Hormonal changes can undermine the health of the mouth, so much so that one in every two pregnant women can suffer from gum problems. This is said by Sidp (Italian Society of Periodontology and Implantology) which in a video pill addressed the issue of female dental health.
“In a woman’s life there are different phases, in which hormonal changes can increase the risk of gum problems – explain by Sidp – In puberty, the increase in hormones acts directly on the gums inducing bleeding and inflammation. This can happen very often when a high-dose anti-conception drug is taken for a long time which increases the inflammation levels of the whole organism and significantly worsens the gingival and periodontal condition. Then there is pregnancy, the most beautiful moment of a woman’s life: the body changes and with it the biological mechanisms that regulate oral health “.
“About 50% of pregnant women suffer from gum disease and report bleeding, pain when brushing, swelling and even the presence of gum protuberances, epulids, which despite being temporary are very annoying – add the experts of the Scientific Society – In in these cases, what you have to do is periodically go to your dentist to check the health of the gums and maintain careful oral hygiene at home “.
Among the tips suggested by Sidp specialists, brush your teeth at least twice a day with a toothbrush, preferably electric, and use an interdental tool every day.
