Why Your Oral Health Matters During Pregnancy

Taking care of your oral health during pregnancy isn’t just about you, it’s about protecting your baby too.

1

Bacterial Transmission

Cavity-causing bacteria can pass from mother to baby through saliva (kissing, sharing utensils, cleaning pacifiers).

2

Pregnancy Complications

Gum disease has been linked to preterm birth, low birth weight, and preeclampsia.

3

Early Habits

Babies learn from what they see—your healthy habits become theirs.

What this program gives you

Everything you need for you and your baby's oral health journey.
