Pregnant women should always inform their dentist about their pregnancy before undergoing any dental treatment, no matter how minor it may seem. This is extremely important for several key reasons:

1. Protecting the Developing Baby

During pregnancy—especially in the first trimester—the baby's vital organs are forming. Certain dental procedures, medications, or even X-rays can potentially affect the developing fetus if not managed with proper precautions.

2. Modifying Treatment Plans

When pregnancy is disclosed, the dentist can adjust or postpone non-urgent treatments until after delivery or during the second trimester, which is generally safer. Emergency procedures can still be performed but with extra care to ensure maternal and fetal safety.

3. Safe Use of Medications

Some painkillers, antibiotics, and anesthetics are not recommended during pregnancy. If the dentist is informed, they will prescribe only those medications that are known to be safe for both the mother and the baby.

4. Caution with Dental X-rays

Although modern dental X-rays involve minimal radiation, it is standard practice to limit or delay their use during pregnancy—especially in the early months. When necessary, additional precautions such as lead aprons and thyroid collars are used to protect both the mother and the fetus.

5. Managing Pregnancy-Related Oral Conditions

Hormonal changes during pregnancy can lead to conditions such as pregnancy gingivitis, gum bleeding, or swelling. Informing the dentist allows these symptoms to be correctly interpreted and safely managed.

6. Emergency Preparedness

In the event of complications such as fainting, nausea, or discomfort during a procedure, knowledge of the pregnancy enables the dental team to respond appropriately and safely.

Pregnancy alters the body’s response to dental care. Informing the dentist—whether the pregnancy is confirmed or suspected—is crucial. It ensures that all care provided is not only effective but also safe for both

Pt came in with a fractured tooth. One look and you know it is a vertical fracture. Hopeless prognosis. Indicated for extraction. Told the patient he could get the third molar done in the same appointment. It was slightly supraerupted. No antagonist upper molar. Every time you think things will be smooth sailing, karma and the gods of dentistry give you a reality check. What was an hour long appt - went on for an hour more!

Always schedule extra time for cases. So you can work STRESS FREE! no rush. Enough breathing space to handle complications. We work with humans and biological tissue - plenty of space for things to change dynamically.

I would rather see 2-3 patients and give them 100% rather than have a full OPD of 10 people clamoring for attention.

🚨 Attention parents and caregivers!

🦷 Severe Early Childhood Caries (ECC) is a silent epidemic affecting our little ones. This isn't just about baby teeth - it's about the future health and well-being of our children.

Take a close look at this clinical picture. It's not just decay; it's a potential lifetime of dental pain, difficulty eating, and even systemic health issues. The below image depicts S.ECC affected upper teeth of a 2.6year old.

💡 But here's the good news: ECC is preventable! By prioritizing first dental visit, early dental care, proper oral hygiene, and nutrition, we can save our children from unnecessary suffering.

Let's start the conversation, share your tips, experiences, and let's work together to ensure every child grows up with a healthy smile and a bright future.

Better post-heart attack outcomes for people who get dental care

In a University of Michigan study of patients who had a heart attack followed by periodontal care vs. no dental care, researchers found that the patients with shortest length of stay in the hospital were those who had received periodontal maintenance. The longest length of stay was experienced by those who hadn’t received dental care. While the study didn’t establish a causal relationship between periodontal disease and heart disease, “Our results add weight to the evidence that medical and dental health are closely interrelated. More and more studies like ours are showing that it is a mistake to practice medicine without the thoughtful consideration of the patient’s oral health,” said the study's u0906u092a.
