So pregnant mothers should pay more attention to oral health during pregnancy.
1, establish good eating habits.
Pregnant mothers are affected by hormone levels, which makes their endocrine change, and it is easy to cause vomiting during pregnancy in the early stage. In addition, the eating habits of pregnant mothers have changed, and they prefer sour and sweet foods. Some pregnant mothers will especially like to eat a kind of food after pregnancy, such as sweet, sour, spicy and soft. It is recommended to rinse your mouth in time after each meal to reduce the residue of food residue between your teeth.
Throughout pregnancy, pregnant mothers will increase their demand for calcium and vitamins. Lack of calcium can lead to loose teeth, and lack of vitamin B and vitamin C can lead to gingival bleeding. Therefore, it is recommended that pregnant mothers eat more foods rich in minerals, vitamins and other nutrients. At the same time, eating more dietary fiber is also beneficial to protect teeth. Cellulose can promote saliva secretion, clean tooth surface and massage gums.
2. Strengthen oral hygiene.
Born lazy during pregnancy, you will ignore the daily cleaning of your mouth.
It is recommended that pregnant mothers brush their teeth carefully every morning and evening and rinse their mouths in time after meals. If pregnant mothers have dental caries, it is recommended to use fluoride toothpaste.
Rinse your mouth regularly with 2% baking soda water or mild mouthwash.
Regular oral examination in early pregnancy is not recommended to treat oral diseases. At this time, the fetus is unstable and prone to miscarriage. The best time to treat teeth during the whole pregnancy is the second trimester. If you miss this stage, you must wait for the baby to treat it later.
If you have a toothache, don't take medicine without authorization. For the health of pregnant mothers and fetuses, drugs must be given under the guidance of professional doctors and in strict accordance with doctors' prescriptions.
3. It is recommended to use a toothbrush suitable for pregnancy.
Many pregnant mothers have feelings during pregnancy and accidentally bleed when brushing their teeth. It is suggested that pregnant mothers choose a toothbrush with small brush head, soft bristles and round bristles at the top, or directly use a children's toothbrush, which is conducive to reducing irritation and protecting teeth and gums.
