1) Higher Risk of Tooth Decay.
Pregnancy hormones increase mouth acidity,
raising cavity risk. Brush twice daily and floss
regularly, especially after sugary intake.
2) Gum Inflammation.
Inflamed gums, often in the third trimester,
affect about 70 of pregnant women due to
increased inflammation from plaque and bacteria.
3) Loose Teeth.
Pregnancy's "relaxin" hormone relaxes cartilage,
including teeth, causing occasional tooth
looseness. While it can be alarming, it's
generally not serious.
