Dental Care During Pregnancy
गर्भावस्थेत दातांची काळजी
गर्भावस्थेत दातांची तपासणी आणि आवश्यक उपचार सुरक्षित आहेत. गरज असल्यास तुमच्या स्त्रीरोगतज्ज्ञांशी बोलून, आणि शक्यतो दुसऱ्या तिमाहीत नियोजित उपचार करतो.
Dental check-ups and needed treatment are safe during pregnancy. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Dental Association both say that delaying needed care can be harmful. Hormone changes make gums more likely to swell and bleed, and vomiting can affect the teeth.

What happens and how many visits

- Check-up and cleaning at any stage.
- Planned, non-urgent treatment is preferably done in the second trimester (about weeks 14–27), when most women are most comfortable.
