However, with good brushing and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/grevillerdmd\/\"> flossing,<\/a> this is only temporary and should recover quickly.<\/p><p><strong>Food cravings<\/strong><br \/>Many pregnant women experience the urge to snack. Sweet and acidic foods especially increase the risk of <a href=\"https:\/\/grevillerdmd.com.au\/services\/\">tooth decay<\/a> and erosion. We recommended to reduce the number of sweets and choose healthier options e.g. fresh fruits and nuts.<\/p><p><strong>Morning sickness<\/strong><br \/>Unfortunately for some women in early pregnancy, they have morning sickness. Vomiting or reflux can create a very acidic environment in the mouth, and that can weaken their teeth enamel. Resist the temptation to brush immediately, as there is a risk of stripping away layers of the teeth surface. Instead, rinse out with warm water, and wait at least 30 minutes before brushing. Dairy products such as hard cheese are good for these instances as they neutralise the acids, and the salty taste tends to suppress the urge to vomit too!<\/p><p><strong>Dry mouth \/ Xerostomia<\/strong><br \/>This may be a result of certain <a href=\"https:\/\/grevillerdmd.com.au\/services\/\">hormonal and\/or dietary changes<\/a>, and the body produces less saliva. Saliva is extremely important for keeping the oral and dental tissues healthy, and it has an antibacterial effect on the teeth. This is usually easily managed by drinking more water, and sometimes sugar-free chewing gum helps stimulate saliva flow too.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2980a08 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2980a08\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">With the changes in oral health during pregnancy, it is important to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/grmatrix.com\/work\/greville-dev\/contact\/\">schedule regular dental visits<\/a>\u00a0before, during and after pregnancy.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/grmatrix.com\/work\/greville-dev\/our-team\/\">Our dentists<\/a>\u00a0will join your GP and obstetrician to form a team in looking after your wellbeing whilst anticipating the new member of your family.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that this week is Dental Health Week?
