A pregnant woman very oftenproblems with the teeth. Toothache during pregnancy is usually associated with hormonal changes occurring in the body. But the causes can be factors such as caries, pulpitis or periodontitis. If the pain occurs when you get into the affected cavity of food residues, as well as a sharp pain when drinking cold or hot liquid, then, most likely, the reason for this - caries. When tooth decay is not treated on time, it can develop into pulpitis or periodontitis.
Toothache in pregnant women is enoughoften, moreover, very quickly decay into periodontitis. This is due to the fact that changes occurring at the level of hormones occur in the blood and mucous membranes. Therefore, the inflammation of the periodontal tissue develops rapidly. The result of periodontitis may be the development of gingivitis (an inflammatory process in the gum area), which is common in pregnant women.
If the tooth hurts during pregnancy, one of the reasonsthis can be a violation of calcium metabolism in the body. If the body is healthy initially, and calcium is normal, then there will be no such violations. If on the contrary, it should be remembered that in the third trimester the active formation of the skeleton of the child is observed, and at this time, if there is insufficient quantity of calcium in the blood of the woman, her deficiency is compensated from her own bone tissue, first of all, from the teeth. Thus, the ligaments that hold the tooth in the alveolus lose calcium, which inevitably leads to periodontitis.
Lack of calcium can be a consequenceexacerbation of chronic diseases. When the disease is associated with a violation of the functions of the stomach or intestine, this can disrupt the proper absorption of this structural element. This situation leads to a decrease in the level of calcium in the body.
Toothache during pregnancy can also beis caused by a decrease in the protective properties of saliva. This process is inevitable, as in the future mothers there is a change in the work of many functions, in particular, the work of the salivary glands. As a result, the number of microbes that cause caries intensively multiplies in the oral cavity.
As a rule, pregnant women do not always have the opportunity to visit a dentist. In this case, you can try to ease your condition at home.
Initially, cleanse the inflamedThe tooth cavity is from the element that causes pain. This can be done with the help of specialized toothpastes or rinses for the mouth. With unbearable pain, you can take painkillers, but not more than two tablets. As you know, uncontrolled use of medications can harm the fetus and the mother.
If the toothache during pregnancy causes aching, but unsharp pain, you can eliminate it by rinsing:
There are special solutions for rinsing andtooth drops. All of the above means disinfect and anesthetize the inflamed part of the tooth. However, one must remember that the relief is temporary, the cause of the pain can not be destroyed by the solution. Therefore, a visit to the doctor should not be postponed.
The development of modern medicine is rapidly goingforward. To date, there are many dental clinics that work around the clock. They are created just in case of elimination of sharp pain, and also treatment of every possible complex inflammatory processes.
But the problems with the teeth - this is the case thatis much easier to prevent than to treat later. To do this, first of all, visit the dentist at the beginning of pregnancy or (if pregnancy is planned) immediately before her. The doctor will prescribe the vitamins you need and will cure your teeth in time, if such an intervention is required.
Remember that toothache during pregnancy canhave many causes and quickly develop into serious problems that it is very difficult for future mothers to eliminate. So do not be afraid to go to the dentist! The sooner you do this, the more painless it will be for you and your baby!
