Wanting to Be Pregnant? See Your Dentist!

Germs and viruses can cause other medical problems, such as infertility and maybe even premature birth, according to a recent article in the East Valley Tribune. A prenatal checkup with your dentist can make all the difference.

Gum disease can make it harder to get pregnant, similar to how obesity can  be an obstacle.

Australian scientists found in a study that women with gum disease took seven months to get pregnant on average, two months longer than women with good oral health.

Women should include dental checkups in their prenatal care plan. The impact can help improve their health and the health of their baby.

Winterholler Dentistry recommends you visit your dentist for regular checkups to prevent periodontal disease and avoid other risk factors such as smoking, stress, poor nutrition, diabetes and more. Schedule a visit today!
