Good oral health care is vital during your pregnancy .Continue your regular dental cleaning and check ups to avoid oral infections that can affect the fetus such as gingivitis and periodontal disease.
Dentists suggest that the major dental treatment that are not urgent may be postponed until the birth of your child. The first trimester ,the stage of pregnancy in which most of the organ of the child is built is the most crucial to your baby development ,so it is best to have procedures performed during the second trimester to minimize any potential risks.
Dental work is not recommended during the third trimester because the dental chair tends to be much uncomfortable for the mother .If you lie back ,the chair may cut off circulation by placing pressure on the vein that returns blood to the heart from the lower part of the body.
