Some pregnant mothers will find that their teeth become loose for no apparent reason. Without understanding the cause, they will be more worried and anxious. Naturally, they dare not use medications indiscriminately, for fear of causing other adverse effects and harm to the baby's health. So below we will give you a detailed introduction to the reasons for loose teeth in pregnant women. Once we understand the cause, we will know how to effectively prevent and solve it. Due to pregnancy, the level of estrogen (mainly progesterone) in women's bodies will increase, affecting the response of gum tissue to local irritants and aggravating the degree of existing gingivitis. The gums (i.e. "gum beds") are prone to congestion, edema, hypertrophy, and bleeding. This condition is medically called "pregnancy gingivitis." As the fetus develops in the mother's body, bones and teeth need a lot of calcium and phosphorus, which can only be obtained from the mother's diet and bones. If the pregnant woman cannot get enough calcium and phosphorus from her diet, her bones will be deficient in calcium and the bones will become soft. As a result, the alveolar bone supporting the teeth will also become loose and soften. If you do not pay attention to oral hygiene, gingivitis will turn into a more serious "periodontitis", causing loose teeth or even tooth loss. From the analysis of the above content, it can be seen that it is actually a normal phenomenon for mothers to have loose teeth after pregnancy. This is mainly caused by the increase of estrogen in the body after pregnancy. Of course, pregnant women should also pay attention to some dental care in their daily lives to effectively prevent gingivitis during pregnancy. |
