How can wisdom teeth be removed during the expectant mother's visit?

Oral science

Many women go to the hospital for a pre-pregnancy check-up in the early stages of pregnancy, but few people pay attention to their oral health, let alone know about their wisdom teeth.

And pregnancy itself will bring a lot of discomfort to pregnant mothers, and if wisdom teeth hurt during pregnancy, it is really a worse thing.

So, can wisdom teeth be removed during pregnancy?

A special period in a woman's life

1. Menstrual period:It is advisable not to extract the tooth.

Compensatory bleeding may occur during menstrual tooth extraction, and it is generally considered that tooth extraction should be postponed. In addition, 10 days after the menstrual period, there is less bleeding for tooth extraction, less pain, low infection rate after surgery, and fast wound healing, which is a good time for tooth extraction.

2. Pregnancy:Tooth extraction is not recommended.

The fetus is unstable in the first 3 months, and the expectant mother has a pregnancy reaction, making it difficult to manipulate the oral cavity.

After 3 months, some expectant mothers may still have nausea, vomiting and other reactions and should not sit for a long time.

If it is necessary, please do it with the permission of the doctor.

3. Lactation:Tooth extractions must be done with caution

After tooth extraction, it may be necessary to take antimicrobial drugs according to individual conditions, and drugs and their metabolites may affect the baby through breast milk, so if you can only breastfeed, you should consider carefully.

Key points of oral knowledge and health care during pregnancy

1. Brush your teeth at least once a day in the morning and evening

Use warm water, a soft-bristled toothbrush, and brush comprehensively, and do not use too much force when brushing your teeth, which will not necessarily brush cleaner, but will damage your teeth.

2. Rinse your mouth more after brushing your teeth

It is advisable to take two sips, about 10 seconds each time. If you rinse your mouth too much, it will weaken the health care effect on your teeth.

3. Conduct regular oral examinations

In this way, you can get oral health care guidance from the doctor in time, but the pregnant mother must tell the doctor that she is pregnant to avoid X-rays, etc.

4. Eat more vegetables

Such as celery, carrots, cucumbers, etc., which are very good for the health of your teeth.
