Problems with the oral cavity you now need to eliminate as soon as possible. But do not panic! All will pass. Something with the help of a qualified dentist, something due to compliance with a certain diet and hygiene rules, and something in itself. After the birth of the child.
Oh, gingivitis, gingivitis ...
In the first months of expectation of the baby, pregnant moms often have inflammation of healthy teeth and gums during pregnancy - gingivitis. Desna dries up, swells, bleeds. The reason for this hormonal changes (fluctuations in the level of estrogen and progesterone), which undergoes the body of a pregnant woman. Be especially careful if you have a sensitive gum. It reacts instantly to various kinds of irritants, for example, acidic and sweet foods, stresses. It happens, in the oral cavity there is a neoplasm - granuloma.
This is the name of a small nodule on the gum that starts to bleed when brushing your teeth. Usually this formation disappears without a trace shortly after the birth of the crumbs. If the granuloma pushes you seriously (prevents brushing your teeth), be sure to turn to a good doctor. You do not need additional risk right now. To stop bleeding or calm the pain, apply infusion of medicinal plants permitted for pregnant women.
Prepare a decoction of 10 grams of chamomile or a tea bag of tea with these wonder flowers.
Insist for 15 minutes, then strain and cool. Take this drink three times a day, and also rinse them with the mouth (at least one minute). Brush your teeth twice a day, moving from the gum to the edge of the dentition. Daily use floss - silk thread. It is better to loosen the dental spaces from the plaque in the evening, before cleaning. And although the waxed thread does not have the same effect as the unviolent, doctors advise starting with the first. It is easier to insert between the teeth, which means that this will not cause pain and will not damage the gum.
Herpes - no!
The fever on the lips caused by the herpes virus is explained by the weakening of immunity for healthy teeth and gums during pregnancy. In this case it is necessary to appear to the expert. He certainly will not only give advice on how to get rid of rashes, but also correct your vitamin complex and diet. After all, you need to strengthen the protective functions of the body. However, not everything is so terrible: while waiting for a child, the drop in immunity is quite natural, so it is possible that herpes will not affect the course of pregnancy. In any case, this issue must be discussed with the doctor. With a cold on the lips, phytotherapists are advised to apply a fresh lemon leaf to the inflamed area. Nutritionists suggest that there are more products containing vitamin C. Every day in your diet there should be five any fruits and vegetables from this list: citrus fruits, black currants, apples, dried apricots, Brussels sprouts, parsley ... Vegetables (especially leafy ones, for example, salad and spinach), fruits, whole grains, nuts, fish, lean meat, by-products will supply the body with the nutrients necessary to combat the virus infection. Pay attention: in your menu must be present foods rich in calcium (during pregnancy, the need for it increases threefold). Otherwise your teeth may suffer. These include dairy products, cheese, cottage cheese. However, most of all calcium, according to scientists, is found in sesame unrefined oil. One teaspoon per day completely covers the daily need of a future mother in this substance. By the way, the absorption of calcium improves the trace mineral magnesium - without it anywhere. So lean on nuts and sea kale.
According to statistics, 3% of intrauterine infections develop due to caries in expectant mothers. This can be avoided very simply: to visit the dentist not only for treatment, but also for the purpose of prevention.
We care about cleanliness
It turns out that the purity, whiteness and health of your teeth largely depend not on the paste, but on how thoroughly and correctly you clean them. Remember that immediately after coffee, tea and juice, teeth should not be cleaned - so great is the risk of damaging the enamel. After taking these drinks, at least an hour must pass before brushing your teeth. This concerns the evening hygienic procedure. Well, in the morning, teeth should be cleaned immediately after sleep. Each cleaning should last at least a minute, but not more than three. Proper circular movements, in different directions, thoroughly clean out the entire plaque. The composition of modern pastes for healthy teeth and gums during pregnancy is of no fundamental importance, since they are all produced according to the last word of medicine. However, studies show that pasta with fluorides (fluoride compounds) is more effective than others to protect teeth from annoying caries. But the gum bleeding does not heal the paste. I need a competent doctor! Pasta can, perhaps, to some extent prevent the occurrence of gingivitis and periodontitis. As for dental elixirs, it is not really proven that their use can prevent or significantly reduce the formation of plaque, tartar and even more the appearance of periodontitis. By breath they are refreshing. The ideal of the same toothbrush is: with rarely located tufts of bristles, with a concave in the middle of the surface, medium hardness. To change a toothbrush should be not less often, than time in three months. At the end of this period, even the best quality brush breaks down and can no longer cope with its direct tasks.
To the doctor!
There are no ideal dates for a visit to the dentist about caries. It is necessary to seal each hole! Modern preparations for dental anesthesia are safe for the fetus in any trimester. But non-treated tooth decay is dangerous, because it can provoke an infection. So visit the doctor at the first necessity.
