Informing your dentist about your pregnancy is crucial for ensuring your and your baby's health and well-being during dental appointments.
During pregnancy, hormonal changes can affect your oral health, making you more susceptible to gum disease and cavities. Your dentist needs to be aware of these changes to tailor treatments and prescribe safe medications if necessary. Additionally, certain dental procedures, such as X-rays, may need to be modified or postponed to minimize potential risks to the developing fetus.
