Pregnancy gingivitis is common during pregnancy as one of every two pregnant women suffers from it. Advanced teeth problems known as periodontal disease, can cause severe damage to your teeth and gums. Periodontal disease cannot be taken lightly because it can also damage the health of your baby. We highly recommend visiting your dentist for an extra check-up while pregnant to make sure you are free of cavities or potential infection that may cause significant problems to your and your baby’s health.
