Prevention Over the past few years, dental culture in Russia has undergone some changes, and I, as a young mother and dentist are very pleased to observe how women take care of her smile, not only as an aesthetic element, but now realize that the trip to the dentist -- is the path to healthy smile. Hello and that future moms regard visits to the dentist is not as "obyazalovku" for the hospital, and understand that this is an important component of the health of their future child. Not so long ago few people understood the importance of dental health to such a serious step in life of women as pregnancy. There was an interim time when the future mom visited the dentist, because they were confident that "pregnancy will select a good half of the teeth." This though is not quite correct belief, but already half the battle! The fact that visiting the dentist, you care not only about his health, but also the health of your child. You must agree, no expectant mother would not want to take any painkillers during pregnancy. And, God forbid, remind yourself of the tooth, which you have long advised to remove ... And all this happens not through the law of meanness, but because of hormonal changes that will accompany your entire pregnancy. All defects and problems that you do not have time to get rid of pregnancy, will make themselves known at the time of her. Not necessarily, that this problem all women face, but the fact that oral health would have to devote more time and attention - no doubt! And if you take care of it beforehand, then the probability that one of the most beautiful period of life you spend in a good mood, and not in finding the duty of dentistry, is greatly improved! Everyone knows that the best treatment - is prevention. Upon learning that soon you will become a mother, and even if you never had any problems with teeth, the next few months, you just need to go and see a dental clinic. Regular visits to the doctor can help you maintain beautiful healthy teeth and gums, and after birth. In addition, excellent oral hygiene - a pledge the health of your baby! However, naively believing that the doctor will solve all your problems. In this case, the doctor - the assistant, and your state depends only on yourself. Cleaning your teeth after each meal, rinsing, thorough cleaning of interdental spaces at home - is a mandatory component of self-care throughout the pregnancy. Particular attention is paid to this in the first trimester of pregnancy. Dental treatment Every woman is always, above all, will worry about the health of her child. Being pregnant, she tries to comply with all recommendations of the doctor, well-fed, a lot of walking and resting. In short, expect the birth of the healthy, beautiful, happy, beloved and dear man. And remarkably, if the pregnancy is not a surprise, as planned stage of your life. Visiting antenatal clinic, the therapist and having passed all the tests, be sure to schedule an appointment with the doctor - dentist! Every woman knows that the health of the child is formed even before his birth during the whole period of pregnancy, and the teeth are no exception. It is therefore naive to hope that the baby teeth will be better than his mother. Perhaps you need help with such narrow specialists as a dental hygienist or a periodontist, to learn about this need can only be in the dental clinic. At the consultation the doctor will be able to determine what must be done prior to pregnancy and individually advise how to take care of the oral cavity during pregnancy. We should not ignore such advice, because it is very important to eliminate all potential foci of inflammation.
