Tips For Oral Care During Pregnancy [video]

stephenlega • February 22, 2017

To wrap up Gum Disease Awareness Month, we have a special message for women who are pregnant or plan to be pregnant in the near future.

This is a special time in your life, but there is something you need to know for your sake and the sake of your baby. During pregnancy, your body produces hormones that help your baby develop. These same hormones also increase your risk of developing gum disease .

If you live in or near Columbia, SC, our dentist office will be happy to support you during this time. This video by the American Dental Association includes some good tips to follow during your pregnancy.

And if you have any questions or you would like to make an appointment, call Total Dental Care of South Carolina at 803-272-4162 or contact us online.
