Online Dental Insurance, Having Good Oral Health Is Essential During Pregnancy.
While women often hear about how pregnancy causes physical changes that affect their hormone or appetite levels, these changes can have a great effect on their oral health. Despite the fact that good oral health is essential for the overall health of both mother and child, only 22 to 34 percent of women in the United States visit a dentist during pregnancy.
According to an article published in the May/June 2010 issue of General Dentistry, dental care during pregnancy is not only safe and effective, it’s essential for combating the adverse effects of oral disease. Dentists have the ability to maintain the oral health of expectant mothers by treating the dental findings that are common during pregnancy.
