Gum Disease During Pregnancy Can Be Treated At Robert M Christ DMD
Many mothers have experienced gum disease, dental pain and/or tooth extraction during or shortly after their pregnancy. This is often seen as being a "normal" side effect of being pregnant. However
Dr. Christ feels that dental disease, which is an infection of the teeth and/or gums, is not "normal" for any patient.There are three basic events that happen during pregnancy which make the patient more susceptible to dental disease. First, hormonal changes may make the gums more susceptible to gum disease.
Second, pregnant women tend to eat smaller, more frequent meals, exposing their teeth and gums to sugars and acids more often. Third, cravings for "junk foods" and inadequate oral hygiene pose an increased threat to the teeth and gums.
Pregnant women in the Tarpon Springs area are advised to schedule a dental evaluation and receive preventive dental care at Robert M Christ DMD. Personalized oral hygiene instruction by Dr. Christ will be given to fight disease and promote overall good health for the mother and her baby.
Please call us at 727 934-1200 to schedule a complete examination.

*Minimal
sedation, also known as anxiolysis, is the use of oral and
inhalation medications to relieve anxiety before and during dental
procedures
that minimally reduce consciousness in an effort to reduce fear and
anxiety, while still maintaining normal breathing and the ability to
respond appropriately to physical and verbal stimulation.
