En raison de la pandémie de COVID-19, les dentistes et les orthodontistes ont dû prendre des mesures afin de limiter la propagation du virus dans leurs cliniques. Des protocoles ont donc été mis en place pour la sécurité de tous et de toutes. Cependant, le personnel des cliniques a aussi besoin de votre collaboration.
Nous vous demandons de vous renseigner sur les mesures à suivre lors de votre prochaine visite et de ne pas vous présenter si vous êtes atteint ou atteinte de la COVID-19, si vous avez des symptômes s’apparentant à la COVID-19 ou si vous avez été en contact avec une personne qui est ou pourrait être atteinte de la COVID-19.
Merci de votre compréhension et de votre coopération en ces temps difficiles.

Special considerationsA woman’s body undergoes many transformations during pregnancy. The mouth is no exception! Several of these changes have direct consequences on the gums and teeth during pregnancy: hormonal variations, nausea and vomiting, nutrition and oral hygiene. Special attention must be paid to pregnant women when it comes to dental cleaning, X-rays, prescription drugs, local anesthetics and dental treatments. |

Gum changes during pregnancyHormonal variations during pregnancy cause changes in every part of the body. Progesterone and estrogen levels increase. These changes affect particularly the gums by a reduction of the immune response, a thinner layer of keratin on the gums and some inflammation of the oral tissues. Pregnant women are therefore more at risk of developing gingivitis, despite maintaining exemplary oral hygiene. |

What is pregnancy gingivitis?Pregnancy gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums. It occurs as a result of hormonal changes and is exacerbated when the bacteria from dental plaque are not properly controlled by good dental hygiene. These bacteria produce acid which becomes very irritating to the tissues of the mouth already affected by hormonal changes. The most common signs of pregnancy gingivitis include red, swollen and bleeding gums, sometimes oozing pus when pressed and accompanied by bad breath (halitosis). Gums tend to bleed during tooth brushing or flossing. Pregnancy gingivitis is common and remains a benign illness although it should be taken seriously because it can worsen. |
