3 Rules for Healthy Teeth During Pregnancy

If a pregnant woman’s diet lacks essential vitamins and minerals, not only the baby but also the expectant mother suffers, as the body will draw on the woman’s own reserves to compensate for the deficiency. That is why it is not always possible to avoid dental problems during pregnancy. By consulting specialists, you can always maintain a snow-white smile and undergo dental implant surgery—this is possible here at Andrey Lukashuk’s dental clinic.

So how can you maintain a beautiful smile? It’s actually quite simple:

1. Before pregnancy, get your teeth treated and undergo professional oral hygiene with enamel strengthening.

2. Brush your teeth, interdental spaces, and tongue regularly.

3. Eat a balanced diet during pregnancy: consume foods rich in calcium (cottage cheese, fish, milk), foods containing phosphorus, magnesium, and fluoride (grains, especially oats and buckwheat), foods with sufficient protein (legumes, meat, and fish dishes), and potassium (potatoes, rye bread, and multigrain bread). Dried apricots and apricots are good for dental health—they contain more phosphorus, magnesium, and calcium than other foods. Eat apples: they also contain calcium, and most importantly, chewing them naturally cleans your teeth of food debris. Rinse your mouth with water after every snack.
