Dental and gum diseases increase the probability of low birth weight baby by seven times. For this reason, pregnant women should pay more attention to oral care and nutrition.
During pregnancy, the amount of acid in the saliva increases and the teeth become susceptible to decay. If the mother does not take care for her oral hygiene after vomiting, which can be seen in the first few months, the risk of decay also increases. If mothers with gum problems do not pay attention to their oral care, gum problems will increase due to hormonal changes. Expectant mothers may avoid to brush their teeth if they have gum bleeding. This causes more bacteria accumulation on the teeth and causes swelling, redness and bleeding in the gums. This is called "pregnancy gingivitis". The gums are red, swollen, sensitive and bleeding. Pregnancy gingivitis usually starts at 2 months of pregnancy and reaches the highest level at 8 months.
