Preventing Female Hormone Linked Gum Disease.
Along side with proper dental hygiene (brushing and flossing daily) It is important to make and keep dental check ups every six months more if there is evidence of gum problems or for pregnant women and those suffering from bone loss.
In the past pregnant women may have been discouraged from seeing a dentist during pregnancy, now however it is strongly recommended for pregnant women to scale and plane the roots of teeth to eliminate some gum disease.
