If you\u2019re a part of that statistic, you know from experience how much it can affect your appearance and overall quality of life. Well, dental implants are an excellent method of tooth replacement that can help you enjoy a complete smile once again! However, you may want to hold off on getting them if you\u2019re pregnant. Read on to learn why getting dental implants is discouraged during pregnancy. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy and Dental Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone needs to visit their dentist every six months to keep\ntheir oral health in check. In fact, the American College of Obstetricians and\nGynecologists and the American Dental Association both encourage pregnant women\nto seek out regular preventive dental care because if they\u2019re healthy, their\nbaby is healthy. Although elective procedures like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edfamilydental.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a> <em>can<\/em>\nbe performed after the first trimester, most oral surgeons prefer to wait until\npatients are no longer pregnant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Should Pregnant Women Wait to Get Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental treatments like fillings, crowns, and root canals are\nusually performed after giving patients local anesthesia, which is completely\nsafe during pregnancy. However, dental implant placement requires stronger\nanesthesia because it\u2019s a more invasive procedure \u2013 and that can be risky for\nthe expectant mother and her unborn baby. You will also need X-rays before the\nprocedure, which is another risk that the ADA discourages during the first\ntrimester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Prepare for Dental Implant Surgery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you pregnant and interested in getting dental implants?\nThe good news is that you can get started with the process once you\u2019ve reached\nyour second trimester. At that point, X-rays will no longer be of risk to you. During\nyour consultation, your dentist will conduct an oral examination and evaluate\nyour jawbone health to determine whether or not any preliminary treatments are\nnecessary before dental implant placement. In preparation for your oral surgery,\nit\u2019s incredibly important that you maintain good oral health. Make sure you\u2019re\npracticing good oral hygiene at home, visiting your dentist as instructed, and\nfollowing a healthy lifestyle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pregnancy doesn\u2019t have to stop you from getting started with\nthe dental implant process.
