Taking the best care possible of your body and smile during your pregnancy can help you have a healthy baby! Here’s how you can keep your smile healthy during your pregnancy.

Be Aware of Your Risk for Gum Disease

If you’re expecting a child, hormone changes in your body mean you’re at higher risk for gum disease. Fluctuating hormones can cause gum tissue to swell and cause symptoms of gum disease.

Since periodontal disease has been linked to both premature birth and low birth weight of babies, seeking treatment for gum disease during your pregnancy is important [1].

Symptoms of gum disease could include puffy or tender gum tissue, bleeding when brushing, and even sensitive teeth. Your dentist can help you receive safe and effective care for gum disease during your pregnancy!

Keep Up With Your Oral Care

Brushing twice a day and flossing once a day is still essential for your oral care when expecting a baby [2]. However, if you’re experiencing morning sickness, be careful not to brush your teeth immediately afterward. Your vomit contains harsh stomach acids that can weaken tooth enamel, increasing the likelihood that you would damage it when brushing.

Instead, rinse your mouth out thoroughly with water after vomiting and wait about one hour before brushing your teeth. You can chew sugarless gum if you need a breath freshener before brushing, and it may help protect your tooth enamel [3]!

Eat Healthy for You and Your Baby

Eating a well-balanced diet can help support your health as well as your developing baby’s. However, snacking and cravings are undeniable parts of pregnancy for many mothers.

While it’s important to stay nourished, there are things you can do to help prevent sugary or sticky foods from affecting your smile and weakening your tooth enamel during your pregnancy [4].

• Drink water. Drinking water when eating sugary foods or frequently indulging in snacks
  can help prevent harmful acids from damaging your teeth!
• Ensure you have all the nutrients you need. Pregnant women are eating for two, so
  they need extra nutrients to help nourish their body and their baby. Many women opt
  for additional supplements to ensure they have everything they need for a healthy baby.
• Don’t skip your dental visits. Your dentist can tell if something is off with your smile and recommend treatment as necessary. Getting a checkup at least once during your pregnancy—and ideally before and after as well—can help you avoid gum disease and other common issues that can threaten the health of your growing little one.

Keeping your smile healthy is advantageous to both you and your baby during your pregnancy. Always keep up with your oral care at home and schedule a checkup with your dentist if you’re expecting or planning to get pregnant!

Tooth sensitivity is typically caused by damage to your tooth enamel—meaning your enamel has been worn away to expose dentin, which is the softer layer underneath. However, sensitive teeth could be caused by another type of injury to the tooth that could require more immediate attention from your dentist.

How can you reduce tooth sensitivity to still enjoy all the foods you love? Here are some top tips for keeping your sensitivity at bay!

Invest in a Softer Toothbrush

One of the ways tooth enamel can become damaged is through harsh brushing. If you own a stiff-bristled toothbrush and are putting too much pressure on your teeth when brushing, you could be damaging your tooth enamel and not be aware of it.

The American Dental Association recommends brushing your teeth with a toothbrush that has soft bristles [1]. You can still thoroughly brush your teeth, but there’s no need to be forceful—plaque can be removed just as well with a softer toothbrush and gentle cleaning action!

Consider a Desensitizing Toothpaste

If you have sensitive teeth, your dentist will likely recommend using a desensitizing toothpaste for your daily brushing routine to help improve your discomfort. Desensitizing toothpastes typically contain potassium nitrate, which can be a helpful compound for reducing teeth that are hypersensitive [2]. Your dentist can recommend a specific brand that will be helpful based on your level of sensitivity!

Ask Your Dentist About an In-Office Fluoride Treatment

Your dentist may be able to improve your tooth sensitivity with an in-office fluoride treatment.

This gel-like substance is used to help strengthen your tooth enamel and reduce tooth sensitivity [3]. This procedure is safe and painless, and can also help protect your smile against cavities until your next visit, which can be helpful for people with damaged tooth enamel who are more at risk for cavities.

Manage Your Triggers

From cold foods to sweet treats to spicy meals, people with tooth sensitivity are triggered by many of the foods they enjoy. To help better manage your tooth sensitivity, be conscious about what you consume and how it affects your smile. For example, if you find spicy foods trigger your tooth sensitivity, consider toning down the spiciness of a meal. If cold foods bother you, leave a cold food item out of the fridge or freezer for a few minutes before eating it.

Combined with the above tips, managing your triggers for tooth sensitivity can be immensely helpful!

