Abstract

Pregnancy is a unique time in a woman's life with many physiological, physical, emotional and hormonal changes occurring. It can also be quite an anxious time for women particularly in the first trimester when the risk of miscarriage is at its highest. Uncertainty still exists around the topic of dental treatment and care during pregnancy, which may create challenges for both the patient and the dental team. CPD/Clinical Relevance: The treatment options available when managing pregnant patients and for safe prescribing for this population are described.
