There will be a greater ease of bleeding in the gums and there is a greater probability of tooth decay due to the smaller number of meals that is usual and the greater salivary acidity due to vomiting, which can also cause the teeth not to be brushed.<\/span><\/p>\n Therefore, we recommend that patients have an oral hygiene consultation every 3 months.<\/strong> In addition to making sure that there is no bacterial plaque or tartar, it is possible to diagnose small anomalies in the patient’s oral health which, if not treated, could bring future complications to the child’s health.<\/span><\/p>\n Oral Hygiene consultations at this stage of the patient’s life will additionally serve to inform about all the care that must be taken with oral hygiene, nutrition and oral habits during this phase and the care that must be taken when the child is born.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Schedule your Appointment” style=”classic” shape=”square” color=”black”

phase of mutation, all care must be doubled.<\/strong><\/p>\n The presence of active cavities can cause certain inappropriate bacteria to pass to the baby, making it more likely to have similar complications at a younger age.<\/strong> Advanced periodontal diseases increase the risk of having a premature birth and low birth weight fetuses by 8 times.<\/span><\/p>\n To avoid further complications, in addition to those that the body goes through naturally during pregnancy, we recommend that pregnant women avoid excessive intake of salty and sweet foods, which have a greater tendency to cause cavities, brush the teeth more times a day and combine it with the use of dental floss and elixir and that as soon as they feel something wrong with their oral health, they consult their Dentist.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1611669558347{padding-top: 32px !important;padding-bottom: 0px

must be cleaned with the appropriate material and a dentist appointment must be scheduled for the first visit to the pediatric dentist.<\/strong><\/p>\n Both in this appointment and in appointments
