Yes, gastric reflux (regurgitating food or drink) or the vomiting associated with morning sickness can cover your teeth with strong stomach acids. Repeated reflux and vomiting can damage the surface of the tooth (the enamel) and increase the risk of decay.
But also during pregnancy, hormonal changes can make your gums more easily irritated and inflamed. If you develop red, puffy or tender gums that bleed when you brush, you may be experiencing an exaggerated response to plaque that builds up on your teeth.
That’s why it’s important (and safe) to see your dentist while you are pregnant. Your dental health has a big impact on your overall health, which has a major influence on the health of your baby, so it’s important that you maintain a good dental health routine throughout your pregnancy.
It wouldn’t be morning sickness that is bad for your teeth, if anything it would be the acid in your vomit-so just keep cleaning your teeth after vomiting. Hope it helps
Definitely will. Rinse your mouth out but DO NOT brush your teeth straight after vomiting. Visit your dentist, they sell a topical treatment called Tooth Mousse. It will help protect your teeth. If you can, use a mouthwash a couple of times a day to help keep your gums healthy.
Yes it does. It wears away at all the enamel due to the acid. I lost a tooth due to the amount of vomiting I did when I was pregnant. Make sure you rinse your mouth out each time or even better if you can brush your teeth
It could do.
If at all possible its a good idea to visit a Dentist before you become pregnant so that you can get any work done and have a good professional clean.
If you are battling morning sickness then its important to make sure you rinse your mouth out with water everytime you are ill.
Unfortunately, yes due to the stomach acids you bring up.. But just keep your oral hygiene up, clean after each meal, & try to increase your calcium intake and you should be fine
(Don’t brush directly after you vomit, due to the acid coating on your teeth, you are more likely to scratch the enamel at this time).
