Pregnancy and Oral Health by Sheila Wolf

Fifty to seventy-five percent of pregnant women develop an acute infection in their mouths known as pregnancy gingivitis. If left untreated, this infection can lead to bone destruction and eventual tooth loss. It has also been linked to heart attack, strokes, respiratory problems, diabetes, ulcers, oral cancers and other serious systemic illnesses. Not only is that a problem for the mother, but according to the Surgeon General of the United States and the results of research studies throughout the world, this bacterial infection is a threat to her unborn baby as well. Periodontal disease, exacerbated by the excessive production of hormones in preparation for motherhood, can impair the baby she carries and may cause it to be born prematurely.
