Preventive measures in pregnancy
Pregnancy includes a series of changes in the pregnant woman’s body. Due to the change in hormone ratios in the body, there are changes also in the oral cavity. Gums become sensitive and bleed easily. In more severe cases, pus pockets are formed and the entire mucous membrane is inflamed. Frequent vomiting increases acidity, which causes damage to teeth surface. To reduce the caries hazard, it is necessary to brush the teeth regularly, avoid sugar and sticky sweet food in particular. Before the pregnancy, it is necessary to fix all teeth and a dental checkup is recommended after the sixth month of pregnancy. During pregnancy, it is recommended to take Fluonatril pills, so that the child’s milk and permanent teeth are of better quality. (with a recommendation from the stomatologist).
Your baby’s teeth begin to form even before the baby is born. The first teeth begin teething between 4 and 6 months after the baby is born, while the others teethe over the next three years.
Sucking is a baby’s natural reflex that helps development of joints and muscles in the mouth. Thumb sucking is a child’s habit that can last until the child is six years old.
