It's almost funny that April is National Oral Health month - only because I have an upcoming dentist appointment. The worst time I was in the dentist's chair was when I was 35 weeks pregnant and had a wisdom tooth pulled. 70 per cent of all pregnant women suffer from inflamed gums, which is a sign of gingivitis...but not all pregnant women get teeth pulled!
To keep your teeth healthy and happy, through pregnancy or not, dentists recommend brushing twice daily for two minutes (I love my Oral-B® ProfessionalCare SmartSeries 5000 with SmartGuide™ Electric Toothbrush - it times my brushing for me), flossing once daily and using a rinse. Most Canadians do admit to not following this routine.
