A study prepared by researchers from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research in the United States reveals that a Dental treatment during pregnancy does not increase the risk of having a premature delivery. In the past, future moms avoided these treatments more prudently than by any study that revealed the existence of any type of contraindication for pregnancy.
For the study, 823 future moms who were between 13 and 17 weeks of gestation and who had a gum problem were investigated, half of the women subject to this study (413) were treated against the problems Dental before they turned 21 weeks of gestation. Of these women, 12% gave birth before 37 weeks of pregnancy, which was even lower than that provided by future mothers who were not treated (410), whose figure reached 12.8%. Similarly, no difference was found with respect to the weight of newborns.
This is intended to show that periodical care does not affect pregnancy causing premature birth, it is good news that will prevent the deterioration of many dentures. The study and all the details have been published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
