The best time for pregnant women to treat dental diseases
During pregnancy, it is not suitable for dental treatment because of the need to ensure the health of the fetus. However, if the teeth have serious lesions, some temporary treatment is still needed, and other treatments will be completed after delivery.
1, before pregnancy (three months before pregnancy)
At this time, the embryo is in the most critical development period, and the baby's brain, cardiovascular system, facial features, teeth, limbs, etc. are all developed and shaped at this stage, which is also the period when the embryo is most vulnerable to external influences.
If pregnant women receive too much X-ray radiation or take some drugs at this time, the fetus is prone to deformity or even abortion. Therefore, during this period, dental treatment is not recommended unless it is an emergency.
2, the second trimester of pregnancy (fourth to sixth months)
If you have to have dental treatment during pregnancy, then this is the most suitable time during pregnancy. Because the embryo is basically stable at this time, it is safer to do dental treatment. However, it is suggested to do some temporary treatment at this time, such as filling teeth. And wait until after delivery to do perfect treatment.
3. Late pregnancy (late pregnancy)
During this period, it is not recommended that pregnant women do long-term disease treatment, because at this time, if the external stimulus is relatively large, the uterus of pregnant women may contract ahead of schedule.
Moreover, you need to lie down when you are doing treatment. This lying posture will make the inferior vena cava of pregnant women be squeezed to a certain extent, causing postural hypotension and decreased cardiac output. Pregnant women will also have insufficient blood supply and severe syncope.
If treatment is needed, it is recommended that pregnant women choose the left lateral position, reduce weight for venous compression, or occasionally change the lying position.
