• 0:37
  Speaker 1: cleanings altogether out of caution. As a dedicated family dentist

  Speaker 1: health of both you and your developing baby. Let us
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: walk you through everything you need to know about navigating
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: oral care during these exciting nine months. The surprising link
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: between pregnancy hormones and your gums. Many women notice distinct
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: changes in their mouths during pregnancy. You might find that
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: your gums are suddenly tender, swollen, or prone to bleeding
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: during your daily brushing and flossing routine. This is not
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: a coincidence. It is a direct result of hormonal shifts
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: during pregnancy. Your body experience is a massive surge inestrogen
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: and progesterone. These hormones naturally increase blood flow to all
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: of your mucous membranes, including your gum tissues. This increased
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: circulation makes your gums significantly more sensitive to the bacteria
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: found in every day black This condition is widely known
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: as pregnancy gingivitis. If left unmanaged by a professional dentist
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: in Chippewa, falls with this mild inflammation can occasionally progress
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: into a more serious form of gum disease called periodontitis.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Research indicates that chronic, untreated gum disease in expectant mothers
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: can increase the risk of systemic complications, including pre term
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: birth and low birth weight. This is exactly why proactive
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: dental care is a corner's tone of a healthy pregnancy.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Mourning sickness and its impact on tooth enamel. Mourning sickness
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: is a challenging reality for many expectant mothers, particularly during
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the first trimester. While it is tough on your energy levels,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: it can also take a severe toll on your smile.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Stomach acid is highly corrosive. When mourning sickness brings this
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: acid into contact with your teeth, it can temporarily soften
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: and erode the hard protective layer of enamel. If you
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: immediately brush your teethrite after an episode of sickness, you
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: might accidentally scrub away some of this softened enamel. To
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: protect your teeth during periods of mourning sickness, we recommend
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: a simple alternative routine. One dot trins thoroughly with water
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: immediate action. As soon as you are done, rinse your
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: mouth completely with plain water to wash away the bulk
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: of the loose stomach acid. Two dot use a baking
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: soda rinse neutralization. Mix a teaspoon of baking soda into
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: a small glass of water and rinse. Baking soda is alkaline,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: meaning it will instantly neutralize the remaining acids on your teeth.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Three dot weight before brushing waiting period. Wait at least
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: thirty minutes before using a toothbrush. This gives your saliva
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: enough time to naturally minerals back into your enamel. Hardening
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: it up again. Four dot brush with fluoride toothpaste. Brushing
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: once the weighting period is over, brush gently using a
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: soft bristled toothbrush and a fluoridated toothpaste to strengthen your smile.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Navigating dental treatments safely across trimesters a common concern we
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: address at our Chippewa Falls Dental office is whether routine
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: treatments or emergency procedures are safe for an unborn baby.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: The consensus among both dental and medical professionals is clear
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: routine preventive care is safe and encourage at any stage
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: of pregnancy. However, the timing of elective or restorative treatments
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: can vary based on your comfort and development. The first trimester.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: This is a critical period of development for your baby's organs.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: While routine cleanings are safe, we generally prefer to postpone
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: elective dental work, such as cosmetic bonding or teeth widening,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: until after delivery. The second trimester. This is widely considered
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the ideal window for any necessary dental restorations like fillings
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: or dental crowns. By this stage, mourning sickness has usually
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: subsided for many women and the baby is not yet
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: large enough to make cling back in the dental chair
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: uncomfortable the third trimester. While treatments remain safe, sitting or
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: lying flat on your back for extended periods can become
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: physically uncomfortable during the final months. If you require urgent

  Speaker 1: or signs of an infection, do not wait until after
• 5:10

• 5:14
  Speaker 1: a far greater risk to your overall wellness than a
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: straightforward dental treatment. Simply look up a trusted dentist near
