Professional teeth cleaning during pregnancy

During pregnancy, the hormone balance changes fundamentally, which affects the entire body - including the oral cavity. These changes can promote existing inflammation of the gums and periodontium, without causing it themselves.

As a result, bacterial deposits from tartar or plaque can trigger symptoms more quickly during this time, often noticeable through increased bleeding gums. We therefore recommend professional teeth cleaning for expectant mothers, ideally before the last trimester of pregnancy.
