not uncommon, however, discomfort is usually a symptom of a more serious underlying dental condition. According to the American Academy of Periodontology, roughly 50 percent of all pregnant women develop gingivitis, or an inflammation of the gums. Left untreated, gingivitis can lead to more severe periodontal disease, causing uncomfortable tooth pain and possible tooth loss. Therefore having proper dental care during pregnancy becomes very important in order to maintain your oral health care.
