Usually a woman becomes a little kind of lazy in her pregnancy and since she keeps feeling hungry at one time or the other ,it becomes difficult for her to maintain her oral hygiene so the cavities develop and pregnancy gingivitis is another common oral problem in most of the pregnant ladies.

Dear Lybrate user, pregnant women experience a lot of hormonal changes and the reason for dental health problems during pregnancy is also the same. Gum inflammation is the commonest problem. The second trimester (6-9 months) is the safest period for almost all dental procedures and it is advisable for all expecting mothers to be under regular dental supervision as well. Mother is the source of nutrition and immunity for the developing baby as well as any harmful diseases I the mother also have the risk of passing on to the baby. All bacteria from the oral cavity of a woman with poor oral hygiene are transferred to the baby and increase the chances of dental decay, low birth weight in infants too. I have an article about the same on Lybrate. You may refer that for further details.

Hello Lybrate user, during pregnancy, level of certain hormones in women's body increases. These hormonal changes makes our gums more susceptible to infection. Just a regular mouthwash and luke warm saline rinse will reduce these infection.
