Pregnancy is a magical yet delicate period for a woman’s body — and the mouth is no exception. Hormonal changes can directly affect the gums and oral tissues, increasing the risk of inflammation, bleeding, and infections.

👉 Dental care during pregnancy is not a luxury — it is a necessity.

Why Is Oral Care So Important During Pregnancy?

• Gums may become more sensitive and swollen (pregnancy gingivitis)

• Oral infections can spread throughout the body

• The mother’s health directly impacts the baby’s health

Are Dental Treatments Safe During Pregnancy?

🦷 The good news: Dental treatments — including local anesthesia in urgent cases — are safe during pregnancy when performed by qualified professionals.

At Ledismile, we follow strict medical protocols to ensure maximum safety for both mother and baby.

Ideal Oral Hygiene Routine for Expecting Mothers

✔️ Brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
