TTC shortly- Does pregnancy cause any dental complications?

[Cassius2]

I have just had braces taken off (and am currently 8 months pg!). The only difficulty that dental work can have when pregnant is that they cannot do x-rays. so we opted to get the braces, fillings etc all done in one go before we started TTC.

Once you have the invisalign on there should be no problems that the pregnancy would contribute to. especially if you maintain good dental hygeine practices. I have had one issue with my teeth since the braces have come off, but again this was to do with the braces compromising the health of my teeth (creating too much pressure when separating - i had crowding) and this caused a crack in the back molar. but again, not pg related, just the nature of teeth!

HTH!

oh and another thing i had to take into consideration when i was pg was that i had to stop using high fluoride products (my dentist had me using some mega stuff so switched back to normal).

also remember to make sure you're getting lots of calcium - there will be a second set of bones growing in there and draining your supply.

I've just been to the dentist - all was good except my gums. Apparently during pregnancy even a little bit of plaque can cause havoc with gums, so I need to floss more.

I also made sure I had x-rays etc before TTC.
