Being a mommy-in-the-making means all sorts of sacrifice. During this time, a mom-to-be can get so focused on making everything perfect for her little one that she can neglect her own health. But, a mom who cares for herself is also caring for her unborn child—that's especially true when it comes to oral health.
Because remember…
A mom whose oral health isn't great is more likely to pass aggressive and damaging bacteria to her newborn and that can cause trouble down the road (think about a 2-year-old having to have a cavity filled). So, while eating the right foods, avoiding the wrong ones (e.g., candy, cookies, and other sticky foods) and making all sorts of sacrifices to make your baby perfect, moms need to keep their oral health a top priority. And, make sure to visit your dental provider for regular check-ups.
