Maintaining oral health during pregnancy is crucial as hormonal changes can increase the risk of developing gum disease, affecting the health of your developing baby.

Here are some tips:

1. Regular Dental Check-ups: Regular dental check-ups and cleanings during pregnancy are safe and essential for combatting the effects of increased hormones that may enhance the risk of periodontal disease and morning sickness that may lead to tooth erosion.
2. Brushing and Flossing: Continue brushing your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily to remove plaque.
3. Manage Morning Sickness: If morning sickness keeps you from brushing your teeth, change to a bland-tasting toothpaste. If you vomit, rinse your mouth with a teaspoon of baking soda mixed with water to stop acid from attacking your teeth.
4. Avoid Sugary Snacks: Try to limit sugary snacks. Increased sugar consumption can lead to tooth decay.
5. Tell Your Dentist about Changes: Your dentist needs to know about any changes in your oral health or any issues you’re experiencing, like bleeding gums, sensitivity, or bad breath.

Remember, good oral hygiene and a healthy diet during your pregnancy will help ensure the health of your baby and your own oral health.

Dental X-rays are considered very safe. The amount of radiation exposure from a full mouth series of X-rays is equal to the amount a person receives from natural sources daily. This makes dental X-rays a safe option for all individuals.

Dental X-rays are a safe and effective way to diagnose and treat dental issues.

Our practice is pleased to accept hospital dental vouchers supporting access to oral health care for those in need.

As part of the Oral Health Fee For Service Scheme (OHFFSS), we welcome dental patients with these vouchers, helping to make dental care more accessible and affordable.

We strive to make treatment costs affordable for our patients so that everyone can have a healthy smile.
