Pregnancy and Dentistry: A guide for the General Dental Practitioner. Part 1

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Pregnancy is a unique time in a woman's life when many physiological, physical, emotional and hormonal changes occur. 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 common health and oral health conditions that occur in pregnancy are relevant to all clinicians.
