Two oral problems for pregnant women

　　pregnancy gingivitis

　　After pregnancy, the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the blood increase, causing the gums to become congested, swollen, brittle, and soft. The gingival papilla between the teeth becomes purple-red and will bleed at the slightest touch. This is medically known as "pregnancy gingivitis."

　　Countermeasures: Because the sensitivity of oral tissues increases, pregnant mothers can choose health care toothbrushes with small brush heads and soft bristles when brushing their teeth. Do not brush too hard.

　　caries

　　The diet structure changes during pregnancy, and the amount of carbohydrates eaten increases, which provides good nutrients for bacteria to multiply on the tooth surface, and the acid produced by bacterial metabolism causes the tooth surface to be corroded and form dental caries. In addition, pregnant mothers will have vomiting reactions in the early stages of pregnancy, and the refluxed gastric acid will also corrode the tooth surface.

　　Countermeasures: Pregnant mothers should pay attention to oral hygiene, because oral infection will affect fetus and one's own healthy , causing various harms. Brush your teeth at least three times a day for at least 3 minutes each time. However, effective brushing can only remove 70% of the bacteria in the mouth, and flossing must be done every two days. Pregnant mothers should also undergo regular oral examinations. 》》》 Pregnant woman appears7Be careful with these symptoms
