After the doctor's examination, Ms. Huang was diagnosed with a maxillofacial infection caused by a tooth decay, and the doctor told Ms. Wong,pregnantThe first trimester is an important stage of fetal organ development, complex oral treatment is easy to lead to miscarriage, for the safety of the fetus, temporarily can only drill open the teeth of local medicine, and choose safe antibiotics to control the infection, to thoroughly treat, need to wait until the gestation period 4-6 months is relatively safe, this tooth decay will be detonated at any time during pregnancy "time bomb".

Many "expectant mothers" consciously go to the internal medicine and obstetrics and gynecology departments of the hospital for relevant examinations before planning to become pregnant, but they often neglect oral examinations. As everyone knows, due to the physiological changes of pregnancy, and the preference for sweet and sour food during pregnancy, it will often accelerate the destruction of the original tooth decay, once it evolves into acute pulpitis or apical periodontitis, it will not only bring unbearable pain to yourself, but also cause adverse effects on the fetus if you are not careful.

Tooth extraction is generally not suitable during pregnancy, especially pregnant women with a history of habitual miscarriage and preterm birth.pregnantIn the first 3 months and the last 3 months, tooth extraction may cause miscarriage and preterm birth, and the relatively safe tooth extraction period is between 4 and 6 months of pregnancy, but whether the tooth can be extracted should also be determined according to the comprehensive situation of dentists, obstetricians and pregnant women; Therefore, for residual roots and impacted wisdom teeth that cannot be retained, they should be removed prophylactically before pregnancy to avoid acute inflammation during pregnancy and affect the safety of pregnancy.

For those "expectant mothers", it is important to ensure that the health of their teeth is a prerequisite for ensuring a safe pregnancy.
