Pregnancy is an exciting time but are you aware of the implications it may have on your oral health? Here are some reasons why pregnant women should take extra care with their dentition:
The hormone progesterone can be raised up to 10 times higher than the normal level in the body during pregnancy, affecting its response to toxins and making it more susceptible to developing periodontal disease, also known as pregnancy gingivitis.
Some pregnant women also develop a growth on their gums known as a pregnancy granuloma: red nodules, usually found on the upper gums. While they are not dangerous, they can cause discomfort.
Other oral health problems may include dry mouth and tooth erosion as a result of constant exposure to acid from severe morning sickness.
If you’re pregnant we recommend that you come to the practice for a thorough check up so that we can help you maintain great oral health for the duration of your pregnancy and beyond.
Are you aware of the negative effects smoking has on your oral health? It can lead to serious medical conditions and even chronic diseases such as lung cancer. However, there’s another side effect of smoking that doesn’t get as much attention, and that’s the toll it takes on your mouth, gums and teeth. Smoking can lead to tooth staining; gum disease; tooth loss; and in more severe cases, mouth cancer.
Patients who smoke should have regular check-ups with a dentist who will be able to advise about all dental issues and detect any signs of developing disease. You may require orthodontic treatment or be advised to see the dental hygienist for preventative advice about diet, toothbrushing and treatment of gum problems.
Do you require a sports mouth guard? Our guards are custom-made rubber coverings worn over your teeth to protect them from damage in contact and ball-based sports. Once inserted they carefully cushion the teeth and gums and help avoid damage such as chipped or broken teeth.
We provide children's dental mouth guards but these will need regular replacement to allow for growth.
Adults will also require a regular review of their dental mouth guards due to wear and tear.