You Don’t Have to Live With Tooth Sensitivity

There is treatment for tooth sensitivity regardless of how sensitive your teeth are or what damage they have experienced. Whether you suffer from mild or severe discomfort from your sensitive teeth, schedule an appointment with your dentist today to see what you can do to help improve your discomfort!

Since oral health can affect your body, poor dental health can actually impact your athletic performance. Whether you love to exercise at home or are an avid competitor, here’s what you need to know about your dental health when it comes to your physical performance!

Pain Can Affect Your Ability to Train

Having poor oral health—including increased plaque, tooth decay, or gum disease—can cause pain and discomfort in your mouth. Pain can affect your ability to fully participate in trainings and competitions, and can even affect eating [1]. All of these have the ability to impact your athletic ability.

Pain can make it difficult not only to concentrate, but to give a sport or competition your absolute best effort. Keeping your smile healthy can help you avoid discomfort and give your full attention and effort to your athletic performance!

Poor Dental Health Impacts Your Overall Wellbeing

Research indicates that poor oral health can affect your entire wellbeing [2]. Tooth decay and gum disease can both cause and maintain inflammation in the body, which can not only make it more difficult to reach your maximum physical performance, but also hinder your recovery time from trainings.

Poor dental health can also impact your quality of life, which can, in turn, affect your physical ability. A healthy smile is an integral part of a healthy body—so maintaining your oral health can help maintain bodily health as well!

Strong Teeth Keep You in the Game

Did you know that athletes are at an increased risk for oral disease and trauma? This is because exercise can cause dehydration, which can lead to dry mouth. Dry mouth carries an increased risk for cavities and gum disease. In addition, physical stress can lead to teeth grinding, and sports snacks and drinks tend to contain a lot of added sugar.

Athletes that have existing oral health problems such as tooth decay have a higher chance of sustaining an injury to their smile during their sport or competition. Teeth that are weakened by tooth decay or gum disease are more susceptible to cracks, chips, and even to be knocked out by an impact.

Are You an Athlete?

Whether you play sports or just enjoy the occasional jog, keeping up with your oral health is essential to your performance. If you play a contact sport, it’s always a good idea to invest in a custom mouthguard from your dentist to prevent an injury that could permanently alter your smile. And by keeping up with your regular oral care habits at home and visiting your dentist, you can ensure a strong smile to support your highest physical performance!

Calcium Supports Healthy Jawbone

The bone in your jaw helps support your teeth and is called alveolar bone. Calcium is a mineral that helps support healthy alveolar bone (and healthy bones in general), which, in turn, supports your teeth and helps to keep them strong in your jaw [1].

Lack of calcium has been linked to both bone and tooth loss. Women who have gone through menopause may be more at risk to experience a calcium deficiency, and certain medications can also affect calcium absorption. A simple blood test can tell if you’re getting enough calcium in your diet!

Vitamin D Affects Tooth Health and Oral Disease

Low vitamin D has been shown to impact oral health [2]. This essential vitamin affects tooth remineralization, which helps keep teeth strong to resist decay. Without enough vitamin D, the body may not have the same ability to protect tooth enamel, which could lead to an increased risk for cavities and tooth sensitivity.

Vitamin D also affects bone mineral density, as it works with calcium to keep teeth and bones strong. In addition, lacking vitamin D could increase your risk of developing periodontal disease, better known as gum disease [3]. Vitamin D also plays a role in the immune system, and may enhance the body’s ability to resist infection, which could be why people with low vitamin D may be more at risk for gum disease.

How Much Calcium and Vitamin D Should You Get?

Unfortunately, vitamin D deficiency is common around the world, and certain adults are also susceptible to calcium deficiency as we’ve seen. So how much calcium and vitamin D should you get to support healthy teeth and gums?

You should always consult with your doctor about specific amounts, but generally, adults (both men and women) should get about 1,000 milligrams of calcium every day, ideally from food [4].

If you have a calcium deficiency, your doctor may recommend certain supplements.

The amount of vitamin D you need will vary individually, but generally, adults should get about 600 IU of vitamin D. Your body makes vitamin D from sunlight exposure, but you can also get it from certain foods including fish, mushrooms, and milk (including fortified plant-based milks).

It’s no secret that your diet impacts your smile—and vitamin D and calcium are two of the central players when it comes to keeping your teeth and gums in tip-top shape. Are you getting enough calcium and vitamin D? Find out from a blood test, and schedule a checkup with your dentist to learn how healthy your smile is!

