Pregnant Women's Dental Health Examination
Last update date October 13, 2023
Let's have a maternity dental checkup for you who will become a mom!
When you become pregnant, the gums tend to swollen or become cavity due to changes in hormone balance and insufficient brushing due to sickness. Severe periodontal disease has also been reported to increase the frequency of preterm birth and underweight infants.

Have a dental checkup around 12 to 27 weeks of pregnancy as much as possible!
