Dental Health
Healthy teeth and gums help your overall health and well-being. See your dentist before you start trying to become pregnant to talk about your dental care needs. Dental care is important before, during, and after pregnancy.
Why is oral health important before I start trying to become pregnant?
Good oral health is an important part of a healthy pregnancy.
If possible, make a dental appointment before you plan to get pregnant. At this appointment your teeth can be professionally cleaned, gum tissue can be examined, and any oral health problems can be treated in advance of your pregnancy.
If you have questions about your oral health, talk with your dentist or dental hygienist.
