General Health Information

Due to hormonal imbalances and increased potential for dehydration, pregnancy and gingivitis
problems tend to go hand-in-hand. In addition, the immune system tends
to be strained during pregnancy making gum disease and gingivitis
problems more probable because the problems are caused by bacteria.
When the immune system is weakened, it is more difficult to contain the
infection caused by the bacteria. If left untreated, necrotizing
gingivitis or periodontitis may form and lead to even more dental
health problems.
