Oral Health Care During Pregnancy
The National Maternal & Child Oral Health Resource Center recently convened an Expert Workgroup meeting to discuss oral health care during pregnancy. They published their results in this 24 page PDF document for health care professionals and expecting families to use as a guide for health during and after pregnancy. Click on this Link to view the Consensus Statement from the American Dental Association and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. There is a table of contents so you don't have to read all 24 pages. We hope this is a valuable tool for our patients.
