@chescaleigh And then the snacking, dry mouth, sugary electrolyte drinks, vomiting, acid reflux, all play a role in causing cavities during pregnancy. Having good oral hygiene prior to and during pregnancy is SO important! Sad that not everyone has dental care during pregnancy.
@chescaleigh Yep! Pregnancy gingivitis is bleeding gums/inflammation. But people do not lose a tooth from pregnancy. It has to be SEVERE prior, like, that tooth was already on its last leg and about to come out. Very common misconception.
@chescaleigh It is also false that a fetus “steals nutrients and causes cavities”. However it is true that pregnancy can be rough on oral health, people do not just lose their teeth out of no where. There is an underlying/undiagnosed condition for people’s teeth to fall out! ☹️
Btw for pundits out there… Republicans are barely winning because of illegal gerrymanders in Ohio, North Carolina and Florida. Their policies are not popular.
