During pregnancy, some women may encounter dental issues such as periodontal disease (gum disease) and tooth decay. Hormonal changes can increase the acidity in the mouth which can cause cavities; this may be due to an increase in sugar intake because of cravings. Ligaments and bones in the mouth may temporarily loosen during pregnancy resulting in teeth moving temporarily. Seeing your local dentist during this period will be helpful to prevent advanced oral issues. An increase in sugar intake during pregnancy can be harmful to your baby and oral health, so make sure to minimize your sugar cravings, and brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing will be helpful.
