New Delhi, Jan 09 (ANI): Pregnant women with gingivitis are significantly more likely to have premature deliveries, according to the findings of a new study.They go through many uncomfortable health issues as the months go by. During this phase, they are also highly susceptible to gingivitis, which can induce poor pregnancy outcomes. Gingivitis is referred to as an inflammation of the gums that is caused when plaque accumulates in the opening between the teeth and the gum. If untreated, this can lead to the accumulation of bacteria, which in turn can cause loss of bone around the teeth and may eventually lead to tooth decay and tooth loss. Not only can this cause harm to the expecting mother but it can even increase the chances of miscarriages, premature deliveries, and babies with low birth weight. Most dentists advise pregnant women to use extra-soft toothbrushes and alcohol-free or salt rinses.
