Thanks to professional oral cleaning, serious oral problems and infections can be avoided.<\/p>\n But, returning to the topic at hand… Is it recommended to do a dental cleaning during pregnancy? Keep reading!<\/p>\n Now that you know more in depth what professional oral cleaning is and what it consists of, the time has come to answer whether or not it is advisable to do dental cleaning during pregnancy.<\/p>\n Professional prophylaxis can be<\/strong> carried out when a woman is pregnant and, furthermore, it is advisable to prevent or avoid pathologies such as gingivitis <\/strong>(the initial phase of gum disease).<\/p>\n How to take care of oral health during pregnancy<\/p>\n Another aspect of interest that we want to reveal to you is how to take optimal care of oral health during pregnancy.<\/strong> For this reason, we offer the following advice:<\/p>\n Following the exposed guidelines, you will be able to enjoy a healthy smile during the most beautiful and happiest stage of your life: pregnancy.<\/p>\n At Gross Dentistas<\/strong><\/a> we are aware that there are many doubts about when to go to the dentist during the pregnancy period.<\/p>\n On the one hand, if a woman intends to have a baby, one of the first things she should do is make an appointment<\/strong> to have a check-up with her dentist and perform dental hygiene <\/strong>with her hygienist. In this way, conditions such as cavities, infections, gingivitis, among others<\/strong>, will be avoided, since they will be previously diagnosed and treated by the specialist.<\/p>\n On the other hand, if the woman is already pregnant, the best period to go to the dental clinic is during the second trimester,<\/strong> that is, from the third month.<\/strong> This is so, because at this stage, as a general rule, the formation of the main organs of the fetus ends.<\/p>\n However, it is important for a pregnant woman to inform <\/strong>her dental specialist about possible oral changes<\/strong> she experiences during this period at all times.<\/p>\n In our dental clinic, as many of you already know, we carry out all kinds of oral treatments: orthodontics<\/a>, aesthetic veneers, dental implants<\/a>, among others.<\/strong><\/p>\nDental cleaning during pregnancy<\/h2>\n
