What to do with tooth pain during pregnancy? What should women pay attention to in oral health care during pregnancy and pregnancy?

What should women pay attention to in oral health care during pregnancy and pregnancy? Many women consciously do internal medicine and gynecological examinations when planning pregnancy, but ignore the examination of oral health. As everyone knows, oral conditions are closely related to pregnancy. Why do dentists advise you to do a comprehensive oral examination during pregnancy to get rid of all dental problems? Pregnancy can increase the number of oral diseases in women. The older generation often said that “a child is born, a tooth is broken” is the truth.​​
In the early stage of pregnancy (1-3 months), the hormone levels in the body change, and the body tissues are affected to a certain extent, and the gums are no exception. The changes in the gum tissue make pregnant women prone to periodontal disease. If a pregnant woman suffers from periodontitis before pregnancy, the condition may worsen, which not only affects the health of the pregnant woman, but also affects the development of the fetus. To be on the safe side, it is better to solve all the dental problems that can be dealt with as soon as possible.​​
Early pregnancy is a critical period for embryonic development and during this stage pregnant women should avoid any form of dental check-up. In the third trimester (the last 3 months of pregnancy), due to external stimuli, it is easy to cause contractions of the pregnant woman’s uterus, and it is also necessary to avoid all dental examinations. Therefore, invasive operations such as tooth extraction cannot be performed in the first three months and the second three months of pregnancy. The risk of miscarriage and premature birth will be very high, and doctors are unwilling to take this risk to extract teeth for you.​​
If dental caries, pericoronitis, etc. are found in the early or late pregnancy, doctors will tend to carry out conservative treatment, do some emergency treatment such as flushing to relieve pain, and then rely on the willpower of pregnant women to endure this period of time.​​
If dental disease occurs after pregnancy, try to choose treatment when the body is relatively stable in the second trimester, and more complicated dental operations should be postponed until postpartum as much as possible.​​
Many dental problems during pregnancy will become more difficult, and it is also a kind of torture for pregnant women, so dentists will recommend friends who are preparing for pregnancy to conduct a comprehensive oral examination. If oral diseases are found, they can be treated early, and all dental problems can be solved before pregnancy. Control the foreseeable hidden dangers as much as possible.​​
Oral problems during pregnancy should not be underestimated, don’t think it’s just alarmist. Only when all the dental problems are dealt with when preparing for pregnancy can you survive the pregnancy and breastfeeding safely and stably.
