  1. DENTAL HEALTH TIPS FOR M O M S FOR EXPECTING & NEW MOMS Pregnant women are at increased risk for periodontal disease because the increased levels of progesterone that come with pregnancy cause an exaggerated response to plaque bacteria. As a result, pregnant women are more likely to develop gingivitis even if they follow a consistent oral health care routine. Rinse your mouth out with water or an alcohol-free mouth rinse if you suffer from morning sickness and have bouts of frequent vomiting. Eat a healthy, balanced diet. Your baby's first teeth begin to develop about three months into pregnancy. Healthy diets containing dairy products, cheese, and yogurt are a good source of these essential minerals and are good for baby's developing teeth, gums, and bones. FOR MOMS WITH YOUNG CHILDREN Working moms with kids are hard pressed for time, which means that they can neglect the basics, including proper dental hygiene, for themselves and their kids. Dental health is a critical component of overall health. Follow these tips to work dental hygiene into your daily schedule: 1. Drink lots of water. Keep a full pitcher of purified water in the fridge and water bottles in the car for easy access at home and on the go. 2. Keep a set of toothbrushes and toothpaste by the kitchen sink or at work. Get in the habit of brushing teeth after meals right in the kitchen to make it more convenient. 3. Keep travel toothbrushes and floss on hand. Pack a set of travel toothbrushes and floss in your purse or in the car so that you can brush and floss on the go when time is tight. 4. Make smart snack choices. Keep healthy snacks ready to eat in the fridge such as washed and sliced fruit and vegetables and cubed cheese. ELITE DENTAL CARE 3246 W.