Drinks that contain alcohol have been associated with certain oral health problems, and the more frequently you drink or the more alcohol you consume, your risk for these problems increases. Is alcohol bad for your dental health? We’ll let you decide after reading about its effects!

Alcohol Can Damage Tooth Enamel

Most types of alcohol are very acidic, and as such, are corrosive to tooth enamel [2]. What this means is that alcohol can wear away tooth enamel over time, especially if you neglect to brush your teeth before bed after a night of drinking.

Alcohol also dehydrates the body, which leads to less saliva in your oral cavity. Less saliva means less protection for your tooth enamel, which can lead to damage that can cause tooth sensitivity, an increased risk for tooth decay, and oral infections. Between its dehydrating effects and its acidity, alcohol can hurt your tooth enamel!

Drinking Aggravates Your Gum Tissue

People who drink alcohol frequently are at an increased risk to develop periodontal (gum) disease [3]. Because drinkers tend to have worse oral health habits than those who don’t drink, they’re more likely to develop gum disease at some point in their lives.

Drinkers also tend to have more plaque in their oral cavities, which can accumulate around the gums to cause the irritation and infection characteristic of gum disease. In people who have existing gum disease, drinking can make the condition worse!

Increased Risk for Oral Cancer

Frequent or heavy alcohol consumption has been linked to an increased risk of numerous types of cancer, including oral cancer. In fact, alcohol abuse is the second largest risk factor for developing oral cancer [4]. Oral cancer includes cancers of the soft tissues of the mouth and throat, including the lips, cheeks, tongue, and sinuses

If caught early, treatment for oral cancer has a relatively high success rate, but if not caught early, the disease can be life-threatening. Fortunately, your dentist can conduct an oral cancer screening whenever you visit for checkups as part of your exam!

So is alcohol bad for your dental health? Between its effect on tooth enamel, gum tissue, and the fact that it increases your risk for oral cancer, we would say so! If you do choose to drink, always drink in moderation and sip water with your drink to minimize alcohol’s effects on your teeth.

The best thing you can do besides live a healthy lifestyle is visit your dentist regularly to ensure that if there are any problems with your smile, they’re caught early to give you plenty of time and treatment options to fix them!

Dry mouth is a condition that has consequences for your oral health, especially if you suffer from chronic dry mouth, sometimes referred to as xerostomia. There are many causes of a dry mouth, and remedying this condition will all depend on addressing the root cause.

What oral health concerns are caused by dry mouth?

Increased Risk for Tooth Decay and Infections

Part of saliva’s role in our mouths is to balance oral bacteria. This balance is easily thrown off by having less saliva in your oral cavity. Dry mouth increases your risk for tooth decay, as well as for fungal infections such as oral thrush [1].

Lack of saliva gives bad bacteria a better chance to attack your tooth enamel. If you repeatedly experience dry mouth, your tooth enamel can suffer, which can cause cavities or an infection to occur.

Tooth Sensitivity

Tooth enamel protects your teeth and plays a vital role in keeping them healthy and strong. However, in cases of dry mouth, bacteria can attack your tooth enamel, causing uncomfortable sensitivity.

Tooth sensitivity is the result of a demineralization of your tooth enamel, which is what happens when acids and bacteria weaken enamel over time [2]. People who experience chronic dry mouth are more likely to have sensitive teeth.

You may experience this sensitivity when eating very hot or very cold foods, but some people experience painful sensitivity when eating sweet or spicy foods as well.

Gum Disease

Did you know dry mouth also increases your risk for gum disease [3]? This is because people who have less saliva in their mouths tend to have more plaque on their teeth. Plaque is the result of food particles and bacteria that can build up on your teeth over time.

If not removed, plaque can begin to irritate your gumline, which can eventually lead to an ongoing infection and gum disease. While brushing and flossing certainly helps to remove plaque—along with professional teeth cleanings—dry mouth can make plaque and its effects worse even for people who keep up with their oral care.

What Can You Do?

Dry mouth can be the result of many things, among them certain medications, dehydration, tobacco and alcohol use, and even certain autoimmune disorders. Determining the cause of your dry mouth is essential to treating it.

Your dentist can help you determine what’s causing your dry mouth and work with you to not only remedy the problem, but to take the best care of your teeth and gums to prevent damage that can lead to tooth decay, oral infections, gum disease, and tooth sensitivity.

If you experience dry mouth, don’t hesitate to reach out to your oral healthcare professional. Your saliva plays a crucial role in keeping your teeth and gums healthy, so don’t ignore dry mouth!

