Oral Health

Good oral health is important if you’re planning to conceive or if you are pregnant. Poor oral health can lead to complications such as miscarriage and preterm labour.

Hormone changes in pregnancy can make you more susceptible to dental and gum disease. It’s important to brush twice daily with fluoridated toothpaste, floss once daily and continue with regular dental appointments.
