A member asked:

Is it bad for a pregnant woman to undergo oral prophylaxis or teeth cleaning? thank you.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

On the contrary: Inflamed/infected gums have been associated with premature birth/low weigh babies. By all means schedule prophylaxis. Let office know that you are pregnant so that appropriate timing can be selected.
