Dental hygiene appointments for the pregnant womanRegular dental check-ups are recommended during pregnancy to avoid the appearance or worsening of pregnancy gingivitis, tooth decay or any other condition related to a weaker immune system. It is recommended to undergo dental scaling and prophylaxis. In late pregnancy, the position of the woman on the chair will be adapted to avoid the compression of a vein that could cause dizziness or loss of consciousness. Taking small breaks or folding legs on the left side can increase the comfort of the patient. |

X-rays and pregnancyX-rays are not recommended during pregnancy. In emergency cases, X-rays can be taken with appropriate shielding (lead apron and thyroid collar), but should be avoided whenever possible. Emergency treatments can usually be undertaken by the dentist without X-rays. The most dangerous period for the fetus remains the first trimester of pregnancy. |
