Reply:Well your dental health is important to your overall health. There for it can effect your baby. Having your teeth cleaned during pregnancy is important becasue if you got an infection or something in your mouth it could be passed on to the baby. This is why you should make sure you see the dentist.
Reply:Really it is just important to have your teeth cleaned while you are pregnant. Lots of women develop pregnancy gingivitis. This can lead to other problems...surprisingly even miscarriage. Plus there is a bacteria that is produced by either tarter or plaque (I think it's tarter) that can get into the blood stream and can cause serious problems with the baby, including miscarriage. I would guess the thinking is that if you don't have dental insurance you would be more likely to put off going to the dentist than if you did have insurance.
Reply:No i have never heard that. Just have a regular check up or cleaning 2 times a year or more if your teeth are bad. If you dont have insurance visit a local college that has a dental clinic.