1. Drinking Seltzer Water

Many people consider seltzer water, sometimes referred to as sparkling water, as a healthier alternative to soda.

While sparkling water with no added sugar can be better than soda in some instances, it’s still infused with carbon dioxide to give it bubbles. However, this carbon dioxide turns into carbonic acid, which lowers the pH of the drink.

What this means is that whereas regular water typically has a pH of around 7, seltzer water has a pH of around 3-4 [1]. Some sodas have a pH of as low as 2, which is extremely acidic, but seltzer water isn’t as much of a healthier choice as people think.

2. Brushing Your Teeth Too Hard

Your tooth enamel is the hardest substance in your body, but it can still be damaged from acidic foods and drinks, bacteria, and yes, even brushing your teeth too hard!

Brushing aggressively isn’t necessary to remove plaque from your teeth. Take the time to brush each tooth and floss and harsh brushing won’t be necessary. And remember to choose a toothbrush with soft bristles to further minimize damage to your tooth enamel!

3. Mouth Breathing

Breathing through your mouth can be damaging to your tooth enamel, especially when done on a regular basis. In fact, mouth breathing can promote gum disease and tooth decay [2]! People may breathe through their mouths when snoring, exercising, or just out of habit. Regardless, take steps to curb this harmful habit, which can dry out your mouth and promote bacteria that cause oral disease.

4. Snacking

Constantly exposing your oral cavity to snacks throughout the day can damage your tooth enamel. Snacking is fine, but try to limit your snacks so that you aren’t consistently eating.

When we eat food, our mouths begin to break down the food through bacteria and saliva. But eating too frequently or eating the wrong kinds of foods can harm teeth. When you do snack, choose healthy options such as apples or carrots!

5. Not Addressing Acid Reflux

If you have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), otherwise known as acid reflux, it’s important to have this condition under control. Not only can acid reflux be harmful to your stomach and esophagus—it can be extremely damaging to teeth.

For some patients with acid reflux, harsh stomach acids can travel up the esophagus and end up in the oral cavity, where they can wreak havoc on teeth. These acids can wear away tooth enamel, leading to tooth sensitivity, discoloration, cavities, and even tooth loss [3].

Did you know any of these five things could hurt your teeth? Be mindful when taking care of your smile. By protecting your teeth and gums with regular healthy habits, you can smile bright for life!

If left untreated, cracked teeth can lead to decay or an infection that can compromise the health of your entire tooth. If your dentist finds that your tooth has indeed been cracked, what are your best options to repair it and get your smile back to normal?

Dental Bonding

For cracks that are minor, dental bonding can help restore teeth. Dental bonding involves using a tooth-colored composite resin—the same material used for many modern fillings—to fill in small cracks and protect teeth from further damage.

Dental bonding is a simple and minimally-invasive treatment option; however, your dentist may not recommend dental bonding if the crack in your tooth is more severe.

Fillings

In some cases, cracked teeth can also be repaired with fillings, similarly to cavities. Cusps, or points, on the teeth—of which canine teeth only have one while molars will have several—can be fractured or completely broken off. In cases such as these, dental fillings can be ideal for repairing fractured cusps and restoring your tooth [1].

Root Canal Therapy

If you have a tooth that’s been deeply cracked—such as a tooth with a crack that extends below the gumline—your dentist may recommend root canal therapy. Teeth with cracks such as these—commonly the lower molars—can benefit from root canal therapy [2]. A cracked tooth may be at risk for infection or already be infected, in which case, root canal therapy will offer you your best chance to save your tooth and avoid an extraction.

Dental Crowns

For patients that have a severely fractured tooth cusp or for those that have received root canal therapy, your dentist may utilize a dental crown to protect your tooth’s structure. Dental crowns have been shown to reduce symptoms of cracked teeth and help protect them from future cracks and other damage [3].

Dental crowns are either made from porcelain ceramic or acrylic resin and will act as a type of cap that covers your natural tooth and provides additional protection. Dental crowns are durable and match your natural teeth, making them useful for a variety of cracked tooth cases.

Do You Have a Cracked Tooth?

Symptoms of a cracked tooth could include pain, tooth sensitivity, or swelling around the affected area. If you suspect your tooth has sustained an injury, it’s time to schedule an appointment with your local dentist to evaluate your smile and get a potential repair!

However, gum tissue is not immune to problems, particularly disease and irritation that can
make gum tissue sensitive and painful. What exactly can cause gum sensitivity and what will
help it go away?

