‘A pregnant woman, about 34 years old, came to the dental clinic with severe pain in her teeth and gums. When the doctors examined her, they found that there was a thick layer of plaque, a hard substance containing bacteria, around her teeth. Doctors advised to get it cleaned but she said that she is pregnant and will not get her teeth cleaned or scaling done right now, so give her medicine and send her home. Even after the doctors explained, he followed the advice of his family members and did not get his teeth cleaned.
‘After this the woman left from there but after one and a half months of giving birth to the child, when she came to the clinic again, even the doctors were surprised to see her condition. The woman’s gums were swollen, the gums had left her teeth and four of her teeth were shaking as if they were about to fall out. The woman was screaming in severe pain and was not able to eat anything for the last few days. Ultimately, the doctors cleaned his teeth, gave him medication and kept him under observation for some time. After a few days, the woman’s teeth and gums became healthy.
This case came to the dental clinic of Noida. Dr. Libi Singh, founder of Jabis Dental Solutions, Noida and former senior consultant, Fortis Hospital, who treated the woman, said that not only women but also men make many such mistakes regarding teeth that they have to regret later. The woman was lucky that her teeth were only moving and had not fallen, otherwise she would have had to face a lot of problems. If she had taken proper dental treatment during pregnancy, she would not have faced so many problems.
