During pregnancy, women undergo the greatest hormonal and physiological changes of their lives, some of which can affect their mouths.
These changes may include:
An increase in cariogenic and periodontopathogenic bacteria from changes in diet, in dental hygiene and in salivary composition
Changes in gingival tissue from increased vascular permeability
Increased sex hormones: estrogen and progesterone

Pregnancy or gestational gingivitis
Is defined as gingival inflammation initiated by oral biofilm and exacerbated by the increase in endogenous sex hormone levels
If left untreated, it can progress to become periodontitis

Existing studies suggest that periodontal disease in pregnant women is an added risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes such as5,6,7:
Preterm delivery (labour before 37 weeks)
Low birth weight (<2500 g)
Pre-eclampsia/eclampsia (pregnancy-induced hypertension, elevated levels of protein in urine)

Important:
Prevention of periodontal disease before and during pregnancy
- If you are pregnant or if you plan to become pregnant , consult your dentist for an oral health diagnosis
- Schedule a dental check-up for each trimester during pregnancy to keep your oral health in check
RECOMMENDATIONS

Physical control of oral biofilm in the dental office:
- Professional tartar removal: removal of supragingival plaque and calculus
- Scaling and root planing: removal of subgingival plaque and calculus
RECOMMENDATIONS

Physical control of oral biofilm at home:
- Manual or electric brushing : 2-3 times per day, at least, 2 minutes
- Interdental hygiene: interproximal brushes and dental floss/tape
- Oral irrigation
RECOMMENDATIONS

Chemical control of oral biofilm:
- Prevention of Periodontal Disease: Daily use antiseptic with Cetylpyridinium chloride
- Treatment of Periodontal Disease : Antiseptic that combines Chlorhexidine and Cetylpyridinium chloride
RECOMMENDATIONS

CONCLUSIONS
During pregnancy the probability of developing periodontal disease increases
Periodontal disease may have an impact on pregnancy and foetus
It is vital to prevent this disease to avoid pregnancy complications
Regular dental check-ups before and during pregnancy are basicfor controlling oral health and to have time to react if necessary