Brushing or Flossing Too Aggressively

Surprisingly, most people are using the wrong toothbrush. Brushing with a toothbrush that has
stiff bristles can harm gum tissue as well as your tooth enamel. As long as you’re using quality
brushing techniques, a soft-bristled toothbrush is your best bet to protect your gums and your
tooth enamel from damage.

Flossing too aggressively can also cause sensitive gum tissue, especially if you haven’t flossed in
a long time. Be gentle when flossing and don’t rush. Avoid making a sawing motion at your gum
tissue with the floss. By taking the time to brush and floss your teeth properly, you can avoid
irritating your gums!

Periodontal Disease

Periodontal disease, or gum disease, is an unfortunate reality for millions of Americans today.
Symptoms of gum disease include swollen or sensitive gum tissue that may bleed [1]. Gum
disease is progressive and if left untreated can lead to loose teeth and even tooth loss.

By the time gum disease produces symptoms, the disease is already progressing, which makes
getting regular checkups with your dentist all the more important. However, making an
appointment with your dentist as soon as you notice symptoms can help you get the treatment
you need as soon as possible to reverse your gum sensitivity.

Pregnancy

Hormone changes during pregnancy can cause increased blood flow to the gum tissue which
may make gums more swollen and sensitive [2]. Periodontal disease during pregnancy is also
common due to changing hormones and can cause sensitive teeth and bleeding gum tissue.

It’s safe to see your dentist while you’re pregnant and in fact may even be important not only
for your health but for the health of your baby, as periodontal disease has been linked to
premature birth and low birth weight, so get those checkups!

Chronic Stress

Experiencing stress from time to time is normal, but experiencing chronic, prolonged stress has
the potential to cause inflammation throughout the body as the result of the hormone cortisol.
This type of chronic inflammation can lead to symptoms of gum disease such as sensitive gum
tissue and has been linked to other health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes [3].

Your dentist can help you prevent gum disease with regular checkups and cleanings, and by
managing your stress, you’ll help your body as well as your smile!

Sensitive gum tissue is trying to tell you something, so don’t ignore gums that may be red,
tender, or inflamed. By seeing your dentist and getting a checkup to evaluate your gum health,
you can help protect and nourish your teeth with healthy gum tissue for life!

While most people keep an eye out for typical pregnancy symptoms such as fatigue or a missed period, your teeth and gums might be more telling than you think. Is teeth and gum sensitivity a symptom of pregnancy? The answer might surprise you!

Hormones Can Alter Your Level of Teeth and Gum Sensitivity

Hormones are powerful messengers in the body, and yes, they can make your teeth and gums more sensitive! Some mothers-to-be go through periods of teeth and gum sensitivity, while others may have it consistently throughout their pregnancy.

In fact, hormones can even alter the way your body responds to a potential infection, such as the infection that can come with gum disease. These changes can cause sensitive teeth and gums, which should always be checked out by a dentist to protect you and your little one!

Increased Circulation Can Cause Swollen Gums

Most women will experience an increase in blood circulation during pregnancy in order to provide the developing fetus with nutrients during this essential time. However, this increased blood flow can cause your gum tissue to swell and become sensitive as well.

You may find that brushing your teeth is painful, or, you may have sensitivity to hot and cold foods where you didn’t have sensitivity before. However, swollen gums can also be a symptom of gum disease, so if this symptom persists, don’t hesitate to follow up with your dentist.

Many Expecting Mothers Are Prone to Gum Disease

Pregnant women are more susceptible to gum disease due to their fluctuating hormones. If you’re vomiting as a result of the morning sickness that the majority of new mothers experience, your teeth can be negatively impacted by your pregnancy.

If you’re seeing symptoms of gum disease, such as swollen, red gums, bad breath, or increased tooth sensitivity, don’t just blame it on your pregnancy. Gum disease in women has been linked to premature birth and low birth weight, so getting this infection treated is not only important to your health, but to your baby’s health as well.

Getting treatment for gum disease during pregnancy is safe, so schedule an appointment with your dentist if you’re having symptoms to ensure you have a safe, healthy pregnancy.

Are you concerned you might be pregnant? It’s true that changes in your oral cavity—including increased teeth and gum sensitivity—can be a symptom of pregnancy. Don’t wait to schedule an appointment with your dentist during your pregnancy to get your smile checked out. You’ll enjoy your pregnancy even more with a healthy smile!
