Pregnancy & Dental Health
Hormonal surges during pregnancy increase vascularity in gums, leading to 'pregnancy gingivitis'. Maintaining healthy gums during pregnancy reduces risks of preterm birth and low birth weight.
Baby's Teeth Develop in the Womb
Baby teeth begin forming around the sixth week of pregnancy! A balanced diet rich in calcium, phosphorus, and vitamins A, C, and D lays strong foundations for your baby's future enamel.
