What to do if pregnant women have severe periodontitis

In daily life, many pregnant women develop periodontal disease due to changes in pregnancy hormones and eating habits, which endangers their health. Pregnant women should pay enough attention to chronic inflammation of periodontal tissues and actively take appropriate methods for effective treatment in the early stages of the disease. If periodontitis is not treated in time, it will not only damage the chewing function of the oral cavity, but also cause loose teeth and loss of teeth, which is harmful to health. So what are the common methods for treating periodontitis in pregnant women?

1. Teeth cleaning:

Dental cleaning mainly uses ultrasonic rapid impact and polishing to remove plaque and tartar attached to teeth, which is conducive to effectively removing bacteria on the surface of teeth and under the gums. However, pregnant women should pay attention to dental cleaning treatment and must go to professionally certified regular hospitals for dental cleaning to avoid damage to oral structures due to improper operation.

2. Rinse your mouth with mouthwash:

Periodontitis is an infectious disease, and mouthwash can be used to improve tooth inflammation and play a certain role in anti-inflammatory and analgesic. As a special group, pregnant women should pay attention when choosing mouthwash to treat periodontitis. They must choose mouthwash specially designed for pregnant women to clean their mouths, so as to avoid improper use of mouthwash and adverse effects on the fetus.

3. Hold ginger slices in your mouth:

Ginger slices are a folk remedy with good curative effects. For patients with periodontitis, ginger can be used on the painful area to anesthetize the dental nerves by using the stimulating and bactericidal effects of ginger, exert a certain anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, quickly relieve toothache symptoms, and restore dental health.

For patients with periodontitis, local treatment is generally chosen, and medication is avoided as much as possible. Oral antibiotics can easily have a certain impact on the fetus in the abdomen, causing unnecessary harm. Of course, in order to avoid recurrence of the disease, pregnant women must pay attention to oral hygiene during pregnancy and develop a good habit of gargling frequently to effectively prevent the growth of bacteria.
