Pregnancy & teeth
Due to the hormonal changes, the entire organism changes during pregnancy. This also affects the oral cavity: the gums and the oral mucous membranes are supplied with more blood and the tissue becomes looser. The composition of saliva also changes. Dental care can be made difficult by hypersensitivity to smells, tastes and even the feeling of the toothbrush in your mouth. During this time, special attention should be paid to dental care so that you and your child stay healthy.

The more sensitive gums and oral flora during pregnancy offer less resistance to bacteria: They can settle more easily and cause tooth and gum disease. Bacteria that cause tooth decay can also be passed on to your child through saliva. Now it is important to have your teeth examined by the dentist more often so that pathological changes can be recognized and treated directly.

The mother's diet can have a significant impact on the child's development. The development of the baby's milk teeth begins around the 8th week of pregnancy: Calcium, iron and phosphate-containing foods are very important for this. Dietary supplements can also be useful here. Of course, growth-damaging poisons such as cigarettes, alcohol and various drugs should be avoided.
