Hi, Dr. Anand here from Warragul Dental Care.
First off, congratulations on your pregnancy – such an exciting time! Just as you’re looking after your overall well-being, it’s important to give your dental health a bit of extra attention too.
If you’re already in the habit of regular check-ups, keep those appointments coming. But if it’s been a while since your last visit, now’s a great time to book one – ideally early in your pregnancy. Pregnancy hormones can sometimes make your gums more sensitive and prone to issues, so catching any potential problems early can really help.
You might be wondering about X-rays. The good news is that if you’re not in any discomfort, we generally steer clear of them unless absolutely necessary. Even though research suggests dental X-rays are safe, we usually hold off until after the baby arrives – just to be extra cautious.
If you’re expecting and want to keep your dental health in tip-top shape, let’s work together to ensure your smile stays as bright as ever. Simply give us a call on 03 8899 6937 or send us a DM to book your appointment today!
